I wrote a lot of code in July. Some of it was for brand-new websites, and some of it was for old projects that I wanted to make useful again. getcroc.com — for sending files ↗ samplingsequencer.com — for a new Eurorack sampling sequencer I’m working on wthrtxt.com — for local weather without all the clutter ↗ cowyo.com — for a minimalist collaborative browser scratchpad ↗ makemydrivefun.com — for finding strange stops along your route makestopmotion.com — for a hands-free stop-motion entirely…

TLDR: Make an animation right now at makestopmotion.com. It is free, it does not need an account, and your camera frames never leave your browser. Stop motion is one of those things that seems like it should be extremely simple: Move a thing. Take a picture. Repeat until the thing appears to be alive. The annoying part is step two. If you are working alone, the same hands moving the clay also have to touch the camera, press a remote, or keep up with a timer. Every solution adds a little…

I assumed that eventually there would be an update, a letter, or at least some evidence that my claim existed. Instead, I heard nothing.

TLDR: Open cowyo.com, type on a blank page, and share its URL. The page saves automatically and can also be read or written as plain text with curl. I first made cowyo in 2016 as a fast, self-contained place to jot down notes. Over time it became a small wiki, with Markdown rendering, history, lists, locks, encryption, and other modes. For version 3 I went back to the original idea: a pastebin for minimalists.

TLDR: Get a fast, uncluttered forecast at wthrtxt.com, or get the same forecast in a terminal with curl https://wthrtxt.com. I wanted a weather site that showed me the useful parts of a forecast without all the usual weather-site clutter. The result is wthrtxt.com, a small, free weather reader with current conditions, hour-by-hour details, a seven-day forecast, rainfall, and daily temperature records. One forecast, two interfaces # In a browser, wthrtxt.com can use your location or search for…

Skip the read, download the plugin here: oooo.audio. I love the process of creating tape loops for musical performances. It provides an assymetry, it keeps things off “the grid” and avoids the hegemony of the DAW to some extent. I don’t work with physical tape loops but have been creating SuperCollider patches and norns scripts where I’ve used a simulacrum of the tape loop technique for a variety of recent albums.1234 This plugin, called “oooo”, is the latest iteration of this idea.
