Finished up and now live on the app store 😀 apps.apple.com/us/app/wavefor…

Also started on this little #iOS app last Sunday to take a photo of a waveform and convert it into #audio, hopefully will have some time over the weekend to continue working on it - Results come out pretty #lofi and crunchy, will be great for single cycles!#buildinpublic

Waveform camera is available on the Apple App Store, converts images of audio waveforms (or any other image input into it) into wav files in a lo-fi way. apps.apple.com/us/app/wavefor… #audioapp #iosapp #waveformcamera #imagetoaudio

Desktop build of #DigiChain for #macOS and #Windows are now live on the @itchio page brian3kb.itch.io/digichain

Got my first #iOS app published on the AppStore thanks to @twostraws and his #100DaysOfSwiftUI #hackingwithswift tutorials, just a little app my wife wanted to manage her #book #tbrlist with filters useful for #readers that more generic apps didn’t have. apps.apple.com/us/app/tbr-spi…

#DigiChain has been updated to v1.5.0 - many bug fixes, rendering improvements, session import/exports, exporting for @jugendingenieur #OPXY drum kit presets, and dedicated kit building UI for the #OP1Field & #OPXY #buildinpublic digichain.brianbar.net

@kylenabecker @elonmusk @X @Kurz_Gesagt made a couple of videos covering this, one specifically about how it’s already affecting South Korea youtu.be/Ufmu1WD2TSk And another more globally focused youtu.be/LBudghsdByQ Both good watches that break down why the decline is such a huge issue.

I would love to see a public forum where it is discussed why this is so bad. Is it just the economics of it? What are the sociological ramifications of it? You could discuss it on @X Spaces with other experts, as well as a few who disagree. What I am wondering: Is this really so bad with the advent of advanced robotics and AI? It would be amazing for this to be fleshed out with fellow futurists.

This is the end of humanity if not reversed

@themovercell @TheGingerBill @theo The main problem with the majority of immediate mode renderers (Imgui included), is the lack of accessibility features that are very well supported in modern browser based rendering engines (think, screen readers/text to speech, tab indexes for keyboard nav, aria descriptors etc)

@TheGingerBill @theo I'd say something: it's a bit screwy but Dear IMGUI is such a crazy good choice,it renders windows as just OpenGL/Vulkan/directdraw(ew)/metal(ew) You can just put up a call for creating a window, call all the UI elements to be created, and then call for the window to be complete

After watching @theo's video on "Is Electron really that bad?", my personal view is still that it is very bad BUT that's because there isn't really a simple native way to write decent GUIs. There is not a good native alternative for people to use. youtube.com/watch?v=WdmfFm…

@Hasen_Judi @TheGingerBill There’s @TauriApps and @wailsapp coming at this from Rust/Go using the OS webview which dramatically reduces binary size. And if you’re wanting to get away completely from a webview, @nicbarkeragain’s C layout library, Clay, is very promising.

@TheGingerBill I'm trying to work on it. Not because I'm the best person for the job, but because I don't see anyone else trying to do anything about it. Also I have no day job atm

Electron won not because javascript is easy (it's not). Electron won because you can make pretty UIs and be cross platform.

@kadabvra @dwkos @ThePrimeagen System Settings -> Trackpad, gives a video demonstration of each trackpad gesture with options to toggle them off or customize their behavior.

@brian3kb @dwkos @ThePrimeagen And by what user friendly mechanism or information is it given in a typical install of macOS?

macs are harder to use than ubuntu

@dwkos @kadabvra @ThePrimeagen It’s been “press with two fingers” on trackpads for right click for at least 10, maybe even 15 or more years.

Isn't there some kind of gesture for right clicking? I don't currently use a Mac and to be honest, when I did, I preferred to use a cheap USB PC mouse and put the Apple mouse away in a drawer. Apple's single click wasn't originally them trying to be different but more historical inertia. When Windows introduced right-click menus in 1995, Apple was near a low point with an OS they struggled to add features to. Before that PCs had multiple mouse buttons but Windows didn't use them.

@_kant01 👍 This is why @TauriApps is so great, use front-end tooling for the UI and do the complex business logic in Rust.

js & ts are the easiest and most adaptable stacks—that's why they're everywhere. but go is amazing, and i'll use go in my next project and try rust. go, rust, and bun are great, but nothing can stand in front of js when it comes to ui. tell me if i'm wrong.

Digichain #samplechain and #audio conversion tool is now also available on @itchio! Updates to the main url will be mirrored on the #itchio released version 😊 brian3kb.itch.io/digichain #digichain #digitakt #audiotool

@adambuckley Lots of free samples on the @MusicRadar website :) musicradar.com/news/tech/free…

@brian3kb Amazing! Can you point me to a bunch of samples to get me off the ground with this?

#DigiChain 1.4.10 released before Christmas with several improvements and bugfixes. - Import samples and slices from #Renoise project files - Back to back reversed samples - Snap to zero with indicators - +more.... brianbar.net/2023/12/13/dig… #Elektron #Digitakt #Octatrack

#DigiChain v1.4.9 brings many under the hood changes, speed improvements, sessions saved between page refreshes, better generation of #Octatrack .ot files with per slice loop & file loop point setting. brianbar.net/2023/11/04/dig… digichain.brianbar.net #samplechains #elektron

Considering creating a custom multi-platform game engine for your small/mid-size game? Here you have a small library to enjoy the process: github.com/raysan5/raylib Need some support tooling for your custom engine? Consider taking a look to @raylibtech or outsourcing new ones. 😉

#DigiChain v1.4 adds many features and ui improvements. Create/import #drumkits for @jugendingenieur #OP1Field. Merge samples for A/B kits. Slice up the tape files loading tape.json into the sample slicer. Create #Octatrack .ot slice files. +more! digichain.brianbar.net

@jjbbllkk When I read 'my sibling', I fully expected an album by Jeremiah, mastered by Jeremy - but this is super awesome too!! (Although the other thing now needs to happen, can you have a word with Jeremiah please? 🙏)

Build sample chains easily and fast, perform batch conversions of wav files. Use those files on all your favorite hardware samplers. digichain.brianbar.net youtu.be/AZmhC3sYuV0 #DigiChain #Digitakt #PolyendTracker #PolyendPlay #Octatrack #ModelSamples #SampleChains
