I made something very similar about 25 years ago! Nice to see a modern take.

Enjoyed the ‘parody’ of loopop’s “talking hands” demos!
Wish I wasn’t so late to this thread.
Mitxela is amazing. I visit that site from time to time, and just read random stuff for fun.
What made me feel more kinship with Mitxela was the “Ode to Rockbox” video that share my wonder and enthusiasm for this alternative OS for mp3 players. I still run it on some lil players I still use every day. As Mitxela says, it is a wonder.
Mitxela is a creative genius (and I don’t use that word lightly). The concepts, ideals, projects, and rants on that site are a blast to check out.
