Backstory: My wife has ADHD and found this classic color-sorting game soothing, as it resembles organizing things. However, all versions of the game had numerous intrusive ads. So, I recreated the game, but instead of showing ads, it asks players to close their eyes for 10 seconds to level up or receive an auxiliary vial. She’s now on level 209 and is enjoying it. I thought I’d share it here in...

tl;dr: I made yet another background noise. It is helping me and people around me to concentrate better (tried with coding and reading books). Showing it here may be it is suitable for others too.

Good job! and thanks for sharing. As a software developer I really like the textual music notation as I can version control them (Yes, musicXML exists but that is overcomplicated for me most of the time). But as a composer I can never work with these online textual editors. Mostly because my hands are accustomed to shortcuts that the big music editors offer (Sibelius and Finale for example). The thing is what these online music editors offer are really close to what composers like me want, but not there yet. I mean just adding shortcuts and translating them to ABC will turn this to a completely useful software for me as I really don't need other options of those software. Just as an example: 1.numbers change note length 2.abcdefg change notes 3.left right cursor to move like normal 4.up down cursor change note ... there are not a lot of them but having them makes the difference for me. http://www.sibelius.com/helpcenter/hintsandtips/G7Hints&Tips...

This is great. I had this problem of running Tensorflow from ssh and sometimes you just want to take a quick look at the plots without Tensorboard setup and whatnot. Thanks!

True, in Iran everybody buy their fruits and vegetables from designated stores that only sell those. you can have even bring your own container to consume zero plastic. in Denmark it is not even an option. Day to day groceries are bought in supermarkets with insane amount of plastic wraps.
