I'm writing software to present audio and textual recordings of bible verses word by word in a similar fashion that some speech synths highlight words as they are being said in reader programs. This works with audio recordings from my own voice though. I couldn't find software that did this off the shelf. But thanks to Mozillia/Baidu DeepSpeech I have a complete solution now running in the terminal. I'll upgrade it tomorrow to produce broadcast quality 4k presentations via ffmpeg and a custom setup in imagemagick.

#32Working on my home assistant installation - slowly finding more and more ways to make it useful!

#33A few days ago I decided I would try to minimize content consumption (YouTube videos, forums..etc) and use that time to build small projects using cool tech like SQLite (among others like Next.js or Blitz.js + Vercel) as the base of the stack. I just finished the first one: [name-redacted][0] – a simple website to visualize your Bitcoin holdings value over time. It is powered by an SQLite3 embedded database, WASM (We…

Looks good. One critique I have is the slide-to-right animation with the chart. It's jarring. Animating the actual line from left to right or just letting the chart load in place would be better.

#35Working on a compiler for a “Universal Programming Language” and adding features to a Roguelike game in Unity I have been working on for a while.

#36Building a music-related hobby project to manage/organize my music discoveries (things I want to listen, things I listened to, things I liked) and easily share them with friends.
I'm building it in Ruby on Rails and Postgres. Trying to keep JS usage to a minimum and make it work without JS too. Recently I added support for Bandcamp links and I'm maintaining a changelog.

It was enabled by default. I just disabled it and now the experience is much better! Cheers, mate.

#38Trying to solve a large problem set from a statistics textbook. If I can finish them on time, I'll probably tinker with the simulations around those problems in R and try to build more intuition about hard concepts.
The rest is family time. I can perhaps sneak one or two papers to read that I really look forward to.

#39I'm working on GlosSurly - a strongly opinionated take on text markup / aka Annotation. The basic idea is to toss out HTML, and actually have layers of content that aren't interleaved with their markup. Markup will be layers on top of the text. (In a separate file, even) I've got lots of "pie in the sky" application ideas which rest on this.
I set out the main ideas for basic text structures a few days ago, and wrote up some test cases. Last night I had a vision of the test GUI I wanted to build... did the GUI, menus, etc... then started writing code to load the test cases, and parse it. Then the testing engine, and finally the actual code to be tested.
It's all a big hack right now, but I've got it up on GitHub - https://github.com/mikewarot/glossurly
Most of my tests pass... ;-)
I'm just happy to have something I can now build upon up and running. I was feeling pretty depressed as I've had eye surgery and have limited vision... this helped, a lot!
