Hey! I'm a web dev who plays guitar in my free time. Currently building open-source tools for musicians — chord charts, practice trackers, that kind of thing. Excited to connect with fellow musicians and devs here on mstdn.ca! 🎸

Open tunings changed how I think about guitar. Drop D is just the beginning - DADGAD opens up Celtic/folk sounds, Open G is pure blues/slide territory.
Anyone else go down the alternate tunings rabbit hole?
Found a site with 260k+ songs - free chord sheets, no paywall, no ads. Been using it to learn campfire songs.
chordroom.com if anyone's looking for chords. The browse by decade feature is surprisingly fun.
Creature design in games is an underappreciated art form. Each creature needs to visually communicate its role, abilities, and personality in a few pixels.
Pokemon nailed this. Monster Hunter nailed this. Even small indie games can get it right with thoughtful design.
Self-hosting tip: Ollama's REST API works perfectly with n8n's HTTP Request node. No custom integrations needed.
POST to localhost:11434/api/generate, parse the JSON, chain it with any n8n trigger. That's your entire AI automation stack.
Tired of paying for AI API calls in your automations? n8n + Ollama = zero cost, full privacy, local AI.
I've been running 11 workflows locally — email summarization, content drafting, lead scoring — and my monthly API bill is $0.

The 4-chord trick that powers 80% of pop music: I - V - vi - IV
In C major that's C - G - Am - F. Learn it once, play thousands of songs. Music theory doesn't have to be complicated.

Supporting indie game devs is important. These people pour years of their lives into passion projects that compete with billion-dollar studios.
Best way to support: play their games, leave reviews, tell a friend. It costs nothing but means everything.

That moment in an auto-battler when you accidentally discover a broken synergy combo and everything clicks...
Had this in Wilderkin League today - stacked two species with complementary abilities and suddenly my team was unkillable. 95+ abilities means there's always something new to find.
We reviewed IGN's review of Suicide Squad.
Their score: None
Our verdict: 4/10
The score was generous. Our patience wasn't.

Just shipped QuickMailBites v0.1.0 - a native desktop email client for the AWS SES+S3 workflow.
The problem: SES routes your emails to S3 as raw .eml blobs. Reading them is awful (aws s3 cp ... | cat). There was no good client for this.
QuickMailBites reads your S3 bucket like a normal inbox. Also handles IMAP and Gmail OAuth in the same app.
- Native Flutter app (not Electron)
- Linux, Windows, Android
- Keyboard-driven: j/k, r=reply, f=forward
- System tray, dark glassmorphism UI
- Free, donation-supported
