There is https://www.verovio.org/ which is both easy-to-use and really well maintained.

Also have a look at https://www.verovio.org for a pretty complete but still free solution.

Great project! I had to laugh at the very first question I got, though: "Who is the sponsor of the video?"
Re:Pocketbase: Open-source back end in one file on Sunday January 07, 2024 @04:48AM (#38899893)
Have been using pocketbase in production for a mobile app for a couple of month now and so far it was a _very_ pleasent experience. Together with the JS SDK it is now my go to backend framework for everything where I don't need specialized libraries (like ML stuff etc.)
Pocketbase on a very small VPS for the backend and SolidJS + TailwindCSS for the frontend, served using caddy.

I never had any problems with "continue your last output".
Re:The Mystery of 355/113 on Thursday October 20, 2022 @12:22PM (#33277004)
Same here. When I was a kid in school, we all had those TI-89 calculator that one could program using Basic. When first introduced to Pi and the concept of irrational numbers, I made a script to find close matches. 355/113 was the closest I got with the slow calculator and my (most probably) very slow code.
Just to add one more to the conversation: I have found "FancyWM" to be a real productivity booster. For some reason it is pretty unknown, though.

I can only speak for myself but having a fun (but non-trivial) hacks side project helps me to actually prevent burn out.
