- Allow enter/leave Driver mode even while sound is playing - Hide the "tab to minimize" after several seconds - Allow customize the pattern. Now it's hard coded perlin noise animation, before it was blank screen white/black without texture. - Cannot enter email address to unlock private beta while sound is active (chars getting deleting while typing). - Loses Focus rapidly on multi monitor setup, even when not touching the browser. It seems it's sensitive to focus/unfocus events, not sure what's the exact cause. PS: Regular full screen videos form for example youtube never lose fullscreen with my browser. - Fullscreen does not full whole screen, there's black border left and right, it seems you're animating a square, not the full landscape rectangle. - The jump from gain 1 to gain 2 is quite big, so i have to reduce the volume on the system sound, that's quiet annoying, since it's for all browser tabs then / even the whole system, depending on mixer settings.
And several more bugs, i do not remember them all.
One important question, that comes in mind all the time: Is this project vibe coded? Don't get me wrong, i also startet to begin vibe coding my projects, but it seems there's a little mess in the code (without looking into the obfuscated code).
Fixes Deployed: Ghost Typing: You were spot on. I was defining the modal inside the main render loop. Moved it out, so the input is stable now.
Audio Focus: Removed the visibilitychange listener. It should now persist on multi-monitor setups without cutting out.
Texture Toggle: Added a specific button to toggle between "Neural Grain" (noise) and "Pure Light" (solid strobe) so you can customize the pattern.
Volume Taper: Switched the gain slider to logarithmic scaling so the jump from 0-10% isn't deafening.
UI Clutter: The "Tap to Minimize" overlay now fades out automatically after 3 seconds.
On Vibe Coding... guilty as charged.
This project evolved rapidly from a hacky passion project to help myself focus, into an attempt to build something worth sharing with others. I built the initial engine to prioritize the DSP/audio math, and the React architecture definitely suffered
Would love to know if the multi-monitor issue is resolved on your end now.
I mean, strobing light at specific hz will definitely have some effect on increased hz activity in your brain somewhat, and perhaps even relax me, but whether would that translate to "deep work" or just flshing light in my face would vary from person to person. And the gained benefits would be probably very dimnishing (like the whole "premium bineural beats" scams)
Plus the "unlock pro for targeted emotional regulation" souns veeeeery far fetched and fishy.
But if it gets popular i'm pretty sure some people would buy it (hell, people buy "good energy stones for good aura" to protect from reptilians or something)
