Beepbox collaboration (we make a song together)

Ever seen this? It is an online sequencer. You can make beats, loops, and songs with it. It can also save/load songs, but even better, it can store all the data of the song within the URL. The URL updates whenever you change something.
One of us can make a beat or melody, post the resulting URL here, and then someone else can add more to the song, post their new URL, and so on. We can make a song together, and we can also see the history of the song by visiting the old URLs.
What do you guys think?
Well, I started a song/project. Here ya go: Freesound BeepBox Session No.1 (Phase 1)
Feel free to experiment with it. Change whatever you like, play with it, learn how it works. It's pretty fun!
I just discovered that there are more advanced BeepBox spinoffs, like UltraBox, which has many more features.
Originally, I concluded "I think sticking with BeepBox will make this project more accessible to all of us."
However, UltraBox and some of the others can load custom samples, meaning we can make a BeepBox song that uses Freesounds. (EDIT: It is possible, but doing it is a pain and will require us to either hotlink every Freesound we want to use or upload them to another service. I'm asking around to find out the best approach now.)
would love to bring the beepbox community back together!!
-haven't used that website in a while so it would be interesting to see what we could come up with
