As someone who uses sound apps for typing I think this is a great idea.
Couple of things though:
There should really be a volume slider for the typing noise - if a person needs to turn down their computer volume to control the sound but then can't hear their Spotify properly it can become a problem.
When changing the theme from espresso or skateboard, the font changes back to nunito and you have to select another font then select the one you had again. Small problem, small fix probably.
Obviously it'd be nice to have a larger selection of sounds. If you want anything custom recorded I'd be happy to help out as I'm a sound designer. I won't charge, seeing as you've provided the app free of charge as well. Plus it'll only take me a day or two to get it done, even if I'm being lazy lol.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you for your kind words! And for reporting the theme-font bug, I'll make sure to fix that first, and soon! I'll go about implementing a volume slider too, and of course, I'm planning on adding more sounds, along with more fonts and themes.
I'm super interested in having custom-recorded sounds in the program! Your offer is generous and I'd love to take you up on that :)
Sounds like a plan. You can email me at cory.pelizzari@gmail.com so I can set up a dropbox link to send you in a couple of days with the sounds.
