Worklog: 🐟 floundered around for a few days, then finally managed to get back 🥁 on the Beat Maker horse. Implemented a tricky data serialization/persistence ticket. Can't wait to get this web app online!

Worklog: took a break from Beat Maker last week to hack on some 🌲 https://hostedgitea.com essential fixes.

📼 Started implementing subscriptions & analytics on https://transcriptgenerator.com which has been getting a fair bit of traffic, but it was slow going and I didn't really get anywhere. Not very motivated to work on it.

🤓 Also tinkered with some algorithmic tracker module code which was the most fun.

🥁 Back to Beat Maker this week.

@thomasfuchs love this design trend. The logo for https://livereload.net was inspired by it!

@onyxraven @thomasfuchs Thanks for the mention Justin. 🙏

Thomas if you need any info to figure out if Hosted Gitea is right for your use-case let me know.

"No AI bullshit ever" sounds like something I should put on the front-page. 😆

Worklog: fixed a provisioning bug on https://hostedgitea.com and tightened up security.

I can't seem to capture a screencast without audio glitches when generating, but the app itself has no such artifacts.

Worklog: basic procedural beat generator working. 12 TODO list items until launch.

@0atman ha ha 🙏 yep built with ClojureScript. I've open sourced the audio library and UI components if you want to see the code. The app is a couple of hundred lines tying these libraries together:

Worklog: more progress on Dopeloop Beat Maker this week. 9 TODO list items left until release.

Worklog: this week I got the drum sample generator working in Dopeloop Beat Maker. \o/

@nickfisherau ha ha yes that often seems to be the case!

Bootstrapping and convexity. Re-posting this as it's in the zeitgeist now.

@yaxu Beautiful!

Worklog: upgraded Gitea on all https://hostedgitea.com machines. Added a new DNS monitoring script. Improved validation on signup form.

@erilun06 all good!

Worklog: had another fun week working on the new dopeloop.ai app. Here's a sneak peek. I'm really excited to ship this one soon!

@MildDrop72 thank you, will fix!

@0atman Thank you! Imagine writing the game logic in Rust with wasm target. 🤯 That would be fast and fun.

CSS is good enough for games.
