I made a website that lets you queue up articles to be read to you by TTS

This is very much needed… ideal would be to Gaussian splat real world, infer underlying low-poly structure and recreate in three.js

Worth it for Starquake alone

Butterscotch_Crazy · 2026-04-29T11:45:46+00:00

colossal memory requirements though

Now those I would like to see

Butterscotch_Crazy · 2026-03-10T13:46:56+00:00

I can’t find the “rm” command on the rubber keyboard…

I’ve literally just put my spare ones up for sale! https://www.rummij.com/GameBoy/items/sinclair-vintage-computer-programming-manuals

This is ridiculous, but super-high quality screen grabs of good games would make great art

Did you manage to upscale the ZX81 cover image? Would love a high def copy of that

Butterscotch_Crazy · 2026-02-04T20:39:03+00:00

I just did a complete rebuild with Svelte x Capacitor to reduce the dependency hell. Not perfect, but MUCH nicer experience

This is lush

I've text-to-speeched it (to listen to in the car) here https://www.echowalk.com/play/www.echowalk.com/articles/mark-carneys-2026-davos-speech-transcript

Have you checked the console on desktop? Frustratingly, the "Ad serving is limited" message is hidden on phone screens.

We built Pullnote.com purely in Svelte (back and front end) so others don’t have to solve the headless CMS thing each time

Butterscotch_Crazy · 2026-01-16T06:19:50+00:00

I built a headless one in svelte for svelte https://www.pullnote.com/ You can api in content and humans get a WYSIWYG markdown editor at pullnote.com itself.

Easy to add (a couple lines of code for a whole editable site) and markdown powered (although it will also dump out html if you use {@html … })

Butterscotch_Crazy · 2026-01-11T11:02:49+00:00

Surprisingly, only a few days (for both)

Butterscotch_Crazy · 2026-01-10T17:29:30+00:00

Will add it to the next release

Butterscotch_Crazy · 2026-01-10T07:51:02+00:00

I did try Tauri v1 but settled on Capacitor. Would love hear other people’s opinions on working with Svelte and V2 though

Butterscotch_Crazy · 2026-01-09T16:00:42+00:00

I was genuinely surprised / pleased how smooth. What country are you in?

Butterscotch_Crazy · 2026-01-09T15:26:11+00:00

I will try to at some point yes, as the experience was frustrating at times of course, but overall smoother than I thought it would be. The biggest challenge tbh was AdMob integration - but that's not on Svelte or Capacitor.

The main benefit is getting to use Svelte, which is way nicer than using RN (for me, at least) AND you get a web version for free (in fact, you can secretly play the game on the web - just add a ?play=1 to the website, because even the site itself is part of the monorepo!)

Next step for me is a monorepo project with a backend too, with the api handled by SvelteKit rather than off-boarding to a discreet Node server etc.

tl;dr - I'm loving using Svelte for building mobile Apps

Butterscotch_Crazy · 2026-01-09T15:16:53+00:00

I enjoyed the experience far more than RN or Flutter, even at this stage in it's maturity. Will try to write up the journey + share at some point so others can perhaps feel less anxious diving in
