I made a lofi page for late night work

Hey everyone

I usually listen to lo-fi while working or coding, so I made a small side project to collect the kind of lo-fi music I actually use.

It’s free to listen to, built with free music, and I coded it using React.

Nothing fancy — just something simple for focus and background vibes.

If anyone’s interested:

Would love any feedback

Meanwhile I fire up either Garou with 25% scanlines or some Amiga emulator with Lotus III and a TV filter and it will look far better than these pseudo pixel arts.

Lotus III was pixelated but still looked good at low resolutions.

I've recently got into a medieval tavern / bard music. It's quite nice to work with it playing in the background. I saw a youtuber making a game on live stream and he had it playing in the background and it caught my attention and It's working well.
Looks like all the song URLs are on Dropbox and temporarily disabled, no music plays for me FYI
This is actually my first time hearing the term “lo-fi”, but I really like how simple and clean the site is. It works great as background music while working
This is great, love the background and visual.

// Hi Khoa, glad to see you here!

Nice :) I would like the video to loop perfectly. I can notice the loop by her strand of hair.
Can't play from the phone?
Hey

cool thing. Thanks for showing. How many songs are there? Are they generated ?

If there are actual tracks on the playlist it would be nice to see the song titles. Judging from the few I listened to they were AI slop so I guess that wouldn't matter. Maybe I got unlucky, but the AI backgrounds definitely don't inspire confidence either (a slideshow of free images with a creative commons license or something would be much better).
fantastic, I want to listen it.
