I also worked for 8 months on a music discovery webapp called Noiseblend that uses Spotify. We were never accepted for their commercial program and were not allowed to ask for money on the website. Source: about 1 year ago

My most ambitious web project was https://noiseblend.com which is a web app for discovering music on Spotify. It’s a next.js + React slow and memory hungry mess [1] which could have been static HTML with some JS for the dynamic bits. Experience taught me to keep it simple nowadays, but I had to go through the Noiseblend mistakes first. The stack is Python with Sanic for the backend, Postgres for db and Redis for... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

I’m serving everything from the Spotify API directly on Noiseblend (https://noiseblend.com) and rate limit has never been a problem. When a request fails because of a rate limit, Spotify responds with 429 and a Retry-After header so you know when to schedule the next request. In my tests, that header never had a value greater than 10 seconds, and 429 responses were very rare. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

I've been using this site ever since I discovered it! I'm glad to see it featured on HN. I started learning to play the Romanian Kaval [1] last summer and Songdata helped me enormously in finding good backing tracks to improvise on.

I cannot speak higher of https://mynoise.net/ It is so amazing for pink noise and all the other noises. I basically always have a tab with this up. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

I use https://mynoise.net/ or sometimes a podcast, usually something like https://fallofcivilizationspodcast.com/ (lol). Source: 6 months ago

I use http://mynoise.net - there's a phone app too. Source: 7 months ago

For more routine work that isn't as deep but is still cognitively demanding, I usually stay at my desk and put on a post-rock playlist and https://mynoise.net/ on top of it (I like Irish coast), so loud that any other noise gets blocked out. I put a sign up saying not to disturb me. Source: 7 months ago

Spotify needs to license https://mynoise.net and include their dozens of soundscapes into the Spotify client. The captured audio soundscapes are high quality, engineered, mixable audio from many relaxing and peaceful natural and artificial environments. Tossing a few million dollars towards the MyNoise people for something that's currently donor-ware would be amazing for the creators as well as opening up the... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago
