Earlier quoted context omitted.

Not sure what pisses me off more. That, or the music autoplaying.

Or breaking the back button

breaking the back button is an absolute sin. What could be the possible use case for anyone to break the back button this way?

Website usability vomit

Hey, We didn't expect such huge feedback, and the website was made just for fun without any testing. We know that the webpage is ugly. Moreover, we're hosting it on a limited free Firebase tier. Sorry for the inconvenience.

As a temporary solution, you could use https://hackaday.io/project/172188-control-your-audio-wit-th....

Whoever designed this train wreck of a web page should be tarred, feathered, and publicly flogged on national television as a warning to anyone that might be tempted to make something similar.

Sorry, we didn't expect such a huge interest from the community. The website was made quickly and without any testing.

I know it's ugly, sorry.

Maybe I'll try to fix it these days.

Why can't I go back? Cool product, but this is the worst webpage I have ever had the privilege of using.
