I watched the Internet being born and grow. It felt like a promise: connecting people and helping each other by putting what we know within everyone’s reach. I learned an enormous amount from it then, and I still do every day. It remains almost unreal how many high-quality resources are only a few keywords away.
At the same time, it is hard not to feel a sense of loss. Over the years, greed has changed the tone of the web and damaged parts of what made it special. That makes me sad—and, at times, angry at a few big corporations that saw the Internet’s potential and chose extraction over service.
But I do not give up on the original idea. Good resources do not arise spontaneously, and are the result of passionate and knowledgeable people, giving a lot of their free time to the community. I try to build the kind of Internet I want to exist: useful, respectful and made in good faith, even if it feels a little naive sometimes.
Welcome to my utopia.
BidWix · The fast, fair way to agree on a price.
BidWix is a small negotiation tool I built to solve a familiar problem: agreeing on a price when there is no obvious “right” number, and when going back and forth feels slow, awkward, or unfair. Instead of haggling, both parties each enter a single private limit price—one maximum for the buyer, one minimum for the seller. If there is overlap, BidWix suggests a fair price based on the geometric mean, which tends to balance concessions in proportional terms rather than just splitting the difference. If there is no overlap, it simply shows that there is no deal, without wasting time or creating pressure. BidWix does not handle payments, contracts, or delivery. It stops at the price suggestion, so the deal remains fully yours. The tool is lightweight by design: no account is required, email is optional, and it collects as little data as possible. It works best when the price is hard to anchor—creative work, licensing, small services—and both sides want to skip the bargaining and go straight to a fair deal.
AudioCheck · Internet's largest collection of Online Sound Tests
AudioCheck started in 2007. Over the years, it has become a treasure trove of information for audio enthusiasts. As today, AudioCheck.net offers the largest collection of online sound tests and audio test tones on the Internet. Each page is designed to be concise, easy to read, simple to understand, yet always scientifically correct. This particular combination makes AudioCheck appealing for both novices and experts: the former are using AudioCheck pages to grasp a better understanding of audio principles, the latter are bookmarking our site as one of the best repositories of sound test-related audio files available online. Each month the site receives around 150,000 unique visitors.
myNoise · Custom Soundscapes to Focus, Relax & Sleep
myNoise started in 2013 as an audio platform I built to help you shape your own sound environment. Back then, the web could barely play continuous audio without glitches, and myNoise pushed what a browser could do. It offers a large library of interactive sound generators—nature ambiences, soothing drones, and gentle music textures—that you can fine-tune with simple sliders to match what you need: focus, sleep, relaxation, or masking distractions. Instead of forcing one “perfect” track, myNoise lets you mix, balance, and save presets until it feels right for your ears and your moment. It is used by more than 15,000 people every day and is funded directly by its community, which keeps the project calm, practical, and free from attention-driven design.
wavTones · The professional Online Test Tone Generator
wavTones started in 2012 as a web-based audio test-signal platform built for serious audio and acoustics work. It provides a high-end frequency signal generator that can produce application-specific test tones (sine, square, sweeps, and noise) with careful control over parameters and an emphasis on clean, reliable output. Instead of relying only on in-browser playback, wavTones generates and downloading WAV files, which makes it practical for calibration, measurement, frequency-response checks, and equipment testing. It is used by audio engineers around the world as a convenient alternative to software or hardware tone generators.
myHearingTest · Online Hearing Test and Audiogram Printout
myHearingTest.net started in 2013 and quickly became a widely used, independent way to get a first, practical picture of your hearing online. What made it stand out was a simple but clever calibration trick, designed to avoid the usual problem: results that mostly reflect your laptop, headphones, and volume setting—not your hearing. For many people, that meant results close to what you might get in an ENT office: an estimated hearing curve within about ±10 dB HL. At some point, I was misled into believing the site was being acquired by a company selling hearing aids, but the real outcome was that it was taken offline. I decided not to let the work disappear: hearingtest.online is the revival of that project. It runs entirely in your browser, helps you estimate hearing thresholds across frequencies, and produces a clear result you can keep for reference over time.
The White Noise Playlist · Uninterrupted Noises
The White Noise Playlist started in 2024, originated from an observation: white noise playlists offered by streaming platforms, are often made up by brief and disjointed audio tracks. This strategy maximizes plays and revenue for their publishers, resulting in a less than ideal auditory experience for you, the user. The White Noise Playlist does things differently. By offering extended, uninterrupted noises, it ensures that you can you can focus on what you're doing without any interruptions.
Calmy Leon · The Most Relaxing Music Generator
CalmyLeon.com started in 2016. Like the colors of a chameleon, the sounds you hear on Calmy Leon slowly change over time, and are ideal to calm down or meditate.
Purrli · Internet adopted a cat!
Purrli started in 2017 and tries to recreate both the sound and the presence of your very own virtual cat through a custom sound engine modelled after real purrs. In its first month of presence, the site served 500k visitors. The Internet loves cats, indeed!
Brainaural · Brainwave Entrainement
Brainaural started in 2017. It’s a sonic brain-hacking tool, capable of producing the widest range of brainwave modulations you’ll find on the Internet right now. Not really something I personally endorse, but I made it just to get people to stop asking me for it—haha.
Rain Today · Natural Rain Noise Generator
Rain.today started in 2015, and offers one of the most realistic rain noise sound engine, available on the internet. Because so many people love the sound of the rain...
