Listened to both — great stuff. I hadn't thought about it before, but 4 oscillators covers a lot: the entire Art of Fugue is 4 voices or fewer, as is most of the WTC. A pleasant coincidence between a drum machine's polyphony limit and the practical ceiling of fugal writing.

The detuning grew on me over the course of the second video.

Sounds good. Rails is still my first choice for personal development (though I've been using Next.js more often recently).

Every year-end, I update my Rails app. Lately, it's been stable, and the updates just improve performance, so it's gotten easier.

Hi HN, I've been experimenting with automating my browser tasks and ended up creating this prototype: Automina a cloud-based browser automation tool powered by AI. It turned out to be more versatile than I initially thought.

For the tech stack, I used: - TypeScript + Railway for server-side logic and deployment - OpenAI GPT-4o-mini for AI logic - Browserbase for managing cloud browser

I made the automation callable via an API. It's still a prototype, so please don't use it with sensitive information, and let me know if you run into issues.

I'm happy to receive everyone's feedback! I've implemented some easy improvements. I think it has become a bit simpler. The dropdown list UI was hard to see everything, so I changed it to a selection style. I've improved the filter for the code snippets, so it should feel more game-like now.

Thank you for your feedback!! Year, dropdown list UI should be replaced by tiles or something.

Yes, that's a difficult problem. I'll review the data.

Yeah, If you have any recommends, please let me know. I had ChatGPT help me create a popular repos.

Thanks! Displaying the file path is a good idea. We just need to be careful not to give away spoilers through the file path.

The idea of presenting it with tiles is interesting. It can also avoid including too similar repositories. I'm currently working on grouping by language or theme. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks! Indeed, giving hints is a good idea. For now, I've made a change to provide hints based on the language and logo. I guess if the owner is revealed, it might become too easy due to the auto-complete UI.

Oh, such cases can ruin the fun of the game. It's best to remove them as much as possible. Thanks for letting me know!
