Soundportals.live
Listen to user created soundscapes
Today I pushed another update to https://soundportals.live adding a new playlists feature, live comments section, and bug fixes.
I would love to get your opinions on the current version of the platform! What should I add to improve the experience or entice you to use it more often?
Today I finished version 1 (redesigned and feature-rich V) of https://soundportals.live
Soundportals.live empowers creatives to share their (soundscape/ambiance) art, while simultaneously creating a community and platform to help you work or relax!
Tell me what you think. Let me know if you have any problems or ideas for how I could improve it!

The original images need resizing. For example if I open the first image in my browser I get the original file which is 2704x1512 pixels and 6.3MB. It loads very slowly over my crappy internet.
You need to resize these down to the actual size you use (432x242) for efficiency. This will increase performance and reduce your bandwidth costs.
I don't know for certain but I think Firebase can do this for you: https://firebase.google.com/products/extensions/storage-resize-images
Maybe someone else more familiar with Firebase can help here!

It's a very pretty site - well done - but you need to rescale the image files as they are huge.
60MB to load your page. Hope you're not paying for bandwidth(!!)

Soundportals.live is officially live! You can now listen to awsome user-created soundscapes while working, reading or relaxing. More features will come, but I would love to get thoughts on the V1.
What do you think? I have been looking for a platform like this for a while, ended up deciding to just create it myself.
