In light of today's Apple Mac Pro announcements, I'll chime in... Problem: Building macOS desktop applications as an indie-developer. Project: Fileloupe for Mac and Videoloupe for Mac Fileloupe is a lightweight media browser that I actually announced on Hacker News a few years back. Videoloupe was just released and is a video player/editor in the spirit of the older QuickTime Pro 7. I work on both of these full-time…

uh wait... what Apple Mac Pro announcements?

Problem: Writing regular content for your product's blog is time consuming. Project: We are working on automating the content writing process. Articly ( https://articly.me ) is a automated content strategy and writing platform. You give us your site or product and every week our platform sends you a new article to post to your blog.

Neat-- Just applied to create content.

Problem: unsatisfied with package management on OS X / macOS

Project: rekindle an old project of mine [0][1]

Caveat: definitely works (as in I'm using it daily), but not ready for real public prime time as some meta+infra stuff still needs to be figured out. Will post instructions to get things running if some daring folks are interested.

I have to say the file size for File Loupe is impressive - only 5MB for all that functionality.

PS Is it written in Swift or ObjC?

Not to be critical, but isn't Homebrew or Fink good enough? What features does your package manager offer that are better than these active projects?

Problem: software developers want to hear about software needs in other industries.

Project: Opps Daily (http://oppsdaily.com) interviews people about the software they wished they had, and sends the interviews out every day. We then connect interested devs to the interviewee when possible.

Everyone is writing about their startups. My startup makes self-driving delivery robots (http://robby.io).

But that aside, one of the things I'm working on is trying to use RNNs to create a better digital piano. Even the best digital pianos out there are far inferior to a even a YouTube recording of a concert grand piano. One of the biggest problems I notice is the complete decoupling of resonances between strings; most digital pianos treat notes independently and just sum up the audio signals. In reality it's a giant, heavily interconnected physical system with tons of resonances and nonlinearities, and I want to see if some signal processing combined with backpropagation can be used to abuse a neural network to simulate the energy transfer in a physical system of that complexity.

I haven't been terribly successful yet, but it would be amazing if there existed an open source digital piano that performed spectacularly and could be plugged into an el cheapo weighted keyboard for decent piano sound.
