This is real - 33k BBC recordings, searchable, with an in-browser mixer.
The fine print for builders: the free tier is the RemArc license (personal / research / education only). Shipping a sound in a game, app, or monetized video means buying the commercial license (Pro Sound Effects runs it > "Buy sound" on each effect).
Prototype free, budget for the ship. 🎛️
BBC literally built the greatest sound library on the internet.
It is called BBC Sound Effects, and it gives you access to more than 30,000 recordings from around the world.
Just search any word, and it instantly finds matching sounds.
You can filter them by category, duration, and even the continent where the sound was recorded.
Every sound can be previewed inside your browser, downloaded, or added to the built-in mixer so you can layer multiple recordings together.
And the archive gets insanely specific.
You can find creaking ships, old typewriters, jungle ambience, distant church congregations, and even someone vigorously washing their hands.
There is a good chance a BBC engineer recorded the exact sound you need decades before you were born.

Anyone out there need a Cloudflare admin?
I've automated basically everything else. Claude and I ship apps together all day — it writes the code, wires the APIs, argues with me about naming. Genuinely a great colleague.
But the second I open the Cloudflare dashboard, it goes quiet. DNS records, page rules, that one Worker route that's definitely correct and definitely not working — and Claude's just like: "That's all you, man."
In the last four weeks I shipped three products.
Total downloads across all of them, as of this weekend: one. It was me, testing the live build.
Who cares? Right now: nobody — and figuring out why is the most useful thing I've done in 26 years of shipping software.
I used to be an evangelist at Microsoft (Silverlight, R.I.P.). The way I learned to advocate for technology was by learning in public.
Time to re-learn that muscle — on my own apps this time.
Gurn is live!
It is an iPhone runner controlled with your face. Open your mouth to jump. Tilt to move. Puff your cheeks to float.
It records the consequences.

I have a custom app I'm building for managing social media and I named it "Socializer".
I normally read it as @Scobleizer which fits, because that's who the name is honor of. 😉
I used to hide my iPhone when I worked at Microsoft.
Today I shipped an iOS app.
Point your phone at any comic cover, get a tier and a price you can check. The story of how it almost lied to me about a $7 book.
