This is pretty cool cause not only does it oscillate back and forth between two LEDs but its even versatile enough to chain together as many of these circuits as you want and basically create what some people refer to as an “LED chaser”. It’s very simple and easy to understand in operation, however the component count can seem like a lot if you plan on trying to create a pretty long chain of these... Basically all I did here was design a falling edge trigger that does nothing at first when you press a button, but when you release it, a short pulse is produced (or long, or mediocre, or whatever length you want, depending on the size of the capacitors). And then the output of each stage is simply fed straight into the input of the next. Also, something else that’s pretty nice about this special oscillator is that the sizes of the capacitors used directly determines the duty cycle/pulse width of each chain!

If there’s anyone interested in a more detailed explanation, just let me know in the comments section
Here’s a link to one with 3 stages:
