A problem I've often encountered when working in a remote team is figuring out the timezones over spoken text (this isn't a problem when you have shared calendar)

And I built this small simple thing to share the time and timezone within URL so that receiver will see the time in their own timezone.

It's hosted on GitHub and has no server component, feel free to use/contribute.

They all seems to be using fastly.com

I think fastly (fastly.com) is having an outage right now

can't speak about the very recent updates, but windows have been consistent and adamant on keeping the backward compatibility. they still use reserved file names for io devices so that 30+ year old printers can still work, and you can still open a 2000s doc file in office 365. (I'm looking at you Apple, who made many of the 32 bit apps I loved useless)

I was not aware of any of the music apps you made and came to know about MusicToy first time from this thread (oh and it's great btw, I played around with it a bit)

and my inspiration, as I stated earlier was from a stress-reliver app in play store which I have given credits in the first paragraph of README.

if it makes you feel any better, I am the author of the website and I posted the same exact link 9 hours before OP and it got 3 upvotes [0] .

then I woke up to a lot of GitHub stars on the repository and turns out this blew up.

HN works in mysterious ways.

I have no idea, that seems like a newly created account to me. if you have any queries or issues/feedback, you can always raise it on git or contact me.

I took this only as a learning experience and in no way to promote or market something :)

Hey, I'm the author and your comment did put a smile on my face. thanks for that :)

> steps is 10 rather than the conventional 8

oops, sorry on that one as I have no idea about music theory and stuff. I just learned a lot by building it and now going through this thread learning more.

This actually sounds great. Loved it.

> I assume it's using the pentatonic scale or other music theory trickery to make "anything" sound good? :)

I have no idea. But it works :D

That sounds like a good idea.

Made this change. Thank you!

Hey. Author here.

The history issue is fixed now :). I ended up using replaceState instead of pushState

Hey, Author here. Thanks!

> Would be nice if it did `history.replace` instead of push, it currently nukes your back button.

This is fixed now. Can you check now?

> There is also something off, maybe a 4-note limit per row?

Yeah, I felt this too. Something is off when most of the notes in a row are selected. I will figure this out.

Few days back, I was trying out an AntiStress app in play store which had many small widgets to play around. It had a similar music box which I loved. I wanted to make it configurable and longer, so I made one. The code might be messy since it's my first svelte project, PRs are always welcome :)
