As an aging millennial I love these visualisations for music still, and it’s awesome to see them live on in this form ❤️

ProjectM, the spiritual successor to Milkdrop, is worth a ⭐️ if you’re on Github:

github.com/projectM-vis...

They’re modernising the library and making it better for integrating with applications.

Tell them to duck off, they’re quackers!

I'm sure there's some sort of company mandatory training video that told you not to do this ... 😉

The app is called flowvi.be The story behind the name - from early prototypes to the final shipping name

A couple of folks asked me about the name of @flowvi.be and how I came up with it so I decided to write a post about it flowvi.be/posts/the-ap...

#IndieDev #Music #Flowvibe #Playlist

Mate, that'll keep the Yacht running for a day or two!

Got distracted and added initial support for Widgets and Shortcuts 😅. Create mood playlists via your own workflows sounds cool. What shortcuts would you find useful?
#IndieDev #AppleMusic #IoT

Some adjustments to external playlists in my app flowvi.be: after you import a Spotify, Tidal, SoundCloud or Apple Music link, you can now manage the playlist and use it as the basis of a new mood! 🎵
#Music #Playlist

In the next update for flowvi.be, you will be able to set if the app will automatically turn on connected lights when you play a song.

My mother one of the biggest Tetris fans ever, was compelled by me to try Tetris in VR. She was really hyped and her smile during and after was worth getting the thing by itself. ☺️ All this in addition to a loving Christmas with family visiting me in the new far away city. 🎄

I Built a Task Manager That Automatically Kills Tasks You’re Ignoring 30% of my tasks are in the graveyard. I don't miss a single one.

I updated “Three Daily Goals”.
And I wrote why I did that software at all: newsletter.threedailygoals.com/p/i-built-a-...

An opera with a stage, there are many empty chairs next to instruments

At the end of the concert, the singers and musicians on stage next to their instruments. They are all dressed in colorful dresses and black and white suits

I went to a new years concert yesterday and it was truly amazing! 🤩 something I’ve been feeling positive about is my internship. It’s a super nice group of people and a great place to work. 🥳🤩 I’m happy to go back next week (Currently I’m looking forward to a small vacation with my best friend.🏔️)

I did a really big overhaul of Bartab, which not only makes it much more crisp and responsive but also sets up future development to be much more straightforward and easy to reason about.

Plus I get to dive into server side Swift some more which is always fun 😁

Book 3!

A black bird within 1.5m of me. My foot in the very bottom, black dustbins in the background

Me: Old mate, my blackbird friend visited me while I was gardening earlier, and got really close 😃

My feed is full of negative takes. I can prune and filter, or just not log in, but I’m wondering… what are your positive takes ?

What have you made, or felt really fucking positive about lately?

Sync lights with music, if you have any colour lights connected to the Home app, flowvi.be can now setup a scene from your Apple Music library

Deleting socials for a few days, have a merry one folks who celebrate ! 🎄

While working on the next version of flowvi.be, I stumbled on the Color.gradient API - combined with some materials ... I honestly can't get enough of it 😍

I’ve yet to play with the Android runtime, but looking forwards to it !

Today's work on VXKit (my GUI) involves being able to pass state values from views to children as bindings. Claude is hammering this out while I go tend things in the garden.

I'm 'dogfooding' now, with a small utility app for editing my Symbols mappings to fonts. It's fun 🤩
