Premium Nature & Meditation Music Web App (my first solo project)

Hacker News

>>>>> TimeForZen.com <<<<< This took months to put together. Learning javascript, using the sound manager 2 api. Finding the perfect creative commons photos on flickr. It's such a ridiculously simple site (just a curated list of music) but I went through hell debugging and getting it to work. I learned an extreme amount. My advice to designers who can't code, keep it simple, just get it done don't worry about optimization, don't worry about a backend. Code everything manually if you have to. I've kept it simple out of necessity. I'm a designer, not a coder. I do front end html and css at most, so learning JavaScript was a big deal for me. Yes there's a million little things that can be added (like playlists, forums+comments, time tracker, accounts, etc... But I kept it simple so I could actually finish it. The javascript is probably 4x the size it should be because I (lol) did things the long & sure way rather than the optimized way, but hey. It's works. - I threw up a logo and the icons used in the session window. I'm not too crazy with the logo but it's alright. The icons bother me a LOT. They look unprofessional and need more work. - There's a glitch I'm still working on. The sound LOOPS over and over for tracks that are NOT suppose to have looped sound. - Works on Android and iPhones (glitch with absolute positioning and dom windows but sound will play). - Can anyone test this on an iPad? I tried to do it at BestBuy but they never have wireless internet set up.
