Hi HN! I’ve been working on Typebeat for a year and a half, and I decided yesterday to make the code public. There’s also a website where you can download the macOS build and try an online demo:

The project was initially conceived as “vim for music”. All of Typebeat is controlled by the 30 main character keys on the computer keyboard. The result is a workflow that’s a little tricky to learn but fast to use once mastered. (So I suppose I nailed the vim experience in that regard.) If you’d like to see how I use it at top speed, you can check out this 2-minute jam I made recently:

Github page says, "I am not actively developing this project, but I may return to it at some point in the future". Is that still accurate?

[hkgumbs]

Yes, pretty much. It’s definitely cool that so many folks here have left positive feedback, but ultimately I don’t have the same bandwidth and motivation that I had when I started this project. Whenever those return, I’ll return to it. Until then, I’m just planning to chew on the core idea and take in everyone’s suggestions.

I think this is a perfectly reasonable default. thanks for making something interesting and making it available for everyone to use and/or learn from.

aside: it's kind of weird to assume that all projects on GitHub are constantly being updated for free. old projects are inevitably going to outnumber new ones on any system that keeps old projects available, unless that system continues growing at an ever-increasing pace forever and ever.
