Hi, is there any way to contact you privately?

I would like to use this idea on a project of mine.

Sure. Feel free to DM me on Reddit (u/VentScape). Eventually I'll set up some @ventscape.life emails to use but I haven't gone through the effort yet

I love this. For years I had been thinking about creating a map where you can spot first and last sun in an area. Now that I’m actually tackling bigger and complexer projects I forgot all about that idea. Great job!

There’s an app on sidequest (for the oculus quest) that can track your piano and finger moves. You can input a midi file and then it sees you playing it and shows your virtual fingers. It might be possible to do hand tracking like that with an iphone. Have you tried concerting sound from a phone microphone to midi?

Hey thanks for taking the time to chime in (pun fully intended)!

> It might be possible to do hand tracking like that with an iphone

Yeah I’ve been floating ideas like that in my head as well, in fact another commenter just pointed out some promising tech. I’m still on the fence about the value add compared to cost of implementation and accuracy. One reason I like sticking to MIDI only is that it’s much much easier to keep it consistently good (assuming underlying connection logic is sound). The margin for error is so low here, you just can’t have the tech getting in the way of the music is what I am putting my bets on. I’m worried that hand tracking will end up being months of effort for something that ends up being about 75% accurate. Number is completely made up but hopefully my point comes across :)

If you mean converting audio data to midi, I’ve thought about it and ran away quickly after haha. Whoever solves this problem to a high enough degree of accuracy to be useful will be sitting on something quite valuable. I have my goal posts set a bit lower at first, on things I am confident I can deliver to the public, but I plan to revisit this in the future :)

Should’ve asked for 10 candles and only lit the first candle

I’m in the process of building an app for massage services to the home. There are formulas like 1 on 1, 1 on 2 and 2 on 2. This change would mean that I could make all of this happen without any in app purchases as long as the purchases are independent and Then linked together. Am I getting this right?

This is the laptop I have been using for 5 years now. As a web developer it is amazing that this 5year old mini laptop can drive a 4K screen through usb-c but driving too many stuff at once does slow it down a lot. Thinking about switching to the new iMac right now.
