#93The fact that this is at the top of HN at 3am gives me hope.
Why hope?

#94The sounds don't seem well balanced. The cow bell is very loud and when I turn down overall volume I can't even hear the bongos. I bet they are normalised rather than balanced for perceived loudness.
How else could it be?

#95Earlier quoted context omitted.
Ah, I am so used to video on the web not being muted that this didn't occur to me. Thanks!
Although it then remutes if I lock and unlock, or switch away. iOS is fun.
You might need to take it out of silent mode with the physical switch on the side of the phone

#97This is delightful. It would be nice though if you could play a full scale/octave of notes on the keyboard and marimba.
Right now you can only play the first 10 notes (semitones) of the chromatic scale so it makes it a little unusable musically.
It would be awesome and playable if it was:
- All 12 semitones plus octave (13 notes total)
or if limited space for buttons is an issue
- 7 notes of a major scale plus octave (8 notes total)

#98It uses jQuery extensively. The frontend developer in me wants to make a fork written in typescript using react and redux toolkit to manage keystrokes. Then I realize it is just a fun toy.
Then you realise this is what a lot of people spend their working lives doing, rewriting frontend code in a different framework for no good reason other than they want to.
Yeah, no native tools ever get written in different languages and frameworks. Or is it only not acceptable when Front End developers do it?
Personally I've never known anyone do this for any other reason but educational reasons. When I wanted to learn React, I copied other websites in React. I do similar things when I'm learning Golang, or C, or any other language I'm interested in.

#100I made an app in such playful style but without memes, maybe crowd in this thread would appreciate it. It would at least keep your kids occupied for few minutes.
