I've been thinking through similar disenchantment with social networks and content distribution. Going back to simplicity with something like this is a great idea. Also, nice use o…

This project came out of some friends and I missing watching bad movies together. I'm of the mind that writing software takes practice. So it was a great chance to practice general…

I have seen some odd behavior but I haven't had a chance to identify exactly what is causing the limitations. For example one h264 video played correctly on the projectionists brow…

Thanks for taking a look! This works by creating a p2p RTCPeerConnection between the host (or projectionist) and each member of the audience. So the p2p aspect is a hub and spoke m…

It makes my morning that this might be useful to someone aside from myself. I went down a similar path trying to find something mindless to route traffic to small projects I tend t…

I really appreciate the response! I've added TensorflowJS and MagentaJS to my reading list. I'll pick out a couple of things implied in your comment, if I'm interpreting them right…

We spend so much of our time reading code - it's inescapable. I've become very interested in that experience and that aspect of software creation. In an initial attempt to figure o…

I've been enjoying "The Elements of Programming Style" by Kernighan and Plauger. Don't get put off by the references to Fortran, what they say applies to any language. "Structure a…
