@davidrevoy @fasterandworse Its an evergreen for sure

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??))

@Nukumori (es war nicht dieses bunny hier leider )

Aber schön dass du eine nette Person erwischt hast

@desea

Posted about my sewing shenanigans on the big main blog even lol: https://lightnovel-dungeon.de/andere-blogposts/wip-on-my-first-jsk/

It will be sooo good when I make the real thing. Bunnies!

Also learning new things (from reddit of all things). You can seemingly gather (as in doing ruffles) fabric with a string: https://blog.treasurie.com/gathering-with-cord/

Could make my life easier with that tip maybe? I will need to test it for sure. Could make gathering for Lolita-Skirts easier.

@desea @puniko People are just really angry about it I think and being costantly bombarded by it since its taking over FOSS does not help I guess.

But yeah also did notice it is generally harder to get excited about tech atm. Its just dire. But Yeah I am with you "less you know what"-posting might be good for all of us.

Dunno if it is easy to do with all the things going on in FOSS about it....

I do try to do better (it may not work often ) but I also do not wanna leave friends and mutuals alone with bad thoughts about and rather uplift them... Its hard to avoid atm.

I did decide to hopefully do better in the future...

I could send my newest sewing-progress post your way ^^" We should really talk more about the cool stuff we do on here.

@aetios cute

@puniko a very monday thing to happen

@mametsuko tofu gets painted today! She is now a black cat!

(is this blackfacing already? )

Well I was very much doing stuff the last week and did a mock-up for the upcoming JSK (Jumper Skirt) Project I wanted to do for time now. I did some documentation for you along the way and made an actual proper blogpost out of it since I needed a bit more structure and formatting than what fedi provides me with.

writefreely is limiting me too much with its really bad image support so I have thrown one into the main blog as a hidden post. Have fun reading it:

@0x4d6165 I can talk to you about my current sewing project if you like.

Or some random mods/repais for a shitty laptop I have here.

But yeah I sometimes do some AI-Posting as well but try to avoid it. I am just tired of it ...
