PS I named this before vibe coding became a thing, promise :\

Renoise is great, but there's usually some compromise like using the tracker/vst's built-in sampler instead an integrated instrument (like Ableton's Drum Rack) or another VST (soft synth, etc)

Basically, what gbraad said.

Congrats on an impressive achievement and milestone. This is a great outcome, great work, and an indication of how far the hardware industry/tooling has come.

This feels though a little to me like building a simple SaaS service, and deploying it on a managed cloud service, and concluding all software is really easy!

This project is near to (if not at) the easy end of the hardware product difficulty/complexity spectrum. Some great choices were made to keep it simple and therefor easy.

An alternate take-away: "If you keep things simple, hardware doesn't have to be as hard"

I agree and appreciate you calling this out.

It’s easy to not understand the impact or meaning of referring to violence in a flip way when one has never had to have experienced it.

I’m glad to see someone else that loves objective-c as much as I do. It is delightful.

It’s a fantastic language and tools. I wish it had had more time to polish, expand, and potentially grow beyond mainly Mac and iOS before swift happened.

I bought a machine with a 75Mhz blue lightning "486" as an upgrade to a 386SX/20. It was sold as the budget 486 at the time, and I learned the lesson the hard way that sometimes budget really does mean a lot worse!

Performance wasn't great and compatibility was an issue more than you'd expect.

Hi HN - I built a Winamp-like audio player for Mac. I buy/download a lot of music and could not find an audio file player that was lightweight, made it easy to skip through and audition tracks, and native to MacOS.

I'm interested in feedback or anyone that would like to help collaborate on it, either programming or design, the latter of which could definitely use some help. Thanks!

I've got a working macOS Winamp-inspired music player I've been working on. I was thinking of open-sourcing - anyone here interested in something like this?

I bought two play:5 v1s from the Sonos web site in late 2014, so 5.5 years ago. Today they announce the are EOL in May. This wouldn't be so bad except for this part of the announcement:

"Please note that because Sonos is a system, all products operate on the same software. If modern products remain connected to legacy products after May, they also will not receive software updates and new features."

So if I keep my 5 year old speakers the rest of my system will also not receive updates and may become non-functional.

This kind of anti-customer behavior is a great way to ensure your evangelists abandon your brand permanently.
