👋 Hello! I'm very excited to announce the release of https://livereload.net! 🎉

🎁 It's a simple utility you can use to do live-reloading web dev without complicated build tooling. Just drag your project on to the page to start.

Worklog: down with the flu for several days. Managed to eke out some progress on Melody Generator, https://hostedgitea.com, and getting web live reloader ready for launch.

Worklog: spent yesterday hyperfocused on the browser based live reloading web dev experiment. Will release this soon.

Poll. If you made a browser based tool to help people do live-reloading web development without command line, which domain name would you give it?

Worklog: Saturday tinkering with the browser based live reloader experiment.
Finally did some database maintenance on https://rogule.com - there were 91k games played in March and there are currently 1.5k games played per day, so the database has swollen to 1.9 Gb!

Worklog: bug fixes on https://dopeloop.ai/melody-generator and mocking out the Pro version UI and upgrade flow.

Also hacked a bit on the browser based live reloading dev experiment I've been tinkering with. I guess this is the nephew of slingcode dot net.

Worklog: lots of progress hacking on https://dopeloop.ai (Melody Generator Pro).
- Refactoring.
- Authentication API update.
- Exporting wav & mp3 feature.
- Accounts page update.
- Show MG Pro info modal when exporting MIDI.

Worklog: hacked on a browser based live-reloading web dev experimental thing over the weekend.

Worklog: Hung over. Faffed about trying to get Malli type errors showing up via clj-kondo. Got sitefox-payments integrated into dopeloop.ai to support paid subscriptions. \o/

Worklog: integrated Sitefox auth/accounts into the dopeloop.ai backend. Long day wrestling to get the integration working in this old codebase & upgrading server libs. Managed to keep the old Postgres session data intact. \o/

Lol, Andreesen Horowitz tagged the wrong Chris McCormick and so I get to have a bit of fun.
