Nice work Marek! Neil from raining.fm here, I did a quick mashup after work tonight, check it out here http://raining.fm/raindrops


Hi guys, Thanks for the look in, I have been working on this over the Christmas break and would love to hear any feedback you have. We are basically in a soft launch phase so definitely take any advice on board.

HN is always good to me so in return if anyone actually needs a signature/s please use this coupon

code "RESCUEHN"

(all caps no space) and you will get 25% off your plan for LIFE, I'll leave the code valid for a few days for the stragglers ;)

Cheers - Neil


Hi Neil from raining.fm angry dev ftw!


Cheers Neil! Really love raining.fm - was the inspiration for this :)


No worries at all mate, thanks for the props! We have rewritten a new version with some cool new requested functionality, just bug testing atm, planning to push live in few days ;) stay rainy and code on!


Awesome! looking forward to checking out the new version :)


Just FYI, your raining.fm page works fine on my mobile if I trick the site into thinking I'm a desktop (HTC myTouch running android 2.3.3)


Hi windsurfer, thanks for the heads up, we have found it works on some android devices but not others (it seems to like chrome browser on droid) . We didn't want to offer a crappy broken version to the masses, so we are working on native app versions for both IOS and Android, stay tuned :)

P.s. new desktop version will go live by this weekend :)


Angry dev is definitely my favorite. It sounds like some of my late nights.


It's missing some angry muttering!


@intellegacy yes that is what we intend to do, have different rain types :)


@exogen I am thinking of perhaps categorising the images, so the user can view categories or shuffle all, eg, nature, architecture, people etc also adding pause so you can sit on your favourite slide.


@primigenus I will look into that, thank you!

@ChrisNorstrom, Thanks for the advice Chris, we will definitely need to refine some things now that people have shown an interest.


@damncabbage, that is no good, can you tell me what browser and OS you are using mate? see if we can't get that sorted for you :)


Chrome 21, Ubuntu Linux (11.10).

(I don't mean to send you on a wild goose chase. Sorry about that.)


@josscrowcroft, I am definitely keen on developing the app to deliver the best rain experience possible for people :)
