Interesting. But do I get it right: if on band rehersal or public gig, if offline, then no sheet music? Or is there local bufferung / offline mode?

IMHO a very capable FOSS competitor for Obsidian is LogSeq (https://logseq.com/). I use Logseq since 6 month and love it. There also exists a Kanban Plugin for LogSeq, which I have not yet tried... https://github.com/hkgnp/logseq-kanban-plugin

https://www.meteor.com/ If you’re fine with MongoDB in the backend. Then you get a lot of speed in development and same language in backend and frontend. Plus view live updates on all connected clients as data changes in backend. And hot Code push to clients if new build on server available. I loved it when doing https://www.4minitz.com/ (retired FOSS)

For Geo-Location, maybe consider this workflow: User searches City in the iPhone Maps App (by Apple), then clicks "Share" button, then "Copy to Clipboard" - thenpaste this location into your app, you grab Longitude & Latitude from that and let users specify a radius. Bam! Complicated.... But no network needed.

Thanks, this is awesome. Colorized a few last images of my WWII grandfather who died in this war. One observation: on download the MIME type seems to by PNG format, but the binary file arriving is actually a (lossy compressed) JPEG. But anyhow! Great work!!

Quote from the Github repo:

_"The following criteria guided the development process:

Get the right glyphs. Like the actual ones. By now everyone's heard how the Matrix glyphs are some treatment of Katakana, but they also include a few characters from Susan Kare's Chicago typeface. The Matrix glyphs in this project come from the source: cleaned up vectors from an old SWF for an official Matrix product, archived back in 2007. That's how deep this rabbit hole goes, friends. (Please support the Internet Archive!)"_

THANKS!!! My 4-month-pending update now works. :-) Amazing how you guys keep the web up and running, while the planet is "sleeping"... Reminds me of the Nightwatch guys.
