My new video synthesizer app for iOS.

https://www.chromatose.app

For creating & performing unique visuals on the go.

Freemium w/ access to all features (just a 2 patch save limit).

Focus and awareness of the breath is exactly why I created my iOS Breathwork App.

Re:Oration (iOS) Turns PDFs into Audiobooks on Monday February 12, 2024 @04:44AM (#39343127)
I love the idea and effort, but when I first tried using it I got a network timeout error when I tried uploading 1 chapter of a PDF book (45 pages, 7MB).

Very nice offering. Only suggestion for improvement would be a live preview when editing the parameters.

And likely also “creating a better experience” by injecting ads :/

Dang. I was hoping it would be virtual cards combined with something like Coin[1]

This article unfairly picks on Angular. The issues mentioned are the same for any rich single page app.

Nice work.

FYI the flash blocker in chrome doesn't register that there's flash content on the site. I had to click around quite a bit in order to get an option to enable flash.

Better yet, you should use the Web Audio API and fallback to flash for unsupported browsers :)

You should offer a direct link to the started app (without having to click the button). This way users can plug it into websaver or something and make it a screensaver.

If you want flat use Ableton Live. They've been flat since before flat was cool, and it's a much better DAW IMO.

It's unfortunate that single comment threads dominate the entire discussion on HN sometimes.

Funny to see things like this when Google retired Reader b/c "...as a company we’re pouring all of our energy into fewer products".
Same here. You might want to consider making the "try it now" button/link more prominent and above the login form. My 1st instinct was "Oh I have to sign up, forget it."

Thanks. More documentation is on my todo list... please stay tuned.

I have a similar more light-weight project template that requires no installation (except node). Pith auto-generates test module dependencies and uses Backbone too :)

Once again lack of Go support in App Engine

"jQuery Knobs" sounds like a term for dickish jQuery enthusiasts.

Will be my first one, but see you there.

What's funny is that many of these same companies will later spam users with surveys to illicit feedback.
