Create A Browser App - for visualising music Music visualiser app insipired by [Justin’s WinAmp]( It really kicks the llama’s ass :-) LLM used: Claude. Had used Gemini for Day1 (browser addon).

This was a feature available in Winamp. Outcome VIZMIX — your Winamp-inspired 3D audio visualizer. Source code is here Visualization Modes BARS — classic 3D frequency bars along the X axis, height on Y, time on Z WAVE — dual waveform lines with mirror reflection FALL — waterfall cascade where history scrolls back into Z depth SPHERE — 1,800-point particle sphere that deforms to the beat TUNNEL — an infinite zooming tunnel that warps with bass hits Audio Sources 🎵 Drop/click any audio file (MP3, WAV, OGG, FLAC…) 🎙 Live microphone input Customizable Effects 🌀 TRIPPY — shifting background hues + geometry distortion ✨ BLOOM — amplitude-driven brightness boost 🪞 MIRROR — symmetrical reflection 🔄 SPIN — auto-rotating camera orbit 6 Color Palettes — Cyber, Fire, Ocean, Neon, Mono, Rainbow Controls — sensitivity, height, smoothing, animation speed, volume, seek bar, and drag-to-orbit the 3D camera with your mouse (or touch).

It removes all tracking parameters from the link before rendering it in a new tab. Tool of choice: Gemini - got this idea from S Ananand’s talk ...

Interesting Insight Came across an interesting insight on the Risky.Biz podcast. In the example discussed in the podcast Episode #824, this was mentioned in the GreyNoise newsletter, which noted a total drop in telnet traffic. Apparently, a vulnerability in the telnet protocol is likely to drop soon. And the service providers have probably been nudged into blocking all Telnet traffic. The absence of usual patterns in network traffic, could be attributable to an underlying event. ...
