TuneSage progress update 9

Getting closer to launching an initial version of TuneSage. I obviously bit off more than I could chew in creating the front-end. It still lacks a ton of features I’d like, but it’s just taking too long to program. I should’ve started with something much simpler. Oh well, too late now, I’m almost done. Here’s what I have left to do:

Front-end:

  • Delete track button
  • Copy / cut / paste sections
  • Melody / phrase options
  • Edit key signature
  • Ctrl+z undo
  • Export MIDI file
  • Finalize soundfont
  • Finalize icons

Back-end:

  • Use melody / phrase options sent from front-end
  • More training / styles

Overall site:

  • Create user / login
  • Boilerplate terms of service
  • Integrate user subscriptions (decide on a payment collector)
  • Create a landing page
  • Actually incorporate

I might just skip the front-end Ctrl+z stuff for now, because I’m not quite sure how to implement it efficiently and I’m afraid it might be too time consuming. Otherwise, I think I can finish the front-end stuff by the end of next week.

I’m not sure how long the back-end training will take, because it takes of a lot of tedious data formatting and trial and error.

And the final overall site stuff shouldn’t take long. I’ve never integrated a subscription service before, but I’m guessing most payment services make that pretty easy these days.

I’d love to launch before the end of the month. We’ll see how it goes!

1 Second Everyday : January 2023

Hey! Long time, no blog!

I tried doing “1 Second Everyday” back in 2020, but was only able to keep it up for four months. Let’s see how long I’ll be able to keep it going this year.

January was mostly boring and uneventful. Highlights perhaps include finishing reading the Russian classic The Karamazov Brothers (a more appropriate translation of the title than the usual reverse), which I thought was great and hope to post some thoughts on it at some point.

Definitely lots I hope to do this year, but a big problem I’ve been having lately is my bad posture while sitting at the computer. I can barely sit for an hour before I get a terrible sharp pain in the back of my neck. I guess I am hunching over too much. I need to somehow get my monitor higher or something.
