10 years ago I began working on Muki, a web-based MIDI and chiptune player which I eventually announced here on HN[0]. It was a fun weekend project.

Over the years I received numerous requests from people that wanted more: more music, more features, more playable formats, you name it.

Eventually I began working on a complete rewrite of the app (this time for real), and, realizing that each year another chiptune or MIDI website went offline, I decided to start archiving them for preservation.

Today, 10 years after the first release, I think it's finally time for the new, nicer version to hit the shelves. It's now called Pixeltune and yes, now you can actually turn down the volume. :)

Hope you like it!

This is just lovely. Nice trip through nostalgia, when I was 12 years old, I had a period where I listened to a lot of mods from the amiga demo scene to the eternal bafflement of my parents :) It's a pity I lost the collection I curated of my favorites.

One thing for tracks that have duration, it'd be great to see it.

Yes, track duration is on the TODO list.

I will also add an "export data" option for you, so you can rest safe that you won't lose your beautifully curated playlists. :)
