    Damnn interesting, that's almost the opposite of me. Is the high energy to get you motivated to do work or more just the style of music? I might give it a shot, I've never tried hardcore music

    What are your favourite songs to play while doing work? Personally I mostly like songs with no lyrics that have calmer instrumentals or ambient video game soundtracks. I made this Spotify playlist...

    Personally I mostly like songs with no lyrics that have calmer instrumentals or ambient video game soundtracks. I made this Spotify playlist with some friends and I'm curious what resonated with other people :)

    I'd love to help out with this! I'll see if I can find some time to get a Rust API up and running, but it would definitely be amazing to have all the third party clients work off a shared API....

    I'd love to help out with this! I'll see if I can find some time to get a Rust API up and running, but it would definitely be amazing to have all the third party clients work off a shared API. Thank you so much for your work with the Swift app, especially making all source code public :D

    Just wanted to put this out there as a little PSA in case it's helpful: if you want a cloud server but don't wanna pay anything, Oracle's Free Tier is a life saver. Discovered it a year ago and couldn't be happier I did, since I'd never pay for cloud computing otherwise 😭.

    Quick Specs:

    For free you get:

    • 24/7 uptime
    • 200gb of storage space
    • 24GB of RAM
    • 4 OCPUs
    • 4 Gbps Bandwidth

    That's been more than enough for me and honestly feels too good to be true. Some things I've done with this:

    If anyone has any other ideas for cool projects I could self host, please do tell I'm curious what else I could do :)
