Doing some fun things today. Testing coloring fabric with black tea!

I bought this lovely bunny lace for my ongoing project (The Lolita JSK). The only problem I had with it is that the bunnies on the fabric are rather off-white than white. So the lace would not fit the vibe.

Someone got me the idea to use like dye for it. So black tea it is. Looks good to me. Though it should lighten up as it dries. Will give you an update tomorrow morning.

From what I read online the process is pretty simple.

1. Clean the fabric in a mix of either salt or vinegar in water
2. Brew some tea (maybe make a cup for yourself as well 🍵)
3. put in the fabric / lace into the tea and stir from time to time.
4. When its done after one hour (for stronger colors you can leave overnight)
5. fix color with a mix of water and vinegar
6. wash in machine (not more than 40°C)
7. done

Also how long has this been going on for by now

A couple months ago I posted a clip of an app I made just for myself, and a bunch of you said “please release this.” So I did!

Cava Reader is an ebook + audiobook reader for Android. You load an EPUB and its audiobook, and it highlights each word as the narrator says it, karaoke style. The speech recognition runs on your phone, so it all works offline.

I made it because my brain wanders. When the words light up I never lose my place, and if I zone out for a second I just look back and the highlight is right there. (Same reason I always record my blog posts and post them next to the text. Friends with ADHD got me into that habit.)

also I made this video myself, and I’m way too proud of the little piano sync at the end lol

No account, no ads, your books never leave your device. There’s also a built-in library of 37 public domain classics you can read along with for free.

Reading and listening are free, read along on the classics is free, and read along on your own books is free for the first 4 hours. After that it’s a one-time $9.99 for the Full app. No subscription.

This is my first closed-source project and the first thing I’ve ever charged for. It’s the most effort I’ve ever put into anything, and it might be what finally stops me from dipping into my savings to keep Altbot running. If you do buy Full, thank you :)

Google Play, or APK / Obtainium: https://cavareader.app

Android only for now (sorry iOS folks, I don’t own a single Apple device to test on 😅 (for now… coming soon TM??))
