The video kept ending, so I built my own focus world 🌧️
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Alex — a solo developer who just joined the community.
For the past 6 months I've been quietly building DeepPane,
a Chrome extension that turns "I need to focus" into an actual
immersive work session: a background scene, a music queue,
a timer, all in one layer you can save and reopen with one click.
It started as a fix for my own problem. I code with ambient
videos playing, but they always end mid-flow and I lose my setup.
So I built the tool I wished existed.
A bit about me:
- I care a lot about calm, well-crafted software
- I believe deep work deserves a better environment than 10 browser tabs
- Chrome MV3 + Cloudflare is my current stack
- Still figuring out the "getting people to notice it" part 😅
I'm here to learn from other makers, share what I find building
in public, and hopefully give back as much as I take.
If you also work with background scenes/music, or you're another
indie dev grinding through the cold-start phase — I'd love to connect.
What are you all building right now?
— Alex 🌧️
