Do you know of the Japanese version? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toilets_in_Japan#The_Sound_Pri... Edit: In a Shared Apartment we once connected a Radio and a Disco Ball to the light Switch. It was a windowless guest bathroom, we completely painted it black. Fun times.
It would be really funny to play some audio clips from south park.

#492https://loodio.com - A smart device for bathroom privacy I built it for myself because I just hate not having privacy living with my girlfriend. Then some other people enjoyed it and I made it into a product that is launching on Kickstarter soon.
I got a motion sensor that plays audio files on Amazon and put a waterfall type noise on loop. Only had to charge it every couple months. I think it was like $50. I hate random music in my life but maybe more people would prefer a variety of music

And honestly I don’t care if it takes off or not. I urgently need it. However it would be nice to get back those 50k I’ve spent on the development process but in either case I learned a lot.
Curious if there’s some way I can contact you regarding questions about getting a hw startup off the ground. I have an idea for a small household electronic which would be similar in size and (probably) complexity to yours.

#495I am developing https://vocab-boost.online/ (smoke test page, extension is being reviewed in webstore). It is a Chrome extension to make language tests out of any page. I used this approach to improve my vocabular to pass German C1 exam.

#496Terrain2STL - http://jthatch.com/Terrain2STL/ Creates 3D-printable elevation maps of Earth's surface. I originally made it because I couldn't find a tool to make a particular 3D model I wanted, and then decided to open source it. However, to use the code you need to download ~80 GB of elevation data, which I thought would be a stumbling block for a lot of other hobbyists, so I put together a little web interface and…

What data are you using for the DEM?

Not by flight number. Each room has the airline and depart/destination airport as their key. A chatroom per airport would be an easy change, but would be a bit of a departure from what I intended the app to do. For example, the difference in customer service standards between British Airways flights across long haul and short haul products is huge. Almost night and day by my amateur reckoning. I want to draw this kin…
I think you'd be better off trying to get a general flight chat off the ground first, before you worry about grouping people into individual chats per flight. Hard enough to bootstrap that, but if you did, I would recommend adding tags for Flight Numbers, Airlines, and Airport Codes, and attach those tags to the messages in the chat (as badges next above the message). Ask the user what their next upcoming flight deta…
