If you're looking for something like a "typed Lua" I suggest checking out Nelua (nelua.io). It's almost 100% regular Lua syntax and compiles to C, so you get the nice syntax plus speed, similar to Crystal/Ruby. It&#

Local music files. Including MIDI songs, of course.

Did you manage to do it? I (also) failed miserably. It would be great if they added a Github actions script to perform automated builds on each commit or PR merge.

A nice and helpful thing is to include links to related or similar projects. Provides context and helps see a bigger picture or where a particular project stands.

If you're interested, I happened to write a simple forum software in Ruby a while ago. Indexable, light use of JS, nothing too fancy but it worked. I never open sourced it, but if it could help keep up some communities online I would h

There's a package called apulse, that tricks programs into thinking they are talking to PulseAudio while piping stuff internally to ALSA. https://github.com/i-rinat/apulse

I'm not sure if this qualifies as "mini", but mi chiptune/MIDI player [1] was written without the use of any big frameworks, even though it relies heavily on Javascript, both for navigation, visuals, and of course audi

Yikes! If it helps, mine is just a side-project, nothing serious. Yours looks great by the way. :)

If I may ask, what specific VSCode features are you referring to? I'm eager to know because I'm working on an editor for Chrome OS (based on the Monaco editor from VSCode) and would love to know whether they are part of Monaco or

+100 You shouldn't have to install Ubuntu or a native Linux app just to be able to write some code on a Chromebook. If you're interested, I've been working on a Monaco-based editor for Chrome OS (just like VS Code) that doesn

Generally the "serious" ones do, and if not then we should try to encourage them to do so. A few examples after a quick Google search: - https://www.linode.com/speedtest - https://www.futurehosting.com

Looks good, congrats! It would be awesome if you could include links for testing speed and latency for each provider (when available).

Chrome OS. Gentoo-based, but no package management available.

by tomaspollak 8y ago
Yikes, just realized it's no longer maintained. Timbre lets you do more advanced stuff in a simpler way (less lines of code), although the last time I used Tone.js was a long time ago, so things might be different now. Take a look at t

Tone.js is great! Also check out timbre.js if you haven't.

Yes! Video game music also gets me in the zone. If you're into oldschool games you might also enjoy http://muki.io . Pure DOS and MIDI nostalgia. :)
