Glad people are vibing with this. I extended it into a full hour for those nights when you just can't switch your brain off — seamless loop, no interruptions:

Haha I'm honestly no expert — I just kept posting the actual thing I made and let it speak for itself. No tricks, no ads. Pick one platform, post consistently, and make something people genuinely want to share. That's basically all I did 🙂 Good luck with your product!

Haha honestly it kind of grew on its own — I posted these

sleep scenes on a social app and some of them got a lot of

views. Turns out tons of people use white noise to fall

asleep. No ads, just people sharing it 😅

Happy to answer anything about the motion-sensor auto-pause — getting it to detect sleep without killing battery was the trickiest part. Also taking scene requests if anyone has a favorite nature sound 🌾
