The downsides of being secure are a 5 minute setup, once. The thought process of "should this be secure?" is 10 minutes even if the answer is obvious. So why bother? Just be secure and move on.

Https does nothing for security. Its purpose is to authenticate financial transaction packets, not to be "secure". (Whatever that means.)

Security is: confidentiality, integrity, availability. HTTPS gives you two of those. Well, as long as you trust the CAs that came installed on your computer that is.

Hi! I was very confused about Glycol until I discovered that the desktop version of your site shows way more information than the mobile one. At least in Chrome for Android, you can only select demos to play and click the GitHub link. And GitHub recommends visiting glicol.org, so why do so many people rave about Glycol? Now I know :) I was wondering if you would be adding any IDE-like features. I like a few features…

there is also a cli: https://github.com/glicol/glicol-cli

You are not an IDE person, are you? : ) Sonic's default one has a few very useful features. Although, I personally don't like its keyboard shortcuts and they don't seem to be editable.

New stuff!

- Fixed another thing with desync between audio and visual

- Hi-Hat choking - when open and closed hat are placed on the same beat, the open hat is ignored and closed one is played on two channels as shorter note

- You can now hold mouse down to paint pattern

- Clicking on instrument label besides changing some instruments should also play a sound

- Fixed cymbal spelling

- Added clear and delete pattern buttons in "Create" mode

- Ability to paste text (CTRL+V) representation in "Create" mode, it doesn't have to be the full list of instruments, but the pasted pattern should have 16 beats, here is the example:

CH X-X-X-XXX-XXX-XX

SD ---X-XX-----XXX-

BD XX------XX------

AC X-XX--X-X-X-X-X-

That “usually” is doing a ton of work. I remember Vodafone injecting scripts into webpages many years ago. While trying to find a source, I bumped into other shenanigans. https://www.simpleanalytics.com/blog/vodafone-deutsche-telek...

Out of all the bad actors on the Internet, your ISP is the least bad.

That’s not a valid defence, it’s moving the goalposts and whataboutism. ISPs shouldn’t be bad actors at all and they have the ability to do the most harm.

Nice enjoyed playing with it. How long did it take you to write it? I have been involved in a couple of simmilar projects and I was surprised how much It took us, (we used TypeScript) on Next.js

Everything took probably around 3-4 weeks, but it was spread around a couple of months. I wrote custom web crawler for web archived 808.pixll.de, pattern extraction tool from crawled data. Then i worked on the pattern player and finally started working on the website. Originally i planned to write website from the scratch, but in the end i decided to use WordPress. I have too much side projects already:)

I really, really liked that you use WordPress - in my opinion it's a hugely overlooked platform for making really solid products / software. I've built a bunch of dashboards, SaaS tools and other things - once you understand the templating it's so easy to knock out stuff. Nice work!

Could you provide some kind of mockups of different bar patterns you would like to see implemented?

That link I sent is an example of standard notation I used when playing set. For accents, something like bigger or smaller circles could work fine. Purdie shuffle would look like: 1 2 3 4 hh |x-xx-xx-xx-x| S |-o--o-Oo--o-| B |o----o-----o| Or something like a basic jazz shuffle: 1 2 3 4 hh |x--x-xx--x-x| S |---o-----o--| B |o--o--o--o--|

looks like the original TR-808 handled triplets, see p.15 of the manual: https://cdn.roland.com/assets/media/pdf/TR-808_OM.pdf ; for example, the SHUFFLE and BOOGIE on p.13 of the sample patterns at the end of the manual.
