This might be my only use for it. I use it exactly twice a day for bloom and steep for French press.

But it does that quite well.

Same example: I search Spotlight for “Voice Memos,” a built-in Apple app. Nothing. Ask Siri? It’s horrible.

> Local playback tops out at 320 kbps. Spotify protects its lossless streams with DRM that librespot does not support, and Fastpotify will not circumvent it. This can change if lawful support lands upstream.

I was interested until this bit, and it is a shame. Not the developers issue, but man that's frustrating.

It needs to be more than that, I want to hear musicianship that has been honed and crafted. The struggle to find their sound. I'm fine with even an amateur musician learning their way around an instrument and being able to put something together that they tracked and mixed.

If a prompt returned the most perfect song, I would still not care to listen as that to me has completely divorced any human element that I would be interested in. Would not find it to be inspiring nor aspirational no matter how "good" it sounded so the models themselves could get exponentially better, but the manner in which it was created will prevent me from ever listening or caring about. It will always be hollow and lifeless.

Again, this is personal preference. If it makes others happy, that's great. In other many other mediums, I'm probably fine with that reduction in human-ness (where others may not be).

Yep, same experience (except Sublime with vim bindings) lazygit + lazydocker is really nice. Folke has done a great job.

Noted. I'll take a look. The visual-audio syncing I do want to be pretty tight. I'll be adding to and fixing the examples there, right now only a handful at the moment. Good find.

That’s a great suggestion thank you. I agree that would be helpful, will work on getting that in when I get a chance.

Hah, and nothing too deep aside from listening to some OSTs recently, being winter, and overall just struck a chord.

Have you tried using vim? Or rather nvim? If tinkering is your thing, feel free to completely do your own setup but out of the box lazyvim is pretty sane and you may not need much to get it to your liking.

But it’s very nice to easily able to extend or modify to fit your workflow. I’m just curious what people are getting out of zed that seems like vim has available.

Was a heavy sublime user for many years, slowly migrated to vim (first sublime with vim keybindings) but now daily drive lazyvim and the defaults with that are very sane.

Quick install on any platform and just works. And obviously plenty of configuration that’s available to you but if you haven’t I’d give that a go.

Recently had my first son and it’s a lot of this, but mainly time becomes more scarce. I’ve got a number of hobbies but much less time to do them and less inclined to allocate to do nothing-activities, so getting a drink at a bar (which I don’t drink really) isn’t likely going to fit in nicely.

Now if you’re into playing musical instruments, hacking together a little project, or want to workout together or perhaps play a board game that’ll be much more plausible!

This was all true before parenthood, but much more enforced now. I think this is why parents often remain or develop friendships with friends and who end up having kids in the same activities.

Yeah, this is my heaviest use case too. Mostly because it generally does save me a bit of time and is easily verifiable with tools like rubular and then can tweak what is needed once 90% there.

I’ve been building two things that kinda go hand-in-hand to scratch a few personal itches. [1] is an interactive fretboard tool for guitarists. I wasn’t quite happy with the way existing tools approached visualization, so I made my own. Too many felt littered with ads or just didn’t work the way I was hoping for.

It goes beyond just plotting notes there are options to show scales using intervals, roots, note names, etc., plus a chord mode that highlights triads, voicings, and inversions. I’ve found it useful for routine practice start the built-in metronome, pick a voicing or scale pattern, and run through it in time.

There are also pages covering theory topics like modes and progressions, but the fretboard’s the main draw. It’s something I built for myself and figured others might get some use out of too. I plan to keep adding to it as I think of more things I want to reference probably adding support for additional strings or tunings next?

The other solves a very specific problem (mostly out of laziness) I do most of my playing using the standalone Neural DSP application on Windows, but I don’t really want to do any mixing in it. So I built a dead simple recording application [2] that doesn’t require firing up a DAW, but still offers a decent UX. It lets me quickly capture riffs and ideas, and later I can just send them to my Mac for mixing if anything seems promising. Haven’t shipped it yet, but I’ve been using it daily and having some friends try it out.
