I like the music, Burial - Archangel vibes from one track. Have it play the next song after it plays the first otherwise it just goes silent, unless it's intentional.

I'll defo take a look at playing the next song after the first one ends. I had this functionality at some point, so if it is not working it's defo a regression. Will fix it.

Btw, I am happy you love the music! It's royalty free music I added there, but I should add some credits as it seems many people listen to it. Since I published this last week it used up all my 100GB Vercel allowance and I had to move it to Google Storage.

Really cool! Love your solution for achieving synchronisation, so nice to have the site open on both laptop and phone and see the same movements on both devices.

Thanks! I was initially pondering calculating the moves on the server and storing the state regularly in the DB, so the animation can run forever. But in the end simplicity won and I just reset the animation every 24h. The cube is usually "as scrambled as it gets" after 20-30 moves anyway.
