Slowly hacking away on my open-source projects for music and audio: - VexFlow - https://vexflow.com - VexTab - https://vexflow.com/vextab - Pitchy Ninja - https://pitchy.ninja Also been working on experiments for chord recognition and music transcription (writeups on my blog: https://0xfe.blogspot.com )

Thanks! I'm creating a sight reading trainer using vexflow right now.

I just checked out pitchy.ninja, it's awesome! I've been struggling doing ear training and singing over the past decade. This will help!

As a side question, do you have any good resources or tips on creating music related applications?

I built a website that makes it easy for people to find ways to support their favorite NYC restaurants. Restaurants and their staff are having a hell of a time right now and it's not obvious to most people how they can help.

Save restaurants makes it easy to search restaurants by neighborhood and see if they offer takeout, sell gift cards or are accepting donations (with direct links).

I built it in 2 days using Zeit next+now and Firebase for the db. It's crazy how easy it is to spin up simple projects using that stack.

I got a really old and broken inflatable dinghy off Craigslist about 2 months ago for $30, and am rebuilding/restoring it. Right now, I'm about 16 individual Hypalon patches and 2/3 a quart of internal sealant in, with one tube finally sealed and the other most of the way. Once that's done (in an garage test, anyway), I'll bring it to a local stream to if it floats. If it does, moving on to building a floor out of plywood and putting together an electric trolling motor setup.

I'm dubious it'll ever be actually seaworthy, but I'm picking up all sorts of little skills and experiences along the way, like troubleshooting a Halkey-Roberts valve this morning that only partially sealed.

I'm writing a computer game called The Eldritch Zookeeper (https://store.steampowered.com/app/654960/The_Eldritch_Zooke...), it's a spooky management/tycoon game where you're a cursed zookeeper and have to run a zoo full of monsters. Very much inspired by old Bullfrog games. Lots of fun to dream up weird creatures and program a very data/systems-driven simulation that still uses lots of physics!

Indie game dev is my full time job, so this isn't so much a personal project as my regular job that I thankfully get to continue in my small home office. Getting to paint and animate and design monsters, as well as write code, or do the marketing parts - it's all interesting and engaging in different ways.

I'm building an web app that presents information of your pc, like temperature, memory and power usage and so on. The app will run in a raspberry, with a small screen attach to it, inside the pc cabinet. Right now the proccess to make it run is a little confusing, so i'm trying to make as simple as possible to run it.
