For me the use case is 1. making it easy for the receiving party to receive and listen to your mix, and 2. enabling that mix to persist on their device indefinitely. Since I can’t necessarily count on the receiver to have a working CD player set up, and managing a bunch of loose files is a lot to ask of some people, I see this as a way to lower the effort required of both the sender and the receiver.

My theory is that the convenience of platforms like Spotify has eroded the cultural practice of music sharing that was so prevalent in the days of cassettes and CDs. I believe this practice can be restored, given appropriate tools. This is an attempt at developing such a tool.

The files are cached using the Cache API. This is durable storage that persists until the user explicitly clears their browser data or uninstalls the app. Once someone installs the PWA and lets the tracks download, they can listen offline indefinitely.

Thanks for checking it out! I actually finished the keycaps last, after all the other functionality. I figured if I was going that far, I might as well go all out.

Wow, thanks for watching! Yes, the next big project will be Labo-related, though I might post another smaller project in the interim. Labo is such a fun concept. I guess I get why it wasn’t a huge success, but I’m glad Nintendo gave it a shot anyway.

Thanks for watching! It was a lot of fun putting it all together.

It’s actually pretty comfortable though! Almost like playing Switch with split joycons.

Thanks so much for watching! In the beginning, I really thought it would just be the typing automation, but as time went on I had more and more intrusive thoughts ideas for features to add.

I happen to be a big fan of that 80s music video :-) I think this was the third time it’s made an appearance on my YouTube channel.

Yeahhh, it’s a membrane keyboard. Though I have seen others gut the internals and replace them with mechanical switches. I’ll see if I can find some keyboard communites to share to - thanks for the idea!

Thanks for checking it out! Glad you enjoyed it.

Yep, it uses an input buffer. I ran some tests it seems to max out around 45wpm. If you type faster than that, the characters will still be added to the buffer and get processed, but you’ll eventually have to sit and wait for the movements to play out (at about 45wpm). For reference, my best rate unassisted (using a standard GameCube controller) was about 20wpm.

Thanks for checking it out! I totally agree, the BlueSCSI is an awesome little device.

$10 at a local thrift store! I used to see them everywhere, but this was the first I’ve seen in years…
