Show HN: Pulse – Livestream audio with 1-click

[473999]

Hi HN. I needed something to feel closer to someone who lives VERY far from me, and since we both like music and share with each other all time.. I thought of creating a way to effortlessly livestream what we are listening to, with sound-reactive visualizations (more to come) and a fun chat.

The idea is that as you go on with building or with your wfh job (hopefully as little calls as possible)... you are effectively tuned in the other person's selection instead of your own same old Liked Songs... or what some algo thinks you'll like (or wants you to like).

Current features * You can host your own room and stream audio (currently browser tab, adding BUTT upload later, maybe) * Change website color / animation / animation style * Chat with gifs (add any by dropping a 7tv.app link)

My friend and I built this with Cursor ("vibe" isn't the adjective I'd use for the experience... but I guess it got the job done faster than if we didn't use it).

Any feedback or tips to make it better appreciated!!

Testing right now, seems to be working okay. Clients report that they are missing a single button mute. Yes, they do have volume control, but that requires several clicks and drags in order to quickly mute and unmute (when phone rings, for example). So a dedicated mute-unmute button would be appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you! We'll add that pressing the volume button will trigger mute/unmute (as opposed to just showing the slider)

As you indicated, have not had success using Firefox.

Maybe make it possible to optionally share a stand-alone mediaplayer window rather than a browser or an entire screen.

The room "maddie'sroooom" has been deleted by the host or you lost connection.

We needed to deploy some bug fixes, thank you for your patience! (perhaps posted here too early). Hope you'll come back to our rooms, that was a nice one

Ive been listening for the last 10 minutes and I think your tool does its intended job quite well
