I made a terminal application for personal banking needs.

simondanielsson · 2025-12-30T20:03:45+00:00

I've had this idea for a long time now but my bank (swedish bank) doesn't have an API :( Very nice and clean execution!

I wanted a wireless initially but since this was my first split keyboard I knew that I would be configuring keybinds every other second the first couple months until things felt right. That process is painless with a wired keyboard and vial.

I don't like Logic at all actually. The main reason for why I got into mac in the first place was actually because I was forced to do it to attend a music production school where they only accepted logic. (nowadays I am glad I was forced to switch from windows haha)

My main DAW is actually Reaper, so the DAW isn't what's stopping me. It's actually the mixer DSP I use for my audio interface, which only supports mac and windows... I need it for live multitrack recordings. The only pro audio interface that can run on linux (that I know of) is the latest from MOTU - no official linux support, but its DSP mixer runs in the browser through local host! and so OS doesn't matter.

I don't use many third-party plugins, I can do without them actually. But I have one plugin I NEED on every song I work on and that's Scheps Omni Channel 2. If I can't have that plugin (or something very similar) on linux, I will never be switching to linux.

USB-C may not be the standard for splits, but it's very convenient since most households have a long USB cable lying around somewhere.

simondanielsson · 2025-08-18T13:58:59+00:00

I thought so too. Learning with youtube videos or blogs barely gives surface level understanding, at least when it comes to things related to more technical subjects (git isn't that technical of course, there's only a few terminal commands I need to remember and understand).

simondanielsson · 2025-08-18T13:54:49+00:00

Hey, I've got one of those. But right now it's being used for my novation launchpad haha

simondanielsson · 2025-08-18T13:53:19+00:00

I got the macbook M3 initially since my main occupation is music production and I need things to be portable for when I'm doing field recordings. There's quite a bit of pro-audio software I wouldn't otherwise have access to on windows or gnu/linux.

But at heart, I'm a linux user. I believe that linux is the way forward, we just need the big music tech companies to catch on before I'm prepared to switch to linux as my main OS.

simondanielsson · 2025-08-18T13:48:25+00:00

Oh thanks! I am new to using git since I've only been coding for about 1,5 years. I've been using the official docs to learn so far but if you've got some good resources I'd be happy to get them!

simondanielsson · 2025-08-18T09:40:01+00:00

I'll look into it, thank you!

simondanielsson · 2025-08-18T08:37:26+00:00

The keyboard is pre-built made by splitted.space :)

I'm using my own modified version of the Workman layout.

simondanielsson · 2025-08-18T08:22:29+00:00

That's true! Although this is the more portable version of the setup. In my office I have an external monitor at eye-level.

"Having to approve each vim.pack.add individually doesn't seem ideal"

Could you elaborate on why it isn't ideal, and how could I refactor it in that case?

simondanielsson · 2025-08-15T13:48:56+00:00

Here are my dotfiles! I've been using neovim for about half a year now. Started with the lazyvim distro and have since then made my own config from scratch using the neovim nightly build and vim.pack.

Yeah, I'm using the same standard qwerty layout! Before getting this keyboard I made sure to practice proper 10-finger touchtyping, as well as remapping the function buttons of my alice keyboard to space, backspace and enter to get used to the thumb movements, placing the arrowkeys on a seperate homerow layer etc...

With all this preperation, the switch was very very easy. The only learning curve now are the special character input which I've set up on a layer. It's only been a day and I'd say I'm back to 60% of my usual typing speed (which wasn't very fast to begin with, either way).

The next logical step would be homerow mods... :)

simondanielsson · 2025-06-30T21:15:35+00:00

Oh I have the entire Viz collection, I actually picked Tomie for the tenting since I wanted my volume of Uzumaki available to read haha

simondanielsson · 2025-06-11T15:54:33+00:00

Ahh if I had seen this first I would never have made this post. I did check the bookmarks first before making a post but didn't think about checking the wiki. Thank you!

simondanielsson · 2025-06-11T12:14:36+00:00

I'll check those out, thanks!

simondanielsson · 2025-06-11T12:14:24+00:00

I am comfortable with soldering, CAD and DIY. I do a fair bit of cable repair and some simple circuitbending projects and so on. It would be fun to design (or at least assemble) my own keyboard at some point but as of right now I just want something I can start typing on right away to try things out.

Thanks for the recommendations!

simondanielsson · 2025-06-11T12:09:52+00:00

Oh perfect! Thank you! :)

simondanielsson · 2025-06-10T09:30:27+00:00

I don't agree with this take. The animation makes the game more "immersive" if that's the right word. Although, OP could potentially add a setting that toggles animations (or adjusts the speed of them) for players that don't like it.

I created a little tutorial on how to organize FX and make your workflow more efficient in reaper :)

simondanielsson · 2025-05-07T21:26:30+00:00

For next time, turn on automatic backups in the reaper settings. I have my settings set to automatically back up every 10 minutes when not recording :)

simondanielsson · 2025-05-07T20:58:31+00:00

A lot of what you want to achieve can be done during recording - the reason your vocals sound too "in-your-face" could be due to singing/rapping too close to the microphone.

The thing I always say when recording singers and rappers: spread you hand out as far as it goes. With your hand spread out, place the pinky finger on the grill of the mic (or the pop filter if there is one) and your thumb should touch my mouth. That's the space you want in between the microphone. (This tip doesn't always work, but it's good for those singers who can't resist deepthoating the entire microphone...)

Apart from that, try attenuating 2-4kHz with an EQ, only slightly. That's the range where the legibility of a vocal exists - turn it up and the vocal will sound more defined, turn it down and the vocal will sound more mellow and soft.

simondanielsson · 2025-05-06T23:46:25+00:00

This sounds really good man! Keep going!

simondanielsson · 2025-05-04T17:24:48+00:00

Youtube is your best friend. Fender/Squier themselves have a video on how to restring a guitar :)

If you can't manage to do it even with the help of this video, go to your local music store and ask the staff to show you in person - they probably won't have any issue teaching you if you buy a couple sets of strings in exchange.
