Ernest Hemingway - starting with “The Old Man and the Sea”.

After reading that, you’ll no longer think that Nobel Prize winners for literature write books that are difficult to read and understand.

Most of Steinbeck is similarly approachable.

I’d love to try this.

But… I’ve connected my Yamaha P-515 electric piano to my iPad, and it doesn’t show in the app’s “MIDI keyboard” dropdown.

Lots of Googling comes up with nothing helpful - or understandable, at least, to me, a novice when it comes to MIDI.

I’m writing this feedback, not because I want tech support, but because maybe it is helpful that a keen would-be user simply can’t get started.

Replying to myself:

I got it working by plugging my Yamaha P-515 MacBook Pro into my computer. The ergonomics of playing the piano while viewing on a laptop were awkward.

As to the game, well, it doesn’t do much yet. Just prompting me to play some chords. But it’s a start.

Congrats on launching, and good luck with the next steps.

Thank you for your feedback. It will be very valuable to me. Can I ask what browser you are using on your iPad? I guess Chrome will solve your problem on your iPad. I will try to look into it.

As you mentioned, this is a first step and the main goal is to help build muscle memory for common progressions. And also how chords solve into each other, not just learning the chords themselves.

With the great feedback I got here, I am planning to improve it so that more people can enjoy it.

Feel free to join the mailing list to get the updates.

They’re talking about Australia, and the robodebt scheme.

Read the Wikipedia article and you’ll probably feel outraged.

Unfortunately it seems that the thinking is more farspread, and this was the Netherlands [0].

Does it have dark mode?

That’s the horror park version, after they release the horror movie set in the Minecraft theme park.

The whole thing kinda makes me queasy.

The idea of hiding your business makes no sense. You need people to hear about it if you want customers.

Getting mentioned on forums like HN is exactly how a business like this gets more customers.

He is the founder of WP Engine, by far the biggest WordPress hosting service.

Is WPEngine larger than WordPress.com? Just curious since years ago WPEngine seemed like the scrappy small startup.

I enjoyed reading this book. It inspired me to simplify some things in the app I currently work on - and from which I earn my income.

Revenue, not profit.

My SaaS uses Cloudinary for uploading and storing images.

It’s not particularly cheap. But it is fast and flexible and safe.

My previous company used Cloudinary for the purpose and amazingly lot of time was saved.

This is an awesome strategy!

I want to print this out and put it above my computer.
