Very neat. I was confused at first, I was like you can download the video screensavers.. why scrape the frames. Then I saw your comment and read I can use my own videos for desktop and lock screen. Great work! Dont bury the lede! A title with the hook of what and how would be super helpful!

Visit one of his houses. He designed and built them to suit and fit the client, like tailored clothing.

He also was pompous and designed something terrible for a lady who really wanted a house designed by him.

Completely agree. Though I'm curious on how you made vanilla JS universal -- how much duplicate/messy code was necessary for cross-browser and platform (mobile) ?

Aside from the pi, does the software stack work on any of these boards? Forgive me if I'm on outdated info but last I checked:

Espressobin hard crashes over 1G ram, was that fixed?

Tinker board software released / OS stability usage? I'm guessing no graphics still?

HiKey seems to have lots of Linaro support, no idea on actual usage.

Heard good things above ROCK64 but heard software was very poor initially, not sure if that fixed.

The rest sound doomed to old kernels and the dustbin. Speaking from experience of working with SBCs for the past 5 years and testing tens if not hundreds of platforms.

Ch. 1-6 in nand2tetris will give you the fundamentals of digital logic.

If your goal is a headphone amplifier/equalizer - I would recommend "The Art of Electronics" its much bigger but covers electronic design and gives you example circuits and parts which is what you're looking for.

It appears overwhelming but if you approach it with the same passion and process with which you tackled software, you'll be fine.

Anyone who actually and seriously (more than 30min per day in diffetrnt conditions) knows this is a gimmick. Visual focus on your enviornment is priority one, the HUD is distracting unless done very carefully. I was thnking of getting one to test but after meeting some of their exec team and senior management decided against it. Honestlly not surprised but sad to hear it for the rank and file enginner who genuinely believed in creating this product.

What your license for the project? If we wanted to use it, we'd porting it to Go and JS with our own stylized CSS.

Is the HTML generation with backlinks from an external lib or custom built for softcover? I'm working on a CMS and this would be fantastic to use as a module for writing articles.
