Hope it works out well for you! Beyond mixtapes, I think it could be an interesting way for artists to distribute their albums. Next project: write some songs… :-)

Thanks for checking it out! Yes, for now making a new mixapp does require using the command line, but I’ve been thinking about making that more intuitive for those who prefer different interfaces, perhaps with some kind of browser-based UI.


You and I know what to do with an m3u8 file, but the average person does not. This approach makes it dead simple to get your playlist to the receiver (by packaging it as a static webpage), and lets them persist it indefinitely for offline use (by installing it as a PWA).


Pretty rough, eh? Especially on the horizontally panning shots. I guess I could have upped the effective frame rate to 10fps from 5, but that would have taken twice as long to record, and I wanted to let my GameCube take a break :-) Thanks for checking it out!


Thanks for checking it out! I actually finished the keycaps last, after all the other functionality. I figured if I was going that far, I might as well go all out.


Wow, thanks for watching! Yes, the next big project will be Labo-related, though I might post another smaller project in the interim. Labo is such a fun concept. I guess I get why it wasn’t a huge success, but I’m glad Nintendo gave it a shot anyway.


Thanks for watching! It was a lot of fun putting it all together.


It’s actually pretty comfortable though! Almost like playing Switch with split joycons.


Thanks so much for watching! In the beginning, I really thought it would just be the typing automation, but as time went on I had more and more intrusive thoughts ideas for features to add.
I happen to be a big fan of that 80s music video :-) I think this was the third time it’s made an appearance on my YouTube channel.


Yeahhh, it’s a membrane keyboard. Though I have seen others gut the internals and replace them with mechanical switches. I’ll see if I can find some keyboard communites to share to - thanks for the idea!


Thanks for checking it out! Glad you enjoyed it.


Yep, it uses an input buffer. I ran some tests it seems to max out around 45wpm. If you type faster than that, the characters will still be added to the buffer and get processed, but you’ll eventually have to sit and wait for the movements to play out (at about 45wpm). For reference, my best rate unassisted (using a standard GameCube controller) was about 20wpm.


$10 at a local thrift store! I used to see them everywhere, but this was the first I’ve seen in years…
Very interesting. I hadn’t heard of Faircamp before, but really like the concept. Thanks for sharing! My (very) rough idea right now is to make a website that lets users 1. drag and drop audio files from their desktop into the browser, 2. arrange them to build a mix, and 3. use WebRTC to connect with the receiver, who can then install the PWA. If I could get that working, it would eliminate the need to use the command line, unless you want to permanently host a mixapp.
