From the README

A record that wears where you played it.

Every groove on a real record degrades in proportion to how many times a stylus has crossed it. Play one track to death and you can see it. That band goes milky while the rest of the disc stays mirror-black. DeadWax renders that, driven by your actual listening history.

It is one self-contained HTML file. No build step, no server, no account.

The wear is real data. Bands are laid out by track duration and shaded by play count on a log curve. The shading is normalised against both the record's own range and an absolute reference.
