[Post] Light/Dark Theme Controls, Vanilla JS edition

Convert MIDI player to NSF/SPC chip emulator player

MIDI files have a larger overhead than I thought with the sound fonts required to emulate instruments. Investigate using a chip emulator instead to play more authentic retro video game music.

Libraries to investigate:

• https://github.com/okaybenji/nsf-player
• Which is a branch of http://onakasuita.org/jsgme/
• Which uses WASM conversion of Game_Music_Emu
• The original inspiration at: https://github.com/mmontag/chip-player-js (fully realized chip emulator music player)

[Lab] Labs 2024

Labs released in 2024:

Experiments

Because my old animations page just seemed so bland AND because code completion via the Node ecosystem is REALLY nice when derping around.

[UI] Redesign 2022/23

It's TIME ⏲ TO R E D E S I G N

Build Goals

• Facilitate technical writing
• Fluid ALL THE THINGS: Layout, Text, etc
• Add persistent(ish) site preferences:
  • Light / Dark modes
  • Motion / Reduced motion modes
  • 🎉 PARTY MODE (see party section)
• Highly customizable (easy to patch in one-off functionality)
  • Viget vanilla data-module pattern? (dynamic imports by component, pseudo-Stimulus)
• 🔥 [HOT TAKE] 🔥 Future-proofing / Ease of Editing === Use as much native technology as possible?
  • Vanilla (but modern) CSS utility classes: CSS Grid, etc
  • Vanilla (but modern) JS: ES modules, native static and dynamic imports
  • No build tools? (Besides 11ty?)
