LLM is plaguing the internet as usual. This site is proof of what a non-technical, inexperienced person comes up with with vibe coding.

With Claude Code in less than 5 minutes, I can come up with something 10x better, at least usable, with basic UX knowledge and flow basics.

Sorry if I offended the author, but he/she can learn from these comments.

Bah, the user interface and design is horrible to navigate in, which just made me sad. Try to paginate, music stops etc. If you created this, spend some more effort in user testing before sharing if you want users to have a good experience. My 2 cents.

it screems vibecoding without the slightest idea what they doing.

Vibecoded slop with terrible performance. Use https://chiptune.app . >Preserving the digital underground's musical legacy Yeah I'm pretty sure the people who made keygens and chiptunes would hate today's AI and LLM. This is a tribute to chiptunes and keygen music as much as putting a picture of your grandma into an AI tool to animate it would be a tribute to her.

I was coming here to recommend https://chiptune.app/ too - it's great, and super fast to boot.

Not that I've looked into it much, but a thought just occurred to me. Why don't we use AI to generate lofi samples for tracker music? Why aren't there trackers with that feature bolted on? I should be able to search for bespoke and unique sounds out of thin air. Surely that should be a very modest goal to achieve? (re: downvotes... I say "AI" as a synthesis method, not as a way to interfere with the creative process,…

Not quite what you suggested, but I did some experiments several months ago "enhancing" the samples in tracker music with some models, and they sounded terrible. There really is something about the sound of tracker files that's just right. But sure, you could generate lo-fi samples, there's a lot of computer generated samples in music, but putting them together into a pleasing combination is the hard bit.

Also why is there no big "Play" button? I have to click a bunch to even hear an example.

Vibecoded website with poor UX. Loving that the website is both trying to be fancy by having a floating player you can drag around with a playlist, while also wiping everything if you click the wrong link. No human made this, or paid it any attention at least.

> a floating player you can drag

you can drag only by clicking on a ui element that has no indication that it can be dragged.
