#814It was an interesting project since there were so many unknowns, like can we really turn an offline desktop app into a collaborative one, can it be fast enough, can we port the graphics parts. It turns out you can! I have a semi-vibe coded landing page now, you can sign up to get into the alpha cohort: https://www.pcbjam.com/

#815In my living room I have a linux pc connected to my TV and I'm using this in 2 ways:
- Automatically set lights when media starts/stops playing. This way I can turn on some accent lighting when I pause a movie to go to the bathroom and automatically turn them off when I resume the movie
- When media is playing I calculate the color that best represents the content and export it to home assistant use it as a poor man 'ambilight' with a led strip strategically placed behind my TV
I think the next logical step is to find a way to automatically track the content I'm watching so I can have some high level stats about my viewing habits.

#817Been learning electronic PCB design the last few weeks while retrofitting some IKEA window shades for Zigbee enabled motorization. I've really enjoyed the journey of 3D printing and being able to create all kinds of mechanically useful things over the last few years, but I had always wanted to go even further and incorporate some non-trivial custom electronics. For this project I had a space constraint for the motor…
I wanted to see the schematic in a README.md on GitHub. (Saves me having to d/l the KiCad files, open them.) It would be cool if you added that to the repo.

#818It's deliberately minimalistic PWA that uses you mobile's sensors (camera, using lux levels and/or acclerometer) to count reps.
I included squats and sit ups later to round it out but it kinda made the name bad :)
