https://alex.miller.garden/sonic-circuit/ A weird and cumbersome web based synthesizer. In the examples below, double click on a node to trigger a signal in the circuit and produce sound. Here is a "song" that a friend made with it: https://alex.miller.garden/sonic-circuit/?2.9.C4.m.1.15,6.9.... And here is "Happy Birthday": https://alex.miller.garden/sonic-circuit/?3.1.G3.m.1.24,4.1....

I highly recommend being able to use a key like control, shift or alt aswell or instead of "command" .. Command equates to "windows key" on windows which brings up the start menu.

I wrote a stoichiometry library in rust to practice my numerical and linear algebra programming. I wanted a way to share it, other than as a command line binary. (This had the added bonus of letting me practice writing a web server in rust)

I have wanted to improve the equation balancer by implementing the linear system solver explicitly "in the domain of the natural numbers" (currently it's in "reals" -- i.e. float64) , which should be intuitive given rusts type system, but I haven't found a straightforward way to use any of the existing libraries as such.

Ooh i got several of those. The one I like the most is this:

https://github.com/obaqueiro/dominoparty

The idea is to make a minimalistic tabletop online multiplayer game engine that only draws the "pieces" and controls the player-hidden pieces but doesnt enforce game logic.

I tried to simulate the environment I had when playing dominoes with my friends in real life.

The idea of the engine is that you can change the "pieces" (cards, letter squares, domino tiles) and thus can play lots of games online with friends.

I built it at the start of covid to play with the family. But it has A LOT of rough edges, bugs in state keeping and the code is awful

I'd love to have time to improve it. Particularly to keep state using CRDTs via Yjs.

My wife is going through a cyber security program and needed to quickly get familiar with binary, decimal, hexadecimal conversion. So I made a little practice tool in React. It's been a few months since I did React so I had to take a couple hours to learn how you bootstrap React projects these days, then another couple hours whipping this up. More I want to do.

I've posted before, but https://beatyourbookie.app/ is what I've been working on for a while.

The website is for tracking betting lines and finding arbitrage and +EV bets across sports betting sites. I've been hooked on the idea that there are inefficiencies in sports betting markets that can be taken advantage of, especially in betting on live events and so this started as me just collecting minute by minute odds data from different sites and going from there.

I'm currently collecting all the data myself so my next step is creating a public API to allow other users to access the same sportsbook data that I'm currently using (https://sportsbookapi.com).

https://www.oncer.io/ Encrypted messages without history - for when you want to send an api key or password or the like and don't want it sitting in the recipients WhatsApp/Signal history, for example, or going over non-encrypted channels like email or Slack. And you don't want to set up a complicated encryption messaging thing. There are similar services already: e.g. onetimesecret, burnernote - but I wanted somethi…

This reminds me of Firefox Send.

https://muso.fm

An internet radio aggregator & player featuring music radio stations organised by genre rather than location.

There are tonnes of great music focused and specialist stations out there. TuneIn or RadioGarden don’t really make it easy to find the best stations for a given genre though.

I wanted to build it as a web app that’s usable as a PWA on mobile but have had lots of issues streaming audio reliably.

Also had issues with audio cutting out on web.

I’m currently rebuilding as the web audio API has improved things. Not enough hours in the day as usual!

I am almost ready with the music app that I have always wanted; a fully featured app for those of us who love to buy and listen to our own collection. Here is an introductory blog post: https://sakunlabs.com/blog/muziqi-intro/

Some of the features I am including in this version: - import music from the Music app (downloaded locally), from Files app, via a web server - a music visualizer, with three presets - waveform views - mark and store segments of a song - bookmarks - an equalizer and a bunch of smaller features, like pinning music to the Home view, remembering playback for an album or playlist.

I baked the first half of this little web game years ago: http://kerrick.github.io/dot-popper/

It’s playable, but in order to consider it complete I’d need to add instructions, a start button, a game over screen, and a replay button. And I’d want to add a color blind option, sounds, and a way to share your result (score & a screenshot of your final state).

https://ant.care/ https://github.com/MeoMix/symbiants I'm making a digital ant farm. SimAnt + Tamagotchi that runs in real-time. Written in Rust/WASM/Bevy The goal is to give people cute ants that do cute ant things 24/7, ask people to look after their ants and feed them once-per-day, and then deny the ability to provide ant care unless users engage in a breathwork/meditation exercise. I would love help. I'm very muc…

I dig it and love ants. Don't think I have time to help but thanks for making the ants :)

:) Thanks for the words of encouragement! Cheers
