Yin is a hardware accelerated animated wallpaper daemon based on ffmpeg alone. It is ipc controlled so wallpapers can be switched at runtime without restarting the daemon. It supports multiple monitors out of the box and is several times more efficient in memory, CPU and GPU usage for the same wallpaper than mpvpaper. It also supports runtime play and pause.

Recently discovered kitty has a launch bind, you can configure it to run an arbitrary program in the current directory. I've used it to run a task runner in any project i'm in. Hitting alt + t builds and runs the current project in a new tab that dies when the program dies. I previously always had two terminals open , one for helix and another for running commands. Thought this was a neat trick and decided to share it.

I did post an earlier version of this a few months ago and it got a lot of positive responses on this sub so i thought i'd share an update if that's cool with the mods. MyPitch is a completely free and open source Functional ear trainer that helps train musicians on identifying scale degrees in a tonal context. Available as a Windows/Linux app, Android app or web app.

Last time i showcased the highly customizable interactive quiz mode and the hands free training mode termed "pocket mode". There's now a melodic trainer, that provides a short melody and tasks you with obtaining the scale degrees within the tonal context. Highly customizable as well for all keys and octave ranges.

In addition to that there's a new "Folk mode" which is essentially a growing database of popular nursery rhymes, Hymns , christmas carols e.t.c but stored and presented as scale degrees. Folk songs can be transposed to any key and are aimed to be used to analyze the functions of scale degrees in real popular music and build a relationship with them. The ability to transpose the songs to any key means you'll never be practicing or studying the raw notes themselves but the feeling of the scale degrees and the fact that the degrees feel the same in every key.

You can try it in a web browser at http://saverinonrails.github.io or for much better performance grab a binary for your platform from the github.
