This is beautiful on many levels. It's nice from an artistic standpoint, but I really find it awe-inspiring to see just how many edits are made all day every day, and the range of topics they are related to. Nice job, OP!

Exactly. It's crazy to presence the amount of work that's being put onto a single project. Truly inspiring.

This is a wonderful project. Great concept, brilliant execution.

Add more languages to provide a frantic feeling, drop to only timezones where it's the middle of the night for soothing chimes. The strings that play whenever a new user registers is particularly lovely.

The new user sound seems to clip badly on my system.

Reminds me of a less utilitarian version of Choir.io: https://choir.io/player/beachmonks/github.

I love unique ideas like this. There are so many possibilities.

Transposing real-time data flow to music and visuals is a very exciting new medium for artists. (Or, it will be, someday.)

Like all good mediums (media?), it can be used to connect people thru a shared experience.

For example, imagine if you liked Bob Dylan, and any time a Dylan song played anywhere in the world, you saw it, felt it, heard it, at that exact instant. With maybe a city and a facebook picture attached.

Awesome! Very good background music for gaming.

A pause button would be useful.

The pause button for a live stream is the one that says "mute". ;-)

That's awesome. Reminds me of the one made for the bitcoin blockchain.

This is the coolest thing I -saw- heard today. Very nice.
