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.

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!

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

Worklog: continued hacking on itwriter.js - an Impulse Tracker binary file writer for JavaScript. Got patterns serializing properly today. \o/

Will be using this in dopeloop.ai apps as an export format, and also for some #algorave experiments.
