Happy to contribute a song I like. Speaking about contributing, how do I obtain custom urls like the demo ones linked above?

EDIT: To test it out, here's the link. Thanks @ArtBIT for showing me how to link a custom tune!

I had NO idea this was even a THING!!! You guys did some awesome work here> Now I need to do some of my own.

@amsyarzero Happy to contribute a song I like. Speaking about contributing, how do I obtain custom urls like the demo ones linked above?

Just prepend your GRUB_INIT_TUNE line with https://breadmaker.github.io/grub-tune-tester/?tune=

i.e. if your GRUB_INIT_TUNE line is

500 1000 1 2000 1

The URL for the player is

https://breadmaker.github.io/grub-tune-tester/?tune=500 1000 1 2000 1

And the markdown code is:

[Demo](<https://breadmaker.github.io/grub-tune-tester/?tune=500 1000 1 2000 1>)

NOTE: you have to enclose the URL in angle brackets because it contains spaces.

Alternatively, you can urlencode the tune parameter, and convert each space to %20 like so:

[Demo](https://breadmaker.github.io/grub-tune-tester/?tune=500%201000%201%202000%201)
