github-audio's Issues

No sound in Linux app on Ubuntu 16.04

Browser version works fine, but there is no sound in the desktop app. No errors in the console, just no sound. Works fine in FF 57.

Pause button?

Would be nice to have a simple on/off or pause button that stops the audio AND stops the animations. Right now, if you turn the volume all the way down, the animations still happen. Would be nice to turn off animations too.

A volume slider would be nice

Wikipedia sounds better

Sorry, but Wikipedia sounds much better. I am not sure what the reasons are, but there may be some more events, the sounds are more different and there are some low-pitched sounds...

GitHub currently sounds only as if some glasses would be clinking whereas Wikipedia e.g. also has some guitar sounds.

Realistic sounds of instruments

Add prerendered instruments from WebAudioFont.
This is big library of sounds. See example
https://surikov.github.io/webaudiofont/examples/dynamic.html

Relative volumes

It may well be a "perceptual" issue rather than a "physical" issue, or a bug, but to me it sounds like the volume slider easily affects all the sounds (plucks and swells) but not the bells. The bells remain relatively very prominent even if you move the slider almost to zero.
Can anyone else confirm this? I tried both in browser (Chrome latests beta) and in the mac wrapper app.
can we have more control over what sound goes for what event?

Sounds for gist

One should not forget gist...

String pluck (clav) sound never played

The Issue related events are animated but I think the wrong sound is played. At least it is not consistent with the description on the website. Celest is always played for both push and issue event. This means that the clav sounds are never played. Just an observation 😄

Implement auto-close timer

I have used github.audio to fall sleep, a lot of times. It would help to have a Sleep timer, which would automatically mute the sounds after x hours.

502 Bad Gateway on Demo

Visiting https://github.audio/ (Chrome Version 64.0.3282.186 (Official Build) (64-bit) on Linux) results in a Bad Gateway.

nice!

I like the sound.
It is a soothing sound.
Thank you!

Sleep Timer

A few friends of mine (me included), think that due to the calming nature of the sounds produced, it would be a great tool to use for meditation and sleeping.
Because of it being a great tool for sleep and relaxation, a sleep timer may be a good implementation. For example, an available option to the user to enable a sleep timer, which, after a set or variable number of minutes, it mutes the output of the GitHub Audio page.

Sounds for repo/organisation creation/deletion/rename

I think the title is self-explanatory. 😃

Stops playing in background in Safari

After some amount of time in the background, in a different tab specifically, swells stop playing and eventually everything stops. Occasionally sounds will play but it seems random.

Domain not accessible anymore

Its been a while https://github.audio/ is down. 502 Bad Gateway.

Where did you get the music files?

May I ask how did you get all those music files in the sounds folder? Did you play and record them yourself or are they downloaded from some free sources?

Thanks!

sound for a star

Yeah!.. Add some sound for a "star".

SocketIO connection refused

Once the node serve is running and hit the http://localhost:8000
http://localhost/socket.io/?EIO=3&transport=polling&t=LUVnoRW
Connection Refused - i.e ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
I'm i missing anything??

How does the sound loading work?

Looking at the code from the main.js file:
`
// Load sounds
for (var i = 1; i <= 24; i++) {
if (i > 9) {
fn = 'c0' + i;
} else {
fn = 'c00' + i;
}
celesta.push(new Howl({
src : ['https://d1fz9d31zqor6x.cloudfront.net/sounds/celesta/' + fn + '.ogg',
'https://d1fz9d31zqor6x.cloudfront.net/sounds/celesta/' + fn + '.mp3'],
volume : 0.7,
onload : sound_load(),
buffer: true,
}))
clav.push(new Howl({
src : ['https://d1fz9d31zqor6x.cloudfront.net/sounds/clav/' + fn + '.ogg',
'https://d1fz9d31zqor6x.cloudfront.net/sounds/clav/' + fn + '.mp3'],
volume : 0.4,
onload : sound_load(),
buffer: true,
}))
}

for (var i = 1; i <= 3; i++) {
swells.push(new Howl({
src : ['https://d1fz9d31zqor6x.cloudfront.net/sounds/swells/swell' + i + '.ogg',
'https://d1fz9d31zqor6x.cloudfront.net/sounds/swells/swell' + i + '.mp3'],
volume : 1,
onload : sound_load(),
buffer: true,
}));
}

Howler.volume(volume);
`
It looks like the sounds are remotely hosted, but the sounds folder is populated with ogg files. Are those fallbacks, and can I replace them to change the sound output?

No horizontal scroll-bar

Add this to your CSS:
html, body { /* You've this class at line 52 */
overflow-x: hidden;
}

This will disable horizontal scroll to your page :)

Heroku app seems down

Seems the website is unresponsive or the app crashed?

Remote streaming

After listening for a while, i feel like it would be awesome if i was able to connect this with my sonos or other speaker systems. Or at least have a naitive app so the audio doesn't stop whenever i quit mobile safari

URL for org wise filter

Currently if anyone has to see the activities of Org xyz, they open the webpage and manually write it and press enter.

There can be a shareable URL which would do that. e.g. github.audio/xyz would automatically filter events for xyz org.

Expose the framework behind UI viz and music

github.audio uses events to generate UI bubbles and sounds. The events in this case are coming from GitHub. But there are several use cases where the events could come from a different system and folks might want a similar website to be up and running.

A finance company might want to hear the sounds of transactions.
Twitter might want to hear the sounds of activities on Twitter.

The framework behind this should be reusable and separated out from github.audio project :)

Add link to to the url

Can you please add a link to the repository that is generating the music? It would be much more simpler to go to that repo if we see something interesting.

can't hear comments?

Not sure if this is a feature or a bug, but you can't hear comments on the player :'(

won't work in safari...

tried listening in safari 9.1.3 on a mid-2011 iMac (OS X El Capitan 10.11.6) and it came up with this:

disabled all extensions, still the same result. any ideas?

Viewport and media query issues on safari webView

Site looks off on safari mobile. Probably don't need this information and a quick fix might eliminate this issue.

Host with Static Pages or Heroku

It is sad that the hosted version of GitHub Audio does not exist anymore. It is economically not possible to host it on a paid server due to the costs.

These are alternate options :

• Host using Static pages. Since, all of it is written in Javascript, https://github.audio can be a static website.
  • Check out Netlify which is a better alternative to GitHub pages. It also allows setting environment variables which will be required to store GitHub tokens.
• Host the app on Heroku. Heroku offers free hosting for a limited number of hours per month. A Heroku instance will be very helpful for a quick look prototype of the project.

Website Certificate has expired

Just like the title says, your certificate has expired.

Add filter option

Being able to filter by a particular repo or organization would be cool. That way companies could host this on a TV in their offices 👍 and use it as a calm way to know there are updates

notify/different sound for actions you tigger?

i thought that since i listen to this while coding, it would be nice to have a different sound if one of your pull requests or whatever gets its own 2 seconds of fame...

Edit: maybe the app could allow you to sign in with your GitHub account and automatically add any actions you trigger to the action queue

Ignore this

Is this 100% of traffic event of public github?

Hey,

I was wondering, is the audio we're listening is 100% of Github public repositorie's event or do you filter out a % of the traffic event? (if that's the case, how much % is actually displayed/sounded on your project ?)

More sounds for issues

It seems you do not yet make sounds for closing/opening issues. Also commenting on issues might be a soundful event. 😉
The same applies to adding emoticons to comments/issues.
