It&rsquo;s a tiny web player that grabs a random MOD file from <a href="https://modarchive.org">modarchive.org</a> and plays it. No login, no library, no algorithm — just a play button and a wave of nostalgia from the Amiga and PC tracker scene. The README says &ldquo;no black magic involved&rdquo; and that&rsquo;s exactly the appeal: a digital amplifier for a corner of the demoscene most people never knew existed.</p>
