@zorzini Congrats on your launch day! Wishing you great success and new opportunities. What challenges did you overcome to get here?

@zorzini Congratulations. I really like the UI and the overall UX. Is there a recount on how you built the audio library? I am curious of the team and efforts that went behind that!

@zorzini Earth.fm's commitment to providing high-quality nature soundscapes for relaxation, meditation, and environmental awareness is a beautiful initiative. The launch of the mobile app makes experiencing these soundscapes even more accessible. Here are some questions for further exploration: - Can users download soundscapes for offline listening? - Are there plans to include additional features like soundscape mixing or guided meditations? - How does Earth.fm ensure the sustainability of their field recording practices and minimize their environmental footprint? As a developer with experience in mobile apps and environmental causes, I'm interested in how Earth.fm works. Here are some potential areas for collaboration: - Implementing features for offline listening to improve user experience and accessibility. - Developing tools for users to contribute their own nature recordings to the platform (with proper quality control). - Exploring ways to integrate educational elements about the natural world and environmental conservation into the app. I'd love to learn more about Earth.fm's technical architecture and explore opportunities to contribute to its development and mission. Additionally, I'm excited to try out the Earth.fm app and experience the calming power of nature's soundscapes.

@aris_nakos Hi Aris, thank you for the kind words! In terms of the library, we are already working with almost 200 field recordists from around the world, and actively reaching out to more artists every week, while also receiving direct submissions from the community.

Cool! After a busy day of work, I really need the sounds of nature to relieve stress. It's rare to see such a well-crafted app that's not related to AI. I love it! Congrats on the launch!

Hi Catalin, congratulations on the launch! The app sounds like a fantastic way to bring nature closer to our daily lives. How did you decide on the specific locations for the soundmap?

@alex_dulub Thank you Alex! We're working directly with the artists, so they share with us their latest recordings from around the globe, then we can select and choose in a way that helps our map get more and more points on it :)

Amazing I always love nature sounds. but I am curious to ask can we use this nature sounds for our use like on our site, in our videos or only listen to it?

@muhammad_salman39 Dear Muhammad, thank you for dropping in! The artists in our community put hundreds of hours of work into this and we are respecting them by not licensing the soundscapes for external use. You can enjoy them only in the Earth.fm app and website. Hope that help
Kyrylo Silin
Hey Catalin, How do you select and verify the quality of the soundscapes featured on the platform? Congrats on the launch!

@kyrylosilin Thank you Kyrylo! Great question, this is our nr1 focus: to keep the quality bar extremely high, so we are manually curating and checking each recording and actively working with the 200+ artists in the community to make sure we're all on the same page regarding quality.

I see you’ve got 900+ natural soundscapes now, but I’m kinda wondering, do we really need so many, feels overwhelming and a bit useless to have too many options all at once, should focus be more on quality over quantity, like will we ever get personalized suggestions, hard to keep track of what I like, any ideas on improving that

@atostechcmo Ha, we are indeed focusing on quality over quantity, otherwise we would have 90,000 soundscapes :)

Sounds amazing. The meticulously curated library of high-quality natural soundscapes, combined with the interactive soundmap, offers a unique way to explore the world’s diverse environments through sound. This isn’t just an app; it’s a movement that encourages mindfulness, relaxation, and a deeper appreciation for our planet. All the best for the launch!

This app is a breath of fresh air, literally! The ability to explore and listen to high-quality nature sounds from around the world is just amazing. Congratulations on the launch, @zorzini! I’m curious, are there any plans to add a social feature where users can share their favorite soundscapes or create a community around it?
Catalin Zorzini
Maker
@renchu_song Many thanks Richard for the kind words. Indeed, we are actively building a community of people who appreciate nature and soundscapes, and users can share their faves via the website at the moment. The sharing feature from the app is next in line on our roadmap, after the offline listening feature :)
