This might be my only use for it. I use it exactly twice a day for bloom and steep for French press.

But it does that quite well.

Same example: I search Spotlight for “Voice Memos,” a built-in Apple app. Nothing. Ask Siri? It’s horrible.

> Local playback tops out at 320 kbps. Spotify protects its lossless streams with DRM that librespot does not support, and Fastpotify will not circumvent it. This can change if lawful support lands upstream.

I was interested until this bit, and it is a shame. Not the developers issue, but man that's frustrating.

I’ve been building something in this space as well, but with a broader toolkit [1] approach rather than a single-purpose interval trainer. The thing to me that's a bit jarring is the keyboard itself. Also, when it comes to ear-training (and while I've included this as well), without context it's not quite as useful. It's an area I plan to revise and really work on, but want to find a better approach. Good luck.

It needs to be more than that, I want to hear musicianship that has been honed and crafted. The struggle to find their sound. I'm fine with even an amateur musician learning their way around an instrument and being able to put something together that they tracked and mixed.

If a prompt returned the most perfect song, I would still not care to listen as that to me has completely divorced any human element that I would be interested in. Would not find it to be inspiring nor aspirational no matter how "good" it sounded so the models themselves could get exponentially better, but the manner in which it was created will prevent me from ever listening or caring about. It will always be hollow and lifeless.

Again, this is personal preference. If it makes others happy, that's great. In other many other mediums, I'm probably fine with that reduction in human-ness (where others may not be).

Fine, but you've now established this loop where one must find and analyze the human struggle in the music before qualifying an opinion, how does this jibe with deciding whether or not a tune playing in the grocery store has a catchy beat?

Do you run and grab your phone to id the artist before you decide to tap your foot?

Noted. I'll take a look. The visual-audio syncing I do want to be pretty tight. I'll be adding to and fixing the examples there, right now only a handful at the moment. Good find.

That’s a great suggestion thank you. I agree that would be helpful, will work on getting that in when I get a chance.

Hah, and nothing too deep aside from listening to some OSTs recently, being winter, and overall just struck a chord.

Have you tried using vim? Or rather nvim? If tinkering is your thing, feel free to completely do your own setup but out of the box lazyvim is pretty sane and you may not need much to get it to your liking.

But it’s very nice to easily able to extend or modify to fit your workflow. I’m just curious what people are getting out of zed that seems like vim has available.

I use both zed and vim, but the former for 'big' work because of:

a) file tree - I really like being able to 'root' the view at a directory, explore the hierarchy, and easily open any file within it

b) LSP - Zed's auto-formatting is it's best feature, for me

I generally like a whole bunch of things the gui gives me, but I would probably drop zed if I could get these two features working as well (or, at least, almost as well) in vi.

If it helps, I use the NERDTree plugin which gives a very decent file tree to vim.

+1 for lazyvim. I tried multiple times to switch to nvim from vscode, but lazyvim finally made it painless. love lazygit too. debugging in nvim also works like a charm.

Yep, same experience (except Sublime with vim bindings) lazygit + lazydocker is really nice. Folke has done a great job.

Was a heavy sublime user for many years, slowly migrated to vim (first sublime with vim keybindings) but now daily drive lazyvim and the defaults with that are very sane.

Quick install on any platform and just works. And obviously plenty of configuration that’s available to you but if you haven’t I’d give that a go.

Recently had my first son and it’s a lot of this, but mainly time becomes more scarce. I’ve got a number of hobbies but much less time to do them and less inclined to allocate to do nothing-activities, so getting a drink at a bar (which I don’t drink really) isn’t likely going to fit in nicely.

Now if you’re into playing musical instruments, hacking together a little project, or want to workout together or perhaps play a board game that’ll be much more plausible!

This was all true before parenthood, but much more enforced now. I think this is why parents often remain or develop friendships with friends and who end up having kids in the same activities.
