Show HN: I Built a Sequencer for the Web

https://minitap.io/

Hey HN!Last week I was working on a website and needed a way to synchronise visuals with live music.I've used MIDI controllers for this before, but I am travelling right now and don't have mine with me. So I had the crazy idea to build a browser extension that uses the keyboard as input and includes a sequencer. I gave myself 24 to work on it.It ended up taking longer (of course), specially...

Thanks for the pointers! Do you have any video/media/recordings of your experiments?

I thought the same until I tried!

As a matter of fact, lots of people over twitter have been sharing their frustration when they attempted to do the same thing.

This is the funniest one:

Here's some comments on my implementation:

Thanks for the nice words! Your plugin sounds like fun. In terms of using hand tracking for web games: my next experiments will use this setup to interact with 3D scenes.

Hello! I am the creator of this experiment.

Glad to see the conversation about hand tracking in the browser over here.

This demos is done under the context of a series of creative experiments on how to use real time hand tracking in the browser for creative interactions. Will be posting more experiments soon.

Tech background: I am using MediaPipe to control the hand rig in threejs. MediaPipe provides landmarks that are used to control a threejs Skeleton (hierarchy of bones with rotations).

Feel free to ask, I will answer any questions!

Hey, I'm the creator of Strapfork. Here's the link to the Live Theme I build in the video:

Re:Use Bootstrap, Nobody will Notice on Wednesday January 29, 2014 @11:16AM (#7144730)
I have different use cases in mind:

- A designer that don't know/don't want to write css. She can keep her design process and use Strapfork to create the css components.

- A designer that likes the workflow that Strapfork proposes (UI is part of the brand -> design components | design UI with mockups. Mix both in directly inHTML and have the final design in the browser, no need of photoshop).

- A backender that just want to customise bootstrap easy and fast.

Re:Use Bootstrap, Nobody will Notice on Wednesday January 29, 2014 @10:41AM (#7144450)
Jetstrap is much more like a layout/markup creator, with drag and drop interface. Strapfork is a customiser for the Bootstrap components, meaning that you can add styles to them. It generates css and documentation, but you still have to write your markup.

I should make that more easy to understand.

Re:Use Bootstrap, Nobody will Notice on Wednesday January 29, 2014 @10:34AM (#7144405)
Ouch, that's bad news... I used the dafult setup for tinyletter. Didn't expect that to happen. Anywaay, you can send me an email to jackjackbach at gmail, if you are still interested.

Thanks you for reporting :)

I'm sorry about the misunderstanding. About the spam... I'm the creator of the app and don't know the person who submitted. I'm not running an affiliate program either.

I thank the submitter, tho :)

Hey, I'm not sure yet. I was thinking about something around $50. Maybe more maybe less. What do you think?
Re:Show HN: Our weekend project - Pinstagram.co on Wednesday May 02, 2012 @12:12PM (#3919813)
Wow! I really like the ui and its simplicity.

Missing permalinks tho. I'd like to be able to visit /#!/nickname and see a user profile directly, for example.

Anyway, loving it!

Re:Ex Google PM criticizes new Reader layout on Wednesday November 02, 2011 @02:29PM (#3188239)
The current status is: app design and mark-up (html + less) 90% done, front end (js with backbone) 40%, back end (node.js + mongoDB) 20%, product page design and mark up 70%.

I'm so happy you feel like testing it :) you (or anybody that wants to) can contact me. My gmail is jackjackbach.

I'm working on this concept: http://forr.st/~wnA

Key features are:

- In the browser

- Twitter like articles stream (just post titles)

- Nice UI

- Pin to read an article later

- Star to bookmark an article

- Organize in folders

Re:Single Page Applications with Node.js on Monday May 23, 2011 @11:43AM (#2576299)
That would be awsome a node.js framework which helped to make this kind of single page apps. I've been thinking about that since I discovered backbone.js.

I'd love to define models just once and that they would work server side (using a ODM like mongoose) and client side (using backbonejs).

Is there something like this out there? If not maybe I'll try to make it this summer (having final exams at the moment).

Nice project!

After some use, there are some points I'd like to share with you:

* Everytime I save I create a new url. I feel bad, like I'm creating things I'm not gonna use... And this way I can't edit the already saved urls, so if I share one with my friends and then I want to change something, I can't. Maybe you could ask for an optional password before saving.

* If I create a custom CSS, let's say for dribbble, and then I click a dribbble link in the 'frame' in csspivot, the style is not aplied to the loaded page!

Btw, that's what I got: Dribbble Black http://www.csspivot.com/y036m (just for ff, srry I have no more time).

Good luck with the project! ;)
