Indie hacker who's been coding for 30+ years and still loves every minute of it! I build things that make me happy - from retro games to useful web tools.

Currently having fun with:

* InteractiveChordFinder.com - free online piano chord explorer

* tack.pics - free online tool to mark points and polygon regions on images.

* 8bitretro.games - bringing back the good old days of gaming

* whatsmyip.net - because sometimes you just need to know

* feedfabrik.com - RSS Feeds at your fingertips

* loanplannerpro.com - making financial planning less painful

Also sharing code with the community through npm packages like barva <npmjs.com/package/barva> for color manipulation.

Always tinkering with new ideas. If you're working on something cool, I'd love to hear about it!

Really cool!!

Interesting! It defaults to "search", so it took me a second to understand to actually switch to "ask" in order to use the LLM. I'll check out the github repo to run it myself.

A bit more on the sequencer: it's not meant for composing full songs, it's a scratchpad for testing chord progressions. You can adjust tempo, time signature, and note length to hear how a progression feels at different speeds and rhythms.

If you change the scale or mode, you can. update the chords (click the update button) to reflect the new diatonic chords, so you can quickly A/B the same progression in, say, Ionian vs. Mixolydian.

I have some ideas for what to add next like for instance PDF export with chords or MIDI export, but I'd rather hear what would actually be useful to you. What would make this tool part of your workflow?

I just created this game that I call countdown. It's really simple to play but actually quite hard to solve. I find it really difficult so I'm curious to read what you think. Let me know.

I was literally about to order a new mac mini, until I noticed it only has 16GB max memory. How can they do this?! The previous model could be upgraded to 64GB, had 4 USB-C connectors (instead of now 2) and the option for faster ethernet. It really sounds like this new mac mini is a downgrade from the previous model. I wonder if the new M1 chip/architecture really makes that much difference to make up for the downgrade of the rest.
