0.90 pre-release of Luminous desktop music player for Linux/Windows. #BuildInPublic New in this release: - Smart Playlist Builder & Advanced Filter Engine - Native OS Now Playing Integration - Live Search Auto-Suggestions & History - Seamless History Navigation
Artists on Tidal might want to double-check to see if their new AI detector wrongly flagged some of your tracks. They mislabeled a sped-up track and another random track of mine. You should have received an email saying if something was mislabeled to report it. It includes a link to a support form.
Ouch. My sympathy to the Dell employee that sent out their "Back to School" email. How many layers of corporate testing did that fall through?
v0.75 pre-release of Luminous desktop music player for Linux/Windows #BuildInPublic - Decades & Smart Auto-Playlists - Enhanced Playlist Editor - Seamless State Preservation - Artist & Genre Highlights - Integrated Library Maintenance
Along the Pend-d’Oreille River with friends. Then looped back to Nelson to eat at Yum Son again.
Silly little swallows landing on grass shadertoy project. Inspired by today's wallpaper. www.shadertoy.com/view/7ft3WS
Afternoon in Nelson. First time at Yum Son Modern Vietnamese and it was so yummy. Stopped by Pixie Candy Shoppe and Blue Sky Clothing. Picked up arthermit.ca new Explore Nelson card deck at Notably.
Going to show some love for Google's Antigravity 2 harness: - Gemini 3.5 (Flash) is very capable, fast, and smartly pro-active. - I love the Overview, Review, Implementation Plan, Walkthrough process. Probably my favorite and I wish I could bring it to other models. #BuildInPublic
Got the synced lyrics up-and-running for my Luminous desktop music app. Windows + Linux #BuildInPublic
Working on internationalization (i18n) so my Canadian-made desktop music player is bilingual #BuildInPublic github.com/esoltys/lumi...
Worked on improving Artist detail views and theming today in my Luminous desktop music player app. #BuildInPublic
My Luminous Music Player desktop app is coming along nicely. Worked on the Artist view showing a stack of your albums and the Home view showing Recently Played, Recently Added, and Most Played. #BuildInPublic It's progressed enough I was able to make it my default music player.
Another evening at the lake. I listened to my audiobook while my girls splashed in the water. Heard a loon cry a few times.
Worked on performance today. Added svelte-virtual-list and tested Luminous with 100_000 tracks, 500 albums, and 1_000 artists. Keeping it speedy. #BuildInPublic
Strangely satisfying to use my own music app. I've been building web apps for so long I'd forgotten what it's like to make an app beyond the terminal
#EvilDeadBurn is intense. 🔥 Creative camera work throughout. Evil Dead: Rise was more fun and this one is more brutal and dark. 😶
Something broken in YouTube #Music? Skimming through albums in new releases and only tracks that had been released as singles previously are available. Wet Leg's "moisturizer (deluxe)" is missing all the live content, Jack White's "Frozen Charlotte" has only 3/13 tracks available, etc.
Iterated on my shader code to make "Summer Pond": much more efficient, you can change the pov with your mouse or tapping, changed the angle of the rain, added some lily pads. And it's round. 💧 www.shadertoy.com/view/N3BXzd
🎮 Playing "Starfield: Shattered Space". You can see further when the sky is clear, but the stormy weather with red lightning and dust storms are more dramatic.
Playing "The Invincible" and continuing to look for my crewmate on Regis III 🎮
Kootenay artist Sab Curtis has a new book “Rewired”. “After multiple traumatic brain injuries changed the course of her life, Sab found an unexpected path forward through art.”
