Show HN: DIY LLM "infinite backrooms" in the browser

After playing with Universal Backrooms last week (https://github.com/scottviteri/UniversalBackrooms), a python implementation of two LLMs having a conversation forever, I wanted to make it available in the browser, so I built https://backrooms.directory, a static site that does the same thing.

Basically: you put in your OpenRouter (or Hyperbolic) key, select a template and the language models that you want to have a conversation, and they start talking, and keep talking, often indefinitely. They can say some strange and entertaining things, and it's helped give me a deeper intuition about how the models work.

I also added a feature not present in Universal Backrooms, which is "explore mode". It's sort of like how Loom (https://github.com/socketteer/loom) lets you select branching conversations, but more oriented toward guiding the current conversation rather than exploring branching possibilities.

I hope you have fun with it!
