I don't use twtxt anymore, but I keep accidentally adding logs to it because the command I use to use !say is so similar to the shortcut I use to make !zet messages. So, some of my logs make no sense because they are out of context.

a zero dependency shell script that makes it really simple to manage your text notes [[https://github.com/nickjj/notes]] #links

1bitr is a one-bit text-based music tracker [[https://github.com/zserge/1bitr]]. #links

my tiny screen can comfortably display a text block of 45 lines with a maximum length of 79 characters. wonder what kind of information is possible to convey with that kind of information density... #halfbakedideas

put text in a box and center it: !boxit.

a western music theory textbook, but reimagined to actually make sense for computers instead of humans. #halfbakedideas

automatically generated #TeX equations implemented in !sndkit

being able to render TeX math equations to PNG files is pretty empowering, because it allows me to write about more technical things here that would otherwise be more difficult to communicate in plaintext.

figured out how to render a single TeX equation to a PNG file today: !render_one_equation

an extendable text editor inside of a Blit that tries really hard not to edit text. #halfbakedideas

a microblogging creative coding platform like dwitter, but for sound. users would be encouraged to remix, the output of one persons code would become the input of the new code. only text would be stored on the server, with audio rendered client-side. to save on time, there could be caches of frozen audio for remixes. #halfbakedideas

!txtvm, a text-based toy VM, used to run tiny domain-specific bytecode programs using only printable ascii characters. #halfbakedideas

It turns out that fts5 is enabled by default on SQLite! My twtxt2sqlite generator has been updated to use fts5. Now I can do full text search on all my twtxt tweets. I have implemented a related-tweets box in the !twtxt_playground as a proof-of-concept. More info on fts5 can be found at [[https://www.sqlite.org/fts5.html]].

Maybe it's just me getting older, but there is something very satisfying about seeing big chunky text on screen. Currently using an Atari font on my computer. Once your eyes get used to it, it's actually quite lovely.
