    Not super easy, but should be doable using Web Audio API and its AnalyzerNode.

    I disagree. We have plenty of competitors in web browsing area: Chrome, Comodo, Epic, Epiphany, Firefox, IE, K-Meleon, Konqueror, Maxthon, Midori, Otter, QupZilla, Sleipnir, SeaMonkey, and now Spartan and Vivaldi. Why don't they contri

    Any way how to automatically mirror an external Git repo to GitHub? Any webhooks for that?
