I feel like its really trendy to bash note taking apps nowadays. I get it, theyre a dime a dozen and yeah spending hours on hours configuring multiple of them is probably a waste of time. But why not take advantage of some of the nice softw

For dance music, as a DJ, I find the best way is to find an artist through their song being played in a set I listen to, then check that artist's label for more. I can then buy / follow on Bandcamp to be alerted of new releases.

Yeah you are right. Thanks for the heads up. I'll see what I can do to update it

yeah that's cool, thanks. What's your stream?

The fact that you'd consider making that switch is just awesome to me, so thanks! :) For resources, theres a great site here as an intro to generative systems - https://teropa.info/loop/ And for communities, I hav

That's a cool idea. Something that was suggested to me with Flowful was to use some sort of body triggers, perhaps from facial recgonition through your device's camera, to determine when the user was becoming less focused. The mus

Yeah that's not a bad way of putting it. Each musical part will use the samples in a different way each time though, with some randomness added, so it hopefully stops things from being too recognisable.

uhh, right now.. it's not the most user friendly. You can delete the fields that the site places in your localStorage (can be done by clearing your cache for this site). The selections from the question just decide a) what's in yo

Sure thing. Further down in another comment I went into how the music is made, so I'll stick to the tech stack here. The frontend is built with React, Chakra UI and Tailwind CSS. It also does all of the audio generation using a schedul

Yeah I have heard this before actually. The next few tracks that I make will be in a Major key, which should help!

You all made good points - I've removed the redirect. You should now be able to go back to the homepage. I was modelling it after Notion's homepage, where you just want to go back to your workspace when you go to notion.so, not th

What problem does this solve: Poor playlists / context switching when you get given something distracting in an ambient music recommendation algorithm. Also, hopefully, it's just nice music to listen to. You are listening to the m

Ah okay - was it just when playing a track? Can't seem to reproduce. And yeah, the CSS is quite messy. Planning on code cleanup later on. For reference, it's a mix'n'match between Chakra UI and Tailwind CSS.

I own the copyright. Would prefer if you attribute, but don't mind you using it.

Can't seem to find why. Do you mind DMing me your email so I can take a look at the account that was made? You can email contact@flowful.app.

Yeah, this is something I am still struggling with. The gain normalization is super manual currently, so I want to try and programmatically even them out between tracks. Sorry about that!

I just updated the FAQ ( https://flowful.app/faq ) but will post here also: I record a bunch of samples from VSTs I have. Once I have the samples I upload them to a server, which you request when you load up a song. In your b

I figured people wouldn't want to keep navigating the landing page after they had already seen it once. This way you can just head straight back into the app. An incognito tab will let you see it again though.

Each track is it's own JS file! With a folder of corresponding samples, which the JS file pieces together as I mentioned before. There's no MIDI, it's all done with the Tone.js scheduler. :)

You might be right. It's based off a polyryhthmic style I found on Youtube. Perhaps I should just call them 'Polyrhythms' - I don't intend to make any medical claims.
23.
by printscreen 4y ago
Yeah sure - you're right, it's using a lib built on top of the Web Audio API called Tone Js. This handles scheduling and some instruments, but the sounds themselves are mostly samples which I record myself from VSTs, then do thing

It can help to just steer well clear from anywhere distractions can be found. For example, install a blocking extention like Intention to forcibly remove yourself from being able to even browse youtube during focus hours. Or get your music

I also like to think of the individual tasks that you are trying to do as muscles that can be trained aswell. i.e. shipping is a muscle. Not super related to focus but can help with setting incremental goals
