Don't sell your idea short by calling it "silly." I have actually used it quite often when I just want a little ambient noise quickly to get some work done. Nice work and much appreciated!

Thanks @Deinos! Although, I'd agree with Tommy that the site itself IS silly - it's like dead stupid simple if we're being honest. Hell, as the co-founder I called Coffitivity ridiculous before we ever started building. That said, the utility becomes apparent pretty quickly and outweighs how trivial it seemed at first. We're really stoked you're enjoying it.

Yeah that's what I mean

And I find "Yo" useful! I love Coffitivity, it is a little silly though. It's also really important and powerful in millions of peoples lives - Yo isn't quite at that point yet but it totally could be.

But they're both a little silly and it's not right (in my definition of right) for either to be trying to get clones taken down IMO.
