    Falcon Player

    I use Falcon Player to run my show. This is software running on a Raspberry Pi that I upload my songs and light sequences to from xlights. FPP is configured to know where each light is plugged into on which pixel controller (small lighting computer). These controllers sit on my network and FPP pushes the data to them to play the songs/light sequences.

  • Svelte

    Cybernetically enhanced web apps

    Wait up... I mentioned I did this serverlessly.. which bit is serverless? well, all of it. I implemented it all using Serverless Stack and Svelte. Both are amazing pieces of technology to build a web app with, even for a newbie developer like me. Check out their tutorials, I literally built my entire app starting from this simple example.
