Mechanical engineer builds two music guessing games with Claude in memory of his late sister

A mechanical engineer (not a developer) shared Shabang, a music-guessing site built entirely with Claude, featuring two games:
- TrackStack: each song is split into instrument layers — you start with only drums, and each wrong guess adds bass, guitar, piano... vocals come last
- Songuess: you hear a fifth of a second, with each wrong guess extending to 0.5s, 2s, 4s...
Both score by how little you need to hear, with a global daily challenge. He started building it to pass time with his sister during her three-month cancer hospitalization; she passed away on August 29th, and he finished it as a free, no-signup site. The Flask backend, both games, and the audio-splitting pipeline were all built with Claude.
