If you don't know what Maestro is:

> Maestro is an open-source framework that makes UI and end-to-end testing for Android, iOS, and web apps simple and fast. Write your first test in under five minutes using YAML flows and run them on any emulator, simulator, or browser.

I wonder if we can write an API w/ JSON the usual way and change the final packaging to send it over protobuf.

envoy (the proxy) can transcode RESTful APIs to internal grpc services and vice versa. you can even map like url params etc. to proto fields. it works well, even server streaming.

Sure... https://protobuf.dev/programming-guides/json/

I was pushing at one point for us to have some code in our protobuf parsers that would essentially allow reading messages in either JSON or binary format, though to be fair there's some overhead that way by doing some kind of try/catch, but, for some use cases I think it's worth it...

If you're using Go then this framework let's you work with protobufs and gives you a JSON rest-like service for free: https://github.com/grpc-ecosystem/grpc-gateway

I think this is cool! Honestly it’s one less click back into an IDE. I think I’d still have to hop back to commit to git, but it’d save me all the copy+paste time (esp w/ css styles).

I hope there’s a right click, “edit JSX” button.

CMD k instead of right click. But you have to have the dev server installed. We can’t edit source maps, we can only edit your actual source code. But there’s a full IDE in there so you can easily update the jsx code from your browser.

Hooray! Yeah, give it a try.

Oh I love this. And it'd be really cool to see that.

The current output isn't a particular format. It's purely text output that looks like this.

1:01 -----|A1--B1|----A3--A4|

1:03 -----|A1--B1|--A3--A4|---B2|

If you had a way to copy and paste that as a string of notes and visualize in a loop or some-how that might work. You'd have to figure out how long a note was pressed etc, so it may require some extra logic.

Oh yes, there's a lot of songs that are published in the tutorial video format, but the MIDI source isn't shared.

I’ve always struggled to keep up with piano tutorial videos. The notes fall too fast to make any sense for me.

So I put together a small tool called Piano Reader to see if it could catch the chords and notes.

I like this, and much needed.

That said, a simple hosted demo or code-sandbox would make this easier to demo and test as a user. It'd help to see the expected behavior as well. I don't want to checkout the repo or spin up a sandbox.

Nice suggestion! We are working on having a Video-editor studio based on Twick, hosted on our domain for trying out all the features. We will make sure to update it on Hacker News once it’s ready.

I've been working on an e-ink laptop. I wanted a machine I could stare hours at and feel okay about it. I didn't seem to find a device like that out there.

I'm designing everything from the chassis to the software OS. E-ink has its own design constraints. I'm building 5 apps for it: a browser, reader, mail, writer and code editor. It's still a ways to go. Here's a picture of what I have so far:

Depending on what your goals are just adding a Bluetooth keyboard to an Android E Reader gets you 90% of the way there.

I dabbled in hardware and I quickly found you need millions to do anything.

However, this definitely is a market waiting for a product. I’d lean towards looking if you can add a custom screen to the framework laptop.

That’ll be much cheaper to build and easier. I reckon you’d only need a custom Linux driver for the screen.

Thanks for sharing! Agree, building hardware hasn't been the easiest thing.

Interesting, I like the idea of a custom screen on the Framework. I'm sure that may come with its own challenges as well :)

My main gripe with boox is their closed source bloated firmware and no ability to unlock the bootloader.

hey maybe the kid that made the anyon_e would be inspiring for you!

Here's a couple related videos:

Huge inspiration! I loved the anyon_e videos. He DIY'ed the laptop and made it look really nice.

The site is unreachable for me

I have a 25.3. Flicker issue is real. I’ll have to try this out. Thanks for sharing
