I’m a composer and engineer, my email is in my profile - Sounds like you could use a sounding board. I would decide _what_ you want to build before deciding _how_ you build it, for starters.

Is there something in the air? For me, there are So many threads of conversation (online and off, here on hn and elsewhere) pining for the pre-faang/commoditizing of the internet. Maybe just in my bubble? I love this site.

Great discussion. I listen actively to AM in the car and when I’m camping. We’re moving to the Olympic peninsula from Seattle this year, and I’m so excited to start pulling in Canadian AM stations - many stations from Victoria and Vancouver

I don’t have a direct answer to your question, but it did trigger a few thoughts I thought I’d share: I miss the crosstalk between print media and online community. It wasn’t too long ago where I would go into a venue and find the local fre

Lots of good advice here. I would add this: Actively cultivate a relationship with yourself. I find daily journaling rewarding - just venting on paper or into a voice recording app. After a few days/weeks/months of this, go back a
