Thank you, the typewriter effect is surprisingly hard, requires a pretty complicated expression in after effects
got any more of these effects you'd put in that category?

wow that's a special honor. is there a way to search up the "specially invited" Show HNs?
There's a very incomplete list at https://news.ycombinator.com/invited - incomplete because it only includes posts that technically got an invitation link by email, but there are plenty of others. You can also look at https://news.ycombinator.com/pool (explained at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26998308 ) and find Show HNs in there.

i feel like someone could make "new aftereffects" just making the common things that people do easier got any more of these effects you'd put in that category?

fwiw that link is blocked for us: "Please log in as an administrator."
Edit: sorry - I gave the wrong URL. It should have said https://news.ycombinator.com/invited. I've fixed it in the comment above too.

Various products have done this over the years. Forget app, actual keyboards and guitars that light up. It’s not a good way to learn.
It's true that it's not a good way to learn, but it's fun for a little while. That's why an app on glasses for this is better than a complete alternative instrument; the app is much cheaper and should work with any real instrument.
> the app is much cheaper and should work with any real instrument.
Maybe if your instrument has keys or frets. Even if it was a good way to learn, it wouldn’t do much good for a trumpet.

An app on glasses would also not be a great way to learn. There’s a reason we don’t color code piano keys or right the names of the notes on them. > the app is much cheaper and should work with any real instrument.

When's the last time you learned to play piano? Yes we do. We take off those training wheels at some point but when learning to play for the first time, especially as a child, tools to help learning like the aforementioned do get used.
I am so unbelievably excited for consumer-grade, useful AR. There was a lot of hype around VR, but for the last 10 years I've been following progress on AR glasses. The thing about AR is that it has the ability to enhance everything in your daily life, versus VR which is meant to be a separate experience. Both Meta and Samsung are due to put out consumer AR glasses later this year and I think this might be the first…
I want one thing - tell me people's names. I have the unholy ability to say your name several times and have an hour long conversation, and still not remember it next time I see you. People take this so personally that I've started avoiding some social gatherings where I only lightly know people! I'd love to "know" the name of everyone I've met because I'd be so much more comfortable seeing and talking to them again!

I taught my 5 year old where C was and it took about 2 minutes.

Training wheels are an apt metaphor because they are a similarly wrong way to learn to bike. You get quicker initial results, but have to unlearn to use those crutches later on.

The fact that people actually want this level of surveillance in exchange for a tiny convenience is astounding to me.
