Monogram has a 3 slider controller, plus it's modular so you can build something for your specific workflow.

You might be able to combine a small physical MIDI controller with a cheap phone/tablet for controlling more advanced features like envelopes.

A raised plexiglass shelf/cover, perhaps?

This looks great. If only I had the time and the skill to build something like that!

If anyone is looking for an even smaller (non-DIY) MIDI controller, Monogram and Intech offer really great options: modular, snappable desktop devices.

For a long time it puzzled me how few small controllers existed on the market, with the only ones I could find being DIY. Personally, I rarely need more than 1-2 knobs/faders.

That's a great tip! I bought an air purifier that has a very bright blue light illuminating the entire room at night.

Now if only I can find a way to disable its annoying on/off chimes.

Thanks for posting this! I am not planning any new projects but this is a cool example of implementing a micro-framework in Python. Might just use it as a reference to build my own.

As a side note, I noticed you have Flask tutorials, it could be interesting to make a tutorial on writing a framework from scratch using Microdot as a production ready example.

From what I understand "core" is a central part of a fruit.

I mean - yes? I understand what a stable identifier is. Having a unique user ID in a database doesn't magically enable likes on all features. But for the purpose of this discussion I limited my opinion to "public services", i.e. services with a social aspect, which overwhelmingly have this mechanic (to such an absurd extent that I can "like" payments made by people I don't know on Venmo).

Yup, I used to use them back then.

It’s a list, not a comparison.

Contextually I like the word "drop" more too. Saying that, I might want to sync a moment in time with a particular Yann Tiersen's piano phrase that's hardly a drop, more like a favorite bit that I want to hear right when the clock strikes midnight.

Right, I partially misunderstood your idea. For notifications and such you would need to modify the source code at a deeper level. But for just customizing the home feed (update steam?) changing the theme might be enough.

Ideally there should be a personal ActivityPub instance implementation, something that doesn't require hosting all Mastodon content and can be easily customized in various ways.

Hi. I like the concept but could not figure out what this app does before I read your comment. I am familiar with the concept of a "drop" in modern music but didn't immediately associate it with the feature. An example or a more detailed description could be helpful.
