Show HN: A free Gameboy–style music tracker in the browser with shareable URLs

I built a 4-channel music tracker modeled on the original Game Boy's sound hardware: two pulse channels, a wave channel, and noise. It runs entirely in the browser using the Web Audio API, with no account or backend.

Songs save to localStorage, and share links compress the whole song into the URL hash, so sharing never touches a server. You can also export WAV, M4A, or a square MP4 of the rows playing.

It ships with 3 demo songs to show what it can do. I’m a developer, not a composer, so I made the song format LLM-friendly: use “Import from text” on the home page, and see https://chiptunes.studio/llms.txt for the format.

To hear it first, here's a demo song. It opens on a playback page with a Remix button that drops you into the editor: https://chiptunes.studio/share#v1.7Z3BjqJAEIbfpfZKJ40gCjcV9L...

I’d love feedback from anyone with tracker or DAW experience, and I’d love to hear what you make. Share your song links!
