Comments:

  • Posted early version on HN on 04-10, after fighting quite a bit of perfectionism, dread and shiny-project syndrome.

  • have to really shift my mindset for such a project; where quality is supposed to grow over time (with the data), instead of making it once perfectly and being done

Eval: FAILED

Make a tool that allow me continuous improvement for fingerpicking ukulele songs

Comments:

  • note detection in browser way more nasty than I thought

  • made some progress in a (non-gh) repo using pyqt, as seen in this tweet

  • Too unsure about data source for songs, data model, and how the math/feedback cluster can work

Eval: SO-SO

Comments:

  • Meeting with friend reschuled, no HN interest, thus lack of feedback
