Hi, I built and continue to run GoFullPage! GoFullPage was temporarily taken down from the Chrome Web Store because of a copyright-related issue. This was not a security issue with the extension. We are working closely with Google on resolv

Love this! Are you exploring more variations in the avatar expressions or does keeping it more limited work better? Also, are there any unexpected positive or negative outcomes so far? For example, do people feel pressured to smile or anyth

Fun! The basic feature feels like a cross-platform/device way of doing the iOS Messages drawing feature.

Sorry to hear—my sister is in the same boat with alpha-gal from a lone star tick. It seems that very few people are aware of it.

Thx! If I recall, I think the blockquotes were the trickiest one in writing this. I used the same repeated element trick and overflow hidden, but getting the line breaks in there was the final missing piece: https://github.com&#x

Lol, loving all the comments asking what the usecase is or pointing out how it’s not functional. Here are some other things I’ve built in the past because the code and/or the idea was interesting to me: http://mrcoles.com&#x

What does the IDE look like? Or do I have access to a terminal where I can use something like emacs or vim?

Good stuff. That’s nice it outputs the commands. Have you considered adding a `[--dry-run|-n]` flag to see the command output in a safe way?

Cool idea! I think I’d feel more comfortable using it with some clearer documentation on what exactly happens. The itertools pydocs are pretty relevant (even if their code snippets are “this is roughly equivalent to…”): https://d

Interesting, beacons are definitely becoming more and more present and QR codes never caught on outside factories.

huzzah, the `activeTab` permission removes the request for all those gross permissions! Try it now, I release v0.0.12

by mrcoles 12y ago
actually, I’ll try out the activeTab permission… hopefully that will work. It’s hard to find time to maintain a side-project :)

I made a simple open source alternative a couple years ago after seeing that nothing in the webstore could accurately take full page screenshots: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/full-page-screen-c...

Hi—I built that extension! Thank you for using it. You can view the source code here: https://github.com/mrcoles/full-page-screen-capture-chrome-e... It’s malware & spyware free. I built the extension to take a scr

Each note is generated as a separate sound file when the piano first loads. They're all short wave files. So when you hit a bunch of notes at once, it's just playing several sound files at once. If you click the square in the uppe

That is awesome! Despite all the fun I had making this "html5 piano", for electronic pianos, you really can't beat having an actual midi device with weighted keys. I’m looking forward to all the future awesomeness with audio

That’s a fun idea. I directly used the existing keyboard mapping that garageband employs for keyboard to piano in their app, which tries its best to mimic a piano. There are lots of things that make actual QWERTY piano difficult, e.g., fewe

Oh, nice to know and cool products! I wrote this web app in May 2012—I don’t think iOS was there yet? I’m open to a pull request though https://github.com/mrcoles/javascript-piano but since the project was mainly a tes

try some of the other styles and volume responses by clicking on the square in the top right or hitting "?"—to be fair, everything sounds a lot more synth than real… but that wasn't my goal in building this project.

yeah, it can play more notes at once than an iphone screen could!

hrm… maybe my wording wasn’t as clear as I had hoped. It generates the audio ahead of time (as base64 dataURI wave files)—the on-the-fly part is that it’s generated in JavaScript each time you make changes to the settings, like wave-form an

hey everyone, I didn't see that this had been posted until now—I wrote this as a fun little experiment with audio in the browser. The main hack here was to generate .wav files at the byte level directly in JavaScript by using data URIs
