Worklog: finally solved a tricky UI problem today in Beat Maker. I want to give people a good experience editing on any device but the full grid doesn't always fit. 🤔
Solution:
1. Resize observer on the grid.
2. On resize, make all beats display for an instant and then measure how many are visible in the scroll area, then set their display back to what it was before.
3. Find the next lowest power of two beats that will fit, and divide the grid up into pages of that size.

Worklog: trying to come up with a better UI for the Beat Maker grid on mobile devices. Over the summer I realized the scrollbars hack I came up with is not going to work.

Worklog: upgrade all https://hostedgitea.com machines to the latest version.

🕹️ I shipped makesprite.com - it's a simple open source web app to generate and wrangle sprites using DALL-E. 🖼️

@lvk thanks for checking it out!

I'm constantly having to look up the syntax for looping in bash so I made this tiny website to make it quick and easy.

@lvk by the way I noticed your GitHub link on your profile has a typo so it leads to a 404 currently. Thought you might like to know!

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

@lvk Thanks for your idea! I'd like to fix the algorithm so there is no tremolo audible at all and the drone is more constant. Then you can add whatever tremolo you like in your DAW. Or maybe I can also add a UI for effects like tremolo.

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