Throughout the month of March, I’m going to learn everything I can about Babylon JS. Over the last year I’ve spent a bit of time with A-Frame, Three JS, and Babylon JS. I explained my reasoning for settling on Babylon JS in the most recent episodes of Project Update. I have a history of spending…

As of today, I’m giving up on my half-baked plans to make consumer software. I just took Retrospective Timelines off of the App Store and I don’t plan on renewing my Apple developer account. There are a number of reasons I’m making this decision. I’ll try to list a few here. While I enjoyed the…

Summer Planning for Retrospective Timelines

By Joseph
Posted in ,
I am beginning the planning process for Retrospective Timelines 2.0. Below I listed some of the areas that I want to focus on this summer. My hope is that the latest round of updates to SwiftUI, iOS 14, and iPadOS 14 will enable me to make significant improvements to the app. I have only just started to learn about the new features, so I do not know…

    Recording:

    Unedited transcript:

    Joseph: This is just a test of the new Adobe Podcast app. It’s in beta and I’ve been on the waiting list for a couple of months and I got the email this weekend. So I’m talking into my MacBook with no microphone or anything, just using the the built in MacBook Pro microphone. And I’m sitting on my couch not terribly close to it and talking pretty quietly at my normal tone and not necessarily holding still or trying to be quiet. So. Yeah. That’s where it put this thing through its paces and see what it can do with mouth sounds and background sound or whatever. But yeah, I’m just going to talk for about, I don’t know, five more seconds and then I’ll stop and see what it sounds

    Notes

    • Editing is a bit limited
    • Exports are large and would need to be mixed down
    • Chrome only
    • Beta for now, pricing unknown
