Made this Vim rhythm game this past long weekend. I felt I didn't have any proper pressure to get faster at Vim motions while coding, so a rhythm game felt apt. Try it out!

Ive used firefox for a decade, theres only two features I want: uBlock origin on iOS (hard?) and PWA support on Desktop

Thanks for the kind words! As I briefly mention in my video, my teammate actually had guitar tabs going, with lyrics chords and even web scraping/search. I think a bit of refinemen…

I tried using lilypond actually but ran into an error that no one seemingly knew how to solve. Can try digging through my history if you're interested

Agreed! These glasses do look very normal - only tell is that at a certain angle you can see the green of the screen, and the part near the ear is a bit bigger (but easy to conceal…

Thank you!

This would make the most sense, since MuseScore is notoriously litigious about usage and redistribution of their library/MusicXMLs, so a collaboration would be necessary to get a u…

If I were designing around this limit, I would put enough memory to be able to store a nice buffer of bitmaps in either direction and then do sends that don't change what's current…

Yeah, it's a big deal for sure, I was bugging Mentra all hackathon to try and lower it, and also reached out to Even for suggestions (which Mentra is implementing). Regardless, I m…

Hi everyone, my name is Kevin Lin, and this is a Show HN for my sheet music smart glasses project. My video was on the front page on Friday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43…

I use stirling-pdf for this, ran locally with docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -e DOCKER_ENABLE_SECURITY=false --name stirling-pdf frooodle/s-pdf:latest Lots of features, OP you should d…

Another huge time sink is rotoscoping, e.g. in my video I rotoscope the legs of the piano bench and its a cool effect but it took almost an hour for those few seconds. AI has come …

For me, it's still easy to mess up for complex sections if I'm not peeking at the keyboard every so often. Its true that muscle memory takes over after you reach a level of familia…

A lot of the time is from the glasses themselves, but apparently Mentra talked to the Even CEO and next gen bitmaps will be much better

Thank you, the typewriter effect is surprisingly hard, requires a pretty complicated expression in after effects

Correct!

A fun first attempt I made at putting sheet music into smart glasses, collaborating with Mentra (YC W25)

I'm a (new grad) software engineer by trade, but for the last 8 months, I've been working on this amateur short film about impostor syndrome, which I think would resonate with a lo…

I wanted to make a Bad Apple video and I decided to try out the software 3Blue1Brown uses to make his amazing math explainers. My scope crept unbelievably hard until I was revisiti…
