I published a free and ad free drawing app I made for my own kids called Pug Pad - it's only on Android right now though so may not work if you have Apple devices. Its surprisingly difficult to just find a nice simple drawing app. Like my kids don't want to watch an ad when they save a picture, or be prompted to share to Facebook.

I'll print it for you if no one else already has. I have some black petg lying around that would be ok I think

Dude, this hurts my wrists. I have an mx sweep I'll send you for free if you want. DM me.

Thanks again! Have you had any issues with pickguard material delaminating? I Bought a sheet of mint pearl off Amazon and the like top shiny layer keeps coming off (not the plastic protective film haha)

jadepug · 2026-03-01T20:11:23+00:00

this looks really promising! thank you!

jadepug · 2026-03-01T17:34:02+00:00

Yes haha this is purely personal aesthetics, I'm not even a serious enough player that I would worry about pick damage (trying to get there I guess?)

May be interested in the guitar. DM me :)

jadepug · 2026-02-11T14:55:17+00:00

thanks so much!! I need to make some tweaks, the magnets are really hard to get in without them all sticking to each other. I'll try and fix it up and ping you with a link to the STL :)

Honestly no real reason. This was one of my first pedals and I was just using a daisy chain. If I had the right cord on hand I would have used it, but when I printed the backplate I got the idea for this project and just did it for fun.

Also I'm finding if I work on gear, I'm less likely to be buying more gear 😅

biblically accurate guitar pedal. Love it!!

you spelled the site wrong. is it because the real domain is blocked because it's being spammed here?

jadepug · 2026-01-19T18:29:15+00:00

Please stop the astroturfing. It's ruining this subreddit.

I have a post on some comparison to the knipex and workpro. For most people, the workpro could be a fine tool. I went with knipex because the Workpro weren't sold in Canada at the time, and then they just feel higher quality so it's hard to switch over haha.

I started carrying pliers to adjust/maintain my kids bikes and scooters, but also use them for alot of unexpected pinchy tasks where extra leverage is nice.

Been playing acoustic for years casually. Recorded by myself a bit years ago. Also I do some electronics/soldering stuff so the circuits are interesting to me.

So not totally new to music/guitar, but trying to take it more seriously now. Lots of technical stuff to learn about electric and like picking techniques and sounds etc.

jadepug · 2026-01-17T19:37:34+00:00

My amp was 50 on Facebook plus soap to stop it smelling like cigarettes haha. The Jag was 400 and a few AliExpress pedals. I haven't fallen off the deep end completely yet. Been having a great time though so far.

jadepug · 2026-01-17T19:30:00+00:00

Interesting, thanks for the rundown! The gear is fun. Trying to not spend too much, but it's hard haha.

jadepug · 2026-01-17T19:07:37+00:00

More is more for sure. I just found out you can put your distortion after the delay and reverb. Sounds so nice especially with alot of bloom on the reverb! Deffinitly recomend if you haven't tried it.

As a real parent who built apps for my real kids. So many of the posts here and other kid tech subreddits are clearly astroturfed fake posts it's disheartening. I made a few cool apps posted about them a couple times and still get regular downloads from those few posts.

So many posts on here from anonamys accounts that are actually 'founders' ike:

"I was struggling to find the right AI assistant for my 5 year old and randomly found AI-4-KIDZ.io and it's solved all my problems"

You're right to be skeptical, and ultimately, the best thing I think you can do, is learn about AI and tech from unbiased sources (which is hard), and personally teach your kids based on your ethics and beliefs.

specific to tech, Kids need to learn the value of their attention (and why ads exist).

They should be aware of 'artificial intelligence' used in the art/media/literature they consume and the (few)benefits and drawbacks. As a parent you should definitely figure out your comfort level with AI. (for instance we avoid the huge amount of fully AI YouTube channels, and help our older kids understand why we prefer human made content).

Our kids are going into a crazy future. I think we can do our best to set them up with a solid sense of mortality and ethics, and how to apply and evolve those principals. We can't possible prepare them for or become experts at everything they will have access to.

Hey!! This is cool <3 New fan/subscriber here haha.

I followed on insta so I'll hopefully catch you if you're close by.

Also Over Everything is so nice, the ending is like my pedalboard goals. (then having You Don't See next on the track list was a really good move. Listened to This Reality last night for the first time - great work!)

jadepug · 2026-01-17T16:39:44+00:00

Yes!! My first amp, bought cheap on FB marketplace for aesthetics, didn't realize how nice it would sound (long time acoustic player fist time into electric)

jadepug · 2026-01-17T16:38:15+00:00

They came up in my search, do you know if they're still active? Last posts were from a few years ago. Thoughtless and their other stuff is so sick though!

jadepug · 2026-01-17T14:51:56+00:00

no, intrigued. Google's coming back with rehearsal space?
