Echoing @vilinskyy.bsky.social; “I believe my network is more important than any other asset I own. My network has thousands of resourceful people who helped me tremendously in almost every personal or professional venture.” I’m building Orbits, for the value in our human connections 💫

Tempted to build a small onyx MIDI keyboard. Maybe I use normal wireless QWERTY keyboard technology. I want the circuit board to be visible. The G component is the gear that triggers both (x) modulation and (y) pitch.

Been working on Sampler for the past few days. Performance could be better, especially for audio selection. Sampler is aligned to BPM, e.g., selecting an audio and slicing it with the 3rd knob of Sampler group in the control panel will randomly play your audio according to the timing of the BPM.

It gets so much worse once you start adding position too... What does a shape that 10.7 px x 10.7px positioned at (7.49, 3.22) even mean? Obviously you have to round a some point but... does figma/photoshop et all round to the device pixel? If not, how do they prevent jitter as you move?

Kinda tempted to make DJaying software on the Web for playing my ambient dance music at small parties, now that Summer is near. Can also imagine it using code made synthetic drums elements. And even more so, I want to also DJ from my smartphone.

So much of the local-first community is focused on the web platform, which I understand because it’s the dominant platform, but I’d love to see & hear more about LF in other contexts. Nintendo Switch, macOS, Windows, CLI, etc.
