I feel like simple tagging system for hn submissions would fix that. A couple of predefined tags - single submissions should have at least one tag. User can define list of tags they want to follow and that's it.

Let me share this "fake" trailer i made for obscure polish movie that's is heavily inspired by Blade Runner visuals - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxfTouivTBY

It's called O-Bi, O-Ba: The End of Civilization (1985).

Another thing that might amuse Blade Runner nerds is my attempt at recreating Blimp advertisement video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VK1LJKtHj6Y

Yo! I love your stuff, especially noisecraft.app, great work! I referenced your projects when i was implementing sequencer for drum-patterns.com

Thanks for your work and good luck:)

I didn't say anything nasty, now you're just delusional. I had a feeling you were butthurt when you dug my profile:) Relax, calm down and then we can talk.

Yes, it is. I'm not really active on github (other than some toys i want to share with friends), i didn't even update portfolio on my website in over 10 years.

I'm happy to share my projects and contributions privately, if you're interested.

Yeah, i'm also webdev with a couple of decades under my belt and i cry from time to time seeing what happened to it in the past 10+ years.

Webdevs nowadays blindly follow "trends" that phase out every couple of years, without really bringing anything of the value to the ecosystem.

Well, i downloaded firefox extension and checked the size of only *.js files without any additional assests - and it's 2 megabytes. Mermaid is around 800kb, so it still leaves over 1 megabyte of javascript.

The amount of abstraction alone for the project of this scope makes me cringe. You introduce unnecessary complexity.

You claim to have 30+ years of webdev experience and yet 2 MEGABYTES of javascript only for those features doesn't feel/look wrong to you?

The improvements are nice, that's for sure. But i checked out github and it looks like overengineered ai slop, you could implement all the features with 1/10 of the code. But again, nobody cares nowadays which makes me sad. You even generated chrome/firefox logos using ai...

I used exactly the same approach years ago working on code editor with js evaluation - http://labs.onether.com/javascript-sandbox/ (this is some old version only with whitespace characters, it also had syntax highlighting but i couldn't find it).

Anyway, nice work mate.

This is brilliant! I'm gonna use it to prototype synths for my drum patterns/bass lines website.

Around a month ago i posted on HN my side project for sharing Drum Patterns, got great feedback and i've implemented most of the suggestions - https://drumpatterns.onether.com/about/#changelog

Still happy to make little tweaks here and there, since there are some folks enjoying the site.

What do you mean by non-wp login? Style the login page to match the rest of the site?

Bar lines and other time signatures are coming soon.

I like the search idea, added to todo.
