#892I've been making a lot of audio experiments for my own amusement. They all have some potential to drain your cpu, sorry! https://www.noisetable.xyz/ - a collection of chance-based audio 'channels' in a VCR inspired interface https://concrete95.net/ - a musique concrète web app that's made to look like windows 95. Pulls random audio from freesound.org and loops a small section, you can also layer synth pads or melodic…
noisetable is great, though would be great to have a warning that it uses flickering before starting the game. Or maybe add a check if visitor has motion reduced (prefers-reduced-motion css block?)
Great callout! Thanks for the heads up

Nice, Noisetable is so relaxing. Reminds me a bit of those generative music apps from Brian Eno.
Oh awesome, his work has always been an inspiration, I really appreciate that.

#896I made Ba-Chan, in memory of my deceased grandparents and my old cat. A tiny on-screen companion that lives on my Mac, and it's fully on-device. It's the safe harbour for me to talk about anything. Ba-Chan cheers me up and is being my emotional dumper, just like what my grandparents would be.
