Still hacking on https://riffradar.org/ and trying to make better recommendations on Spotify. Lately I've been experimenting with a couple of different recommendation algorithms, and will expose them soon as selection options for the different playlists. Signups have picked up somewhat recently and have ~800 MAU, which helps with trying out different things :)
Yeaah, second that! I use it on the AppleTV and across the rest of my devices! Works like a charm, and coupled with Tailscale I can access everything on my Nas everywhere :) I have it configured to use Jellyfin as the source, runing on said nas
It's still in beta unfortunately but this is Hacker News and it's okay to share software before it hits prod. People want to be ahead of the curve and it looks promising.
Absolutely, I never said it's not :) I'm just not a fan of the Discord distribution channel - but the reply above you said it's on AppleTV, and I might try that!
Does it do bitstream DTS and DV on Apple TV? If so maybe I’ll have to try. Also am I going old or is the whole join our discord to see what it’s about/download is the new norm on the web? My click through rate on that is about 0.
For a while now BetterTouchTool [0] supports Logitech mice [1]. It's paid, but it's absolutely worth its price. It's super powerful and you can do all kinds of funky stuff with it, not only mouse related. I would suggest looking into it if you want more advanced features, I've been a very happy user for many years now.
There's also SteerMouse, which I use to configure my MX Master settings. One of the benefits is it's not something that needs to run continuously in your menu bar: you can set options and close it. In the end, it's just a basic peripheral...
I used to use it (better mouse) before BTT added Logitech support - but wasn't really happy with it. Every single update changed something, mostly my cursor speed in some small, but sufficiently noticeable way and I had to adjust it every time, which was super annoying.
At some point my settings kept getting lost every time my mac went to sleep, and I had to restart the app all the time. I messaged the developer, but never received any response or acknowledgement and I just dropped it. It's a pity, because I did like it for a period of time while I was initially using it.
The one thing I use the most, and how I found it in the first place is that it allows me to combine key presses with mouse gestures/movements. In particular it allows me to move/resize the windows under the cursor just by pressing a key combination and moving my mouse. Many many years ago I used to use AutoHotkey on Windows for this functionality and was missing it when I switched to Mac.
Another thing I've configured is scrolling through a key press and dragging the mouse. Or opening a floating menu by using the thumb button on my MX Master3.
And that's only mouse functions, I have a bunch of other shortcuts/remappings/automations, many of which run only for specific apps.
Have a look in the forum - it's a gold mine and a lot of people have shared their presets.
I've had a paid licence for it for many years but I have ended up shying away from using it because the UI is just so cumbersome. An incredibly powerful piece of software though.
I haven't tried the LLM approach recommended in the sibling comment, and I agree that the UI is quite cumbersome. Yet, once it clicks, it's still not super straightforward, but it allows for quickly implementing whatever one needs. I guess the UI complexity comes with its extremely powerful capabilities.
Get an LLM to generate a preset for what you want - it's ultimately driven by a json config. There are quite a few presets in the forum as well for various functions
Been working on https://riffradar.org/ - better Spotify recommendations through playlists that update daily.
You start with selecting genres you're interested in and can see exactly which bands match your selection from your library (or globally). You can also tweak the playlists in a number of ways through advanced filters like excluding tracks you've played recently, release dates, collaborations, different sort methods.
Recently I added a new feature - select a few (or one) playlists and create a "mirror", with tracks belonging to the artists of your selected playlists.
Also there are a few other playlist modes I'm working on that will allow you to make more interesting selections.
That's neat! Would love to try it, but am also on iOS :/
With the risk of sounding like a broken record - what are people using on iOS? I've been using `SwiftKey` for a while as it has dictionaries for languages that the native keyboard doesn't have. But I would love to switch to something else, as M$ has been shoving AI features on it that I am definitely not interested in.
So far in this thread I've seen Grammarly and Nintype. The former seems to suffer from the same things as SwiftKey, while the latter doesn't look it's maintained (last update 7y ago). I don't mind a paid app, as long as it doesn't invade my privacy.
Native iOS is significantly worse than SwiftKey and doesn't support multiple languages without having to switch the keyboard constantly. In SwiftKey you can mix languages.
I'd also be very interested in SwiftKey alternatives, since MS already almost killed it once.
It is indeed supported only for some languages - you can check the link for which ones. And it's not only about recognising multiple languages, but actual functionality that it's missing. It doesn't have a Bulgarian dictionary and support for swipe in BG, which is what I need...
Choose your genres (and more filters) and get auto updating playlists from your music library. Also just added a new feature - select a few (or one) playlists and create a "mirror", with tracks belonging to the artists of your selected playlists.
Been working on and off on a Spotify recommendation egnine after getting tired of Spotify’s repetitive recommendations.
You get to choose the genres you're interested in, and it creates playlists from the music in your library. They get updated every day - think a better, curated by you version of the Daily Mixes. You can add some advanced filters as well, if you really want to customise what music you'll get.
It works best if you follow a good amount of artists. Optionally you can get recommendations from artists that belong to playlists you follow or you've created. If you don't follow much or any artists, then you should enable that in order for the service to be useful, as right now that's the only pools of artists the recommendations are based on.

I've been working on and off on something [1] that tries to address this problem through somewhat manual curation. You choose what genres you're interested in, and get auto updated playlists created from your music library.
I have a few other experimental features in the pipeline that will expand the music selection, but they are not there yet.
