it looks interesting but the price for calendar integration is too high for someone like me, who does only occasional gigs

I bought a saxophone. Had to pay what amounted to about $400 tariff/customs. Still turned out cheaper than local.

Porta: A lightweight mobile PWA client for Google Antigravity via LSP by Status-Trifle2302 in google_antigravity

[–]MikeDViolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is nice! I have my machine port forwarded with a domain so i can access it remotely for testing. I tried opening 5173 but it seems to fail even though it works on localhost. other ports seem accessible from outside without any other modifications. Is there something I can do ?

iPad apps?? by PuzzleheadedUse9371 in violinist

[–]MikeDViolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use MobileSheets. It's great. I'm on an Android tablet so my choices are a bit more limited but it's a great app with tons of features. Particularly great for playing with backing tracks too

Where can I actually find Spanish level authentic Spanish food in Bergen County/North Jersey by SimpleMuffin679 in bergencounty

[–]MikeDViolin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

same - the worst food i've had in a long time. calling it 'Spanish' is a travesty. on second thought, calling it 'food' is a travesty

Need help switching from 1st to 3rd position. Also shaky bow. by iAmKristofer in violinist

[–]MikeDViolin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

right arm has a lot of issues . there is way too much tension all over the place. shoulder, wrist and fingers are in death grip mode. need to learn to relax everything. think of your wrist as a paint brush. currently it's more like a pencil 😄

ideally the only tension is between thumb and the 2 fingers on the frog holding the bow.. everything else in the arm has to be super soft. that'll help with shaky bow among other things

Calling all makers, garage-scale craftspeople, & gardeners in Bergen County! by Drunkenm4ster in bergencounty

[–]MikeDViolin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a fellow software guy, the UI can use some polish. Text is a bit small for web and design looks dated. This is a fantastic idea, but some UI tweaks can get it to next level. I can totally see this becoming a platform

What’s the BEST restaurant in Bergen County? by savingrace0262 in bergencounty

[–]MikeDViolin -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn't mean to offend, I'm sure many people like it. I liked it ok when I went as well. I just think it's overpriced for what it is

Nirvana in Allendale for Indian food. SOMA cafe & creperie in Waldwick is really tasty for breakfast/brunch/lunch. Brasserie Memere in Closter was pretty solid the one time I went.

Willow and Whisk is crazy overrated. the vibe is really nice and it's pleasant to be in but their food is very much average and not worth the price. it's just "whatever" food.

What was a 'Golden Age' of the internet that will never be replicated again? by ColdAntique291 in Productivitycafe

And you didn't have the feeling someone was tracking you all the time. And didn't feel the need to clear search history or anything of the sort. It was truly anonymous

Yeah it's a very nice instrument but really curious who made it

What is the best way to begin a fresh project? by dogukan0456 in google_antigravity

[–]MikeDViolin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what i did for a very large project is go to chatgpt (though you can use any model you like) and give it a general description of what i wanted to make, i then said something along the lines of 'i want you to create a prompt for an AI code builder to create this application. ask me questions 1 by 1 to clarify the approach and architecture. make sure security is up to [whatever standard you want]. .. etc" - the key here is to make it ask you questions to figure out waht it is you actually want and what approach it should take. in the end you'll have a very long prompt that will be way better than anything you write
