Random ideas and half-formed concepts floating around in my head.

🎵 Audio & Music

  • Cross-platform Sample Manager

    • Every DAW has its own sample organization system and they all suck
    • Need something that works across Ableton, Logic, whatever
    • Smart tagging and search that actually makes sense
  • Discord Music Bot - 💿 DiscDJ

    • Miss the PlugDJ days of collaborative music sharing
    • Discord bot that recreates that social listening experience
    • Queue system, voting, room persistence

🧠 Creative Tools

  • Graph-based Ideation - 💡 Procedural Ideation via Graphs

    • Sometimes you need help making weird connections between ideas
    • Visual graph system that suggests unexpected combinations
    • AI-assisted but human-directed creative thinking
  • AI Interface Design

    • Everyone’s building AI tools but the UX is still terrible
    • What does good human-AI collaboration actually look like?
    • Need to prototype some interaction patterns

🎮 Interactive Learning

🛠 Technical Stuff

  • WebAssembly Experiments

    • Want to build something computationally heavy that runs in browsers
    • Maybe audio processing or data visualization
    • Still figuring out what problem to solve
  • Smart UI Layout

    • Interfaces that adapt based on how you use them
    • Machine learning for automatic element arrangement
    • Probably overengineered but sounds interesting

📚 Learning Goals

  • Rust Deep Dive - 🦀 Rust
    • Keep meaning to learn systems programming properly
    • Rust seems like the future for performance-critical stuff
    • Need a good project to force myself to actually use it

🗄 Dead Ideas

  • Brainforge - GitHub
    • Tried to build an Obsidian competitor
    • Realized existing tools were already good enough
    • Better to extend than rebuild from scratch
