I finished Microtonal music grid :https://newdawnowl.itch.io/microtonal-grid

It's a step sequencer that lets you play in arbitrary scales, and arbitrary even temperment music systems, and it's so simple to use a child could do it.

I finished a bill database manager in django. It sounds fancy but you just choose where a file is and where you want it to go, or where a file is, and say how much the payment was and why it was done. It's to help manage tax returns or the like. I made it very, very simple on purpose.

I'm working on a spending tracker, in django again, and trying to create an android app that can scan receipts so you can send data from pictures you take into it. I've got the DB running, I've got the android app sending data into a placeholder in the DB, and the next step is to create some adjustments to the android app so that you can clean up and structure the text into decent entries and put them into the db that way.

I need to clean up the microtonal grid codebase, put the bill db manager on my personal server, and start recording videos for publicity and code breakdowns and demos etc so I can build some kind of publicity arm.

damn. Good features. I was hoping to move onto this as part of the portfolio pieces/improve habits self hosted DB thing I'm working on, but for now I guess I can learn some of the things I don't know how to do yet (like shipping to other people!) from your team.

How are you planning on reacting to the android freedoms getting compromised? I'm literally working on the android app for mine now, and it bums me out that they're going to put more invasions of privacy for deploying apps to your own phone.

Also, are you planning to make money from this somehow? If yes, how?

Maybe try it from the other way around : look for tutorials that help you achieve your goals, and contextualise the tutorial to your project.

I am wrapping up the Django tutorial because I needed to make a database that held the information on where I put my taxes instead of just ramming them in the downloads folder. I just followed the django tutorial on the official website, but changed variable names etc to make it suit my needs.

I'm also working on improving my bash skills. I made a clock chime to learn cases :

maybe I need to bother the good people at the music department at my local uni(s)

Contributing is what you do to other people's projects once you are done making your own stupid things, and feel confident you will improve rather than ruin other people's stuff.

The problem is, things never feel like they are complete. There's always more you can do.

I might do some contribs to lichess once I am done with my current stuff.

Shameless plug : I recently finished a longterm project :https://newdawnowl.itch.io/microtonal-grid https://programming.dev/post/46248494

I'm trying to get established, I've just got a few more things to sort out before I can start putting stuff out there regularly.

I make music and write programs

This really sucks. I've had a very slow development on personal projects I wanted to do due to shitloads of management of personal issues and I am getting to the point where I can actually do some development during very specific hours.

My first project is nearing completion, and I wanted to move onto android for the next one as I want to use an arbitary tesselation as a music keyboard, so I basically need a tablet. I don't want to use mac/ipad because they demand a pile of BS, and it looks like android/google are now doing the same fucking nonsense.

I feel trapped on android and phones in general because I need them for 2 factor authentication for work/banks/govt id , so this is really awful.

if you hate JS and think it's dumb, but still have to use it, look into Eloquent Javascript (free) https://eloquentjavascript.net/ and the mozilla docs https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript.

Eloquent JS is written by someone who also hates JS, but understands it very well.

I used them while I worked on the Microtonal Music Grid (still in progress)

I always pronounced it Four-yey
