I posted in a comment above that I (well Codex) was able to get full Chromium running on it. It’s not fast by any means but is usable if you just want to read a web page on e-ink… …

Re: the software, I do think the on device software is good, if somewhat minimal, and the core writing experience is great

Yeah I got an RM2 cheap off there and I’m very impressed. It only really does one thing but it does it well. Personally can’t really see any reason I’d need a more powerful one, th…

This rocks. Such nostalgia. FT2 was how I discovered anything about music making - I loved the euro dance music I heard on the radio as a 12 year old but had no idea about the scen…

Ha I know the exact ones you mean well, going to the train from terminal 5? I couldn’t have told you what was up with them but they seem very inefficient and there’s always a queue…

I dig the look - check out https://boorch.itch.io/ for some similar lovely musical TUIs

Audiogalaxy was awesome. I loved how you could browse every file that had ever been online, rather than just what was online now, and queue them up for when they came online again.…

Don’t tell anyone! Haha

Yeah this reminded me of “the good old days” of the internet when every site felt like this :)

Hey Jules! This looks awesome, excited to check it out :) Hope you're doing well! Tom

Yeah I’m surprised by what a design misstep it was. The shiny corners of icons on iOS look so tacky and on macOS the corner radius mismatch is crazy. Also not a fan of the “bulbous…

Schwung is great. See also the recent new firmware for the Elektron Monomachine (old unsupported hardware) created using LLMs

FWIW you can bypass quite a lot of the Max visual stuff by using the JS support, which now finally supports modern JS (the v8 object). A lot of the LOM (Live API) is exposed there …

Ha yeah I have considered the same. There’s not enough info exposed via the Python or Max APIs (or indeed this one) to sync all the state you’d care about so I think the only optio…

The screenshots of RISC OS bring back fond memories of playing with it in our school computer room (which was mostly BBC Micros but had a few RISC) - mostly playing Lemmings as I r…

I have been using the app for years but literally just because I like the step counter widget. I had no idea it did all this! Will try it for sure. Cool read.

I hooked Claude up to Ableton’s Python API last year and it seemed pretty promising https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2WxSB75U6vg and more recently I created a skill for Claude to mani…

Yeah +1, at the start of my career (mid 2000s) all the web designs were done in Photoshop. I think this was true until 2010/11 at least, when I first encountered Axure being used f…

For you maybe but seems a reasonable compromise to hit the price point and I bet you’d miss it less than you think
