#32Hardly game-changing, to be sure. I did it for fun and to see whether it was possible at all, and as far as I know nobody actually uses it for anything. But there's something about synthesizing audio a byte at a time and playing it back in a web browser that tickles the same sense of magical possibility that I first experienced as a kid learning BASIC on an Apple IIc. Our industry's grown up a lot since then, of course, and I've grown up with it - but, every now and again, it's delightful to be reminded of what led so many of us into this line of work in the first place.

#35I made this 4 years ago for those times when you just need an invoice. Today 10s of thousands of individuals and businesses use this each day to get paid. It's free to use with no login required. Instead it uses localStorage to remember data.

#37Nyan Mode. https://github.com/TeMPOraL/nyan-mode I made it as a simple joke, but for some reason it rapidly gained popularity among Emacs users, and now I sometimes find it or hear about it in unexpected places. (Also I fear that on my deathbed I'll look back and realize that the most used thing I've ever made in my life was an animated cat for a text editor... sigh )
I have been using this for years and all my work colleagues always ask me "what is that nyan cat on your text editor? that must be super annoying!" and I always have to tell them I just really like it. Thank you for building this, it's awesome!

I fear I'm going to get chewed out for my crap code on this one but I'm really not a webdev... I hacked this together after getting sick of celeb gossip links and trash ads for facebook games. I'd rather get a random pic of a cat or a supercar than irrelevant junk.
