The fireworks and sound were extremely annoying. I'm not used to web pages making noise on my iPhone and was unprepared for it.

Sorry, it was meant to be a bit of fun and I wasn't expecting it to get on HN front page (developer).

How dare you have fun on your website. Hacker News users are super serious, busy, important startup people. You've just disrupted my zen flow for my super productive day.

You should read my new blog post and buy it as an ebook (DRM free!) titled "Seven Effective Secrets You Didn't Know About To Not Let Things Disrupt Your Zen Flow For Your Super Productive Day (And Five You'd Forgotten!)". It's even got a forward by someone who had read a Wikipedia article about Alan Kay!

It's available on my website (shameless plug) at www.bltzrg-app.me

My start-up already pivoted into the personal productivity blog posting space, so you are out of luck.

You will be getting a letter from our lawyers shortly. Our stealth startup has been quietly developing a product for the personal productivity blog post space for the last 2 years. Some of the guys who invested in Facebook invested in us at a $999,999 valuation. We've yet to make a profit, but I'm sure we will one day! Did I mention it's also a responsive desktop/mobile hybrid app built using Meteor, Haskell and the Go programming language?

You are out of luck. Now if you'll excuse me I've got some Ruby on Rails code to write and a blog post hating on PHP and applauding Node.JS and NoSQL.

FYI, you will convert 37% better if you change your call-to-action wording to "You should visit my website at www.bltrg-app.me".

You forgot to mention "cognitive context switching."

Nobody is, that's why it's usually pissing everyone. A "Party" button might have done a better job.

The animation is fine, but add a pre-selected mute button for the audio, and a stop button for the animation.

Some kind of fuse or something to show what was about to happen with a 'stop' button might have been better. I don't think anyone would click a 'party' button.

1998 called, they want their everything back.

Because nobody opens tabs in the background.

May I suggest a bookmarklet I created called PARTYMODE?
