Worklog: worked on 🥁 Beat Maker and a new indicator UI element for https://dopeloop.ai. Six issues left before I can release it.

Worklog: added apps and videos to the new https://dopeloop.ai front page design.

Prototype of a tool to extract ambient pad drone synth sounds from audio source material. Needs a lot of work but I'll be deploying this on https://dopeloop.ai at some point.

Worklog: hacking on Beat Maker sample detail view today.

There are 10 issues left before I can ship. My work rate is about 11 issues per month on projects like this, so I am hopeful I can get through these by the end of July. 🙏

Worklog: making it easier to edit Beat Maker beats on mobile phones. It's hard to squeeze a drum machine into a portrait view!

Worklog: continued hacking on the new dark mode front page for https://dopeloop.ai yesterday.

Worklog: started redesigning the https://dopeloop.ai front page.

Worklog: got Impulse Tracker module export working in Beat Maker. \o/

Worklog: continued hacking on Impulse Tracker export for Beat Maker.

This GIF shows the Dopeloop UI in the three major browser rendering engines. The close-but-not-quite differences between WebKit, Chromium, and Firefox must drive designers mad!

I'm working on the checkbox design for Dopeloop UI. I wanted to see how it looked in the the major rendering engines so I wrote this small nbb + playwright script which takes a screenshot of localhost:8000 in each engine.

Script: https://gist.github.com/chr15m/5671491e2757909f3d1797df7ef22111

Worklog: made this popup menu for the download button on Beat Maker yesterday (for https://dopeloop.ai). Need to fix the checkbox design and also implement the actual download formats (only wav loop works so far).

Incremental progress FTW!

A blog post in which I gush about Linux. 😍

Worklog: itwriter.js hacking continues. Last night I got multiple samples working + stereo samples. Today I am tidying up for a proper release.
