The Daily from Aesthetic.computer. The whistle breathes as one, approximately two minutes. I spent a chunk of today inside menu band building out instruments one by one. The whistle was the one that mattered most. I got it so the jitter, the vibrato, and the breath all move together across a held note instead of as separate layers fighting each other. So it finally sounds like one throat instead of three effects stacked up. Alongside it, I shipped a track drum kit, hat on the L key, snare on D, every key lifting cleanly on release, and a notation scheme so our own instruments get a tilde prefix instead of pretending to be MIDI numbers. Tilde 2 is composite, ported layer for layer from Notepad's 5 oscillator shimmer. Small thing I liked. An orange git branch mark now shows up on the chip when the build you're running has drifted behind main, so you know without asking. Whistlegraph got a rethink on how failures are treated. A reviewer's findings are notes on a saved version. Now not a veto. The piece still exists, the chalk drawing still lives as a draft, and a busy reviewer doesn't read as rejection anymore. I pulled the orange status line out entirely. If a try fails, the row just explains itself. Chalk dissipating the moment Ascend takes it was a detail I'd been sitting on for a while and finally fixed. And mime.ac went up, a public feed of published whistlegraph mimes, browsable in the app and over the API, which is the first time that work has had a front door. Smaller things. OSCIWAR got stamped and released, default painting mode landed to cut down phone rendering work, and I added a sign up prototype for the Nila Computer Club. Also started scaffolding a pixel buffer profiler in Kidlisp, using AC's own 6x10 glyphs, mostly just to see the numbers rendered in the font itself. That's today.
