3 years ago I did a Show HN [1] for http://asoftmurmur.com - it got 3 points, 0 comments
2.5 years ago I posted it again with some more features [2], got 190 points and 80 comments, and some positive feedback. Was encouraged to keep up development.
Since then:
* > 5 million sessions
* A native Android version written in Java with > 100k installs
* Native iOS version in the works
* I now work full time as a software developer
It's a small, simple application - almost a toy - and there are now lots of similar services, but it has genuinely changed my life.

This is awesome!! I'd resorted simplynoise in two tabs to combine brown noise with rain/thunder. Any chance of adding brown noise down the road? I find white noise a bit harsh to listen to for long periods, but the constant noise component is a must for masking people talking nearby. I love your other sounds! Rain & thunder works, but I've had too much and want some variety, this is great!
That's great to hear :) But just FYI, as a keyboard-only, screen reader user, I couldn't manage to get any sounds going in Firefox which is unfortunate. Not sure about the accessibility of your Android app as I don't have a device on hand to test with.
This looks great!
