madmonkon Ask HN: How do I get my PM to stop using Excel to track bugs?

I see some potential for using this for content distribution via QR codes. Create a page, make a QR code sticker and you're now hosting a website on a wall.

madmonkon Show HN: A UI for generating WebAudio code

The first one is more of a proof of concept where as music for spaceports is much more feature complete.

Thanks again!
