Loved this. The countdown added a nice urgency that other word games don't have. Kinda fiendish, kinda fun.

Also enjoyed that it was a near-mouse free typing game. Would love a keyboard shortcut for shuffle. And an anagram circle perhaps?

Working on this :)

This is a good call and has been fixed.

Ha! Just before I began work on Yamanote.fun I actually asked Claude Design to replicate that display. It didn't go especially well and it led to me designing a custom interface in Figma that would work far better on mobile.

As you can see, it was far from perfect: https://ibb.co/3D6GBsX

Yamanote.style was a huge inspiration :)

Sleep mode added to the roadmap :)

Should be a fairly easy ask as the chimes and melodies are on separate tracks and the volume can be adjusted easily.

Wow! This is insanely cool. I really enjoyed this. The train driver outfit is a lovely touch too. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you. I appreciate your kind words.

I've built PWAs with rich UIs and offline caching in the past and found that Claude Code produced results far quicker than I could. But it wasn't without it's quirks. The service workers and caching were handled pretty seamlessly I must say, but it took LOTS of iterations to get the UI behaving as I wanted, with the level of polish I was aiming for.

There's probably a lesson about taste in here somewhere.

Thanks for the great feedback :) The more Yamanote projects the better I say!

And I'm working on a V2 of the soundscapes based on all of the suggestions from HN. Keep an eye on yamanote.fun over the next week or so.

Thank you for the kind words and the really thoughtful product suggestions :)

I've added vertical next and previous arrows that make far more sense in the context of the UI as well as mouse wheel behaviour this morning.

I've also had lots of suggestions for improving the soundscapes themselves, so I'll be doing a V2 of those complete with the door sounds, 'ドアが閉まります' and the alarm.
