sunburn.nvim VS soundfingerprinting

A while back I read about the Oklab color space, and long story short I decided I wanted to create my own Neovim coloscheme. That led to sunburn.nvim[1], which aims to take advantage of the hue and brightness uniformity that Oklab provides.

At first I was using lush.nvim to build sunburn.nvim, but quickly it became a hassle to only be able to specify colors via RGB or HSL. My initial thought was a PR to add Oklab support to lush, but that framework does so much that it was hard to see where to start. So I ended up writing polychrome.nvim[2], which is a dead simple micro framework in comparison to lush.nvim, but does enough to take care of all the boilerplate, and supports a bunch of color spaces (which are converted to RGB on the fly).

I also wanted push notifications for when certain RSS feeds I follow were updated, because I suck at remembering to check in on things or check an RSS feed app. But I didn't want to pay for IFTTT or other bespoke solutions, so I wrote notifeed[3]. It's designed to run as a service on a server, and then check all your feeds at predetermined intervals and send the necessary webhooks based on your configuration. Feeds and clients are configured via the CLI and stored in a SQLite DB for simplicity.

Started 10 years ago as an open-source project, building an algorithm for audio fingerprinting. Added a commercial offering, selling storage built specifically for audio fingerprints, targeting enterprise customers. Since the offering was too technical (it's hard to sell solutions to problems that are too narrow and domain-specific), pivoted to more "business-oriented problems". This last year's pivot is a chance to finally grow. Running a business in single-player mode is, at times, too stressful. Aside from the technical part, which I very much enjoy, I need to wear marketing, sales, and customer support hats.

The OP said elsewhere they are using this[1] library, which allows you to specify minimum seconds to match, so you'd presumably set it to match 20 seconds or whatever minimum length podcast commercials usually are.

Most other audio fingerprinting libraries I've seen allow you to specify min/max time, as well.

HTH.

My goal for the next year is just to work fewer hours. Covid pushed my work habit to the extreme, and I need to rebalance.

1. Read more books, less social media/news.

2. Spend more time with my friends. I haven't seen some of them IRL for more than a year.

3. Exercise more, play tennis with my daughter, spend quality time with my kids.

4. Spend more time with my parents. They've become visibly older in the last years, an observation that scares me.

5. Focus more on marketing for the businesses that I've bootstrapped. All the shiny new features that are developed are not as important as getting more people to use your product.

6. Promote open-source project to 1k GitHub stars[1]. I know it isn't very meaningful, but it's just nice to receive a bit of recognition from the community.

7. Enjoy life, don't stress about all the little things that happen along the way.

Happy new year!
