I asked Claude to use this with the new scheduled tasks /loop skill to update my Oscar picks site every five minutes during tonight’s awards show. It simply visited the Oscars' realtime feed via Chrome DevTools, and updated my picks and pushed to gh pages. It even handled the tie correctly.
I stopped using Pocket a long time ago when they started ruining the experience. When Omnivore shut down, I switched over to Raindrop.io. I now use it for bookmarking and built a simple cloud function to easily post links with a specific tag to a Daring Fireball-style link blog I host on Ghost. While Raindrop isn’t open source, it does offer useful browser extensions with features like highlights, notes, and tags—making it a handy tool for quickly blogging and / or bookmarking things I stumble across. I open sourced the cloud function.
Every time someone visits my variation of SonicGarbage, it performs a YouTube search with randomly generated phrases to discover videos. It then downloads these videos, processes their audio, and converts them into a loop. The site then generates a unique timestamped URL hosting each sample loop that was generated and adds it to an archive of random YouTube sample packs.
Since this is running on a free tier Google micro instance it takes close to a minute to run this process. So, when you visit you'll be enjoying a page of samples generated by the last person who visited.
You can trigger and loop the sounds by clicking and hovering over the YouTube IDs, simulating a live sampler. Right-clicking the IDs allows you to download the looped sample files. I didn't bother to optimize for mobile so it's desktop only right now...sorry!
Kudos to Colugo Music for inspiring so many of us!

I know I could just use claude --chrome, but I’m used to this excellent MCP server.
