About magikMaker

Indie hacker who's been coding for 30+ years and still loves every minute of it! I build things that make me happy - from retro games to useful web tools.

Currently having fun with:

* InteractiveChordFinder.com - free online piano chord explorer

* tack.pics - free online tool to mark points and polygon regions on images.

* 8bitretro.games - bringing back the good old days of gaming

* whatsmyip.net - because sometimes you just need to know

* feedfabrik.com - RSS Feeds at your fingertips

* loanplannerpro.com - making financial planning less painful

Also sharing code with the community through npm packages like barva for color manipulation.

Always tinkering with new ideas. If you're working on something cool, I'd love to hear about it!

    You did manage to block scraping/fetching, but Claude can read a screenshot of your page just fine, see: https://i.postimg.cc/BQ9LPK19/claude.png

    I've added one more (major) feature: practice mode. I'll probably add a new post about this in a couple of days, but for those interested, you can already have a look here: https:/…

    A bit more on the sequencer: it's not meant for composing full songs, it's a scratchpad for testing chord progressions. You can adjust tempo, time signature, and note length to hea…

    I was literally about to order a new mac mini, until I noticed it only has 16GB max memory. How can they do this?! The previous model could be upgraded to 64GB, had 4 USB-C connect…

    I thought that, that maximum of 31 stylesheets is only for external stylesheets, the styles in this code are written inline, that should work just fine I think, but I can do some t…

    Good point, didn't think of that. I am also not sure how important that is.
