I've spent several hours building websites, and the energy source I depend on (except food, etc.) is MUSIC!
What do you usually listen to when building your product?
Fun question (If you have launched):
What were you listening to after launching your product?

Any version of jazz. And sometimes blues, although not as often. Lately, I've been mostly listening to a lot of New Orleans jazz.
@jakecrump Beautiful, I do that too quite often, its calm and well played music. Thanks! Do you listen on Spotify, YouTube or Apple music?
@jakecrump @eliaxvibrant Great, jazz listeners. I've just started listening to jazz after listening to only rock for more than 5 years. It's definitely more calming. Listen to it on Apple Music

Jazz or Lo-fi, anything that kind of keeps me chill while I encounter errors π
@aaronoleary Are there some great jazz tracks or playlists you listen to?

@abhishek1846 I have my own playlist but I listen to a lot of Buddy Rich and Miles Davis these days!
@aaronoleary Hahah, nice one! Yeah, I can live on Lo-fi and jazz
Iβm usually listening to binaural beats not music. They help keep me focused. But if I am listening to music it canβt have lyrics cause they distract me so Iβm listening to EDM or classical.
@cat_hicks It's easy to be distracted by lyrics if you are writing / reading. I felt like your comment was a good advice!ππ

I'm a big fan of listening to movie soundtracks while I work. It makes everything feel more epic. Video game albums are also fun. As long as there aren't words, it will usually work for me.

This Zelda lo-fi album is particularly good https://open.spotify.com/album/3...
@product_at_producthunt Thanks for the playlist, Michael! I really like it! Yeah movie soundtracks are excellent when working, but it can be too dramaticπ
Soundescape
Probably a bit biased, but I use soundescape.io + Spotify (e.g. pairing rain sounds with Hania Rani Piano feels like entering Zen garden)
@scriptify NICE! Haha, entering it for sureπ
100% lo-fi and Jazz on Saturday mornings.
@guillaumecleme That's awesome! And don't forget the coffee.
@eliaxvibrant more espresso, less depresso π
trap and instrumental rock for sure.
@arth_tyagi Oh yeah, for sure! Any certain rock group?
swings between low fi chill vibes soundscapes, and something with an upbeat constant pulse. sometimes k r&b for the grooves
@pixel_liszt Exactly, great choice!
Most of the time I listen to a lo-fi instrumental track on repeat >.<
@nisshtha_khattar Same hahaπ€£
I listen to a few epic movie soundtracks. Well, not a long playlist.
Because I build apps with www.mobiroller.com literally in minutes. π
@sefasarikaya Nice, yeah those soundtracks are good!
NVSTly: Social Investing
I usually listen to podcasts, sometimes talk radio lol
I listen to a piano playlist on Spotify! I can't have word or song's I otherwise like otherwise i end up singing along π
@amy_choi1 That's a tricky one! I listen to music without words when it comes to text.
dubstep
@jjwills91 Nice! That works when you really wants to add up energy!
Leave My Desk
Synthwave! π You can find 8 hours of good 80s inspired tracks here: https://open.spotify.com/playlis...
@kostarados Thanks for the playlist! I appreciate it, man!
Imagine Dragons, Eye of the tiger or classics like them to give some motivation.
Though before starting and to get in the zone, I use 40Hz Binaural beats [], as its scientifically proven to enhance focus.
@rahulasthana Nice songs, they give energy! Do you listen to the whole 30mins of 40Hz sound?
@eliaxvibrant Not entire 30 mins, but only for 10-15 mins.
@rahulasthana ππ
Further
Podcasts as well as lo-fi works great for me
@lara_tankal Love lo-fi, so nice!

Music is an underrated energy source, so totally resonate with that! I typically listen to music across the board and will go through phases. I'm currently deep into new hip-hop and indie pop! Funny enough, my cofounder and I have created a music newsletter that we plan on launching soon!
@sunlighter_media Wow, I am looking forward to the newsletter! Do you mind sharing it? I completely agree with your statement! Music is an underrated energy source!
Sunlighter
@eliaxvibrant Sure, we actually just launched today! https://www.producthunt.com/post...
When I code, I usually listen to 'Bass Boosted Car Music', there are lots of them on YouTube.
Or recently discovered the sub-genre called Phonk, I have created a remix based on what I found on YT and called it PowerMix.
classical piano :)
@jeff_sonny Nice! Whit lyrics or without?
