I'm a fan of #Tangara, if only because it introduced me to beets. Figures that the FOSS community would eventually make a music organization tool that far exceeds the functionality and performance of...

Took me most of the night to get my music library imported into beets and copied/converted over to the SD for my #Tangara. But I'm listening to music now!

I'm also grateful for #Tangara for creating an opening to rediscover artists and albums from my past that I haven't listened to in years.

After using my #Tangara for the first time, I have a lot of ideas for improvements, mainly of the UI. It's definitely a V1.0 thing, but that's not a surprise, nor a criticism. What they've managed to...

The main issues I have with #Tangara right now:- Playlist support?- Lacking features for "now playing" queue - I can apparently add music to the queue, but I have no idea what's actually in the queue,...

- Needs shortcut to quickly get to/from the "now playing" screen- Screen should dim after a few seconds (I would prefer to have it also shut off after a time, but that would interfere with the function...

Features I would like to see, but that I'm not sure if feasible in the current iteration:- Using the vol buttons for playback control (double click to skip? Hold to pause?)- Supporting built-in...

To be honest, my #Tangara is getting me kind of excited about electronics again. Knowing that I can modify and customize this device as much as I want is sparking a lot of ideas.I feel like I could...

I was thinking last night about how when I was a kid I was obsessed with PMPs (Personal Media Players) and wanted one sooooo badly, even though I knew I never had a reason to watch video on-the-go....

I really think that #OpenSourceHardware will gradually change the world, because OSH devices will persist as proprietary devices become more complex, shitty, unreliable, and (most importantly)...

I'd love to see things like an open source refrigerator, microwave, toaster, vacuum, TV, etc. Again, not because an open version of those things would necessarily be "better", but because those devices...

I see this happening in the world of operating systems. Yes, Windows and MacOS exist and aren't going away anytime soon, but Linux has ensconced itself into the world now and it isn't going away...

Mwaahahahahahahahaha yesssssss! Wasn't very motivated yesterday, but today I finally got around to getting the build environment for #Tangara set up! Now I can cause chaos

FWIW, I compromised and made a quick tweak to how the now playing queue works because it was bugging me *a lot*.I submitted a PR to the official repo to make the default behavior of the queue to loop...

It's really cool to be like, "I don't like how this works. I'm gonna just change it." I don't need to wait for a firmware update to get pushed out. I can just do it. I know I have the requisite skills...

To be fair to myself, I did actually make my own sunrise lamp like 10 years ago. It was just a one-off thing though and I never did anything with it. Like, it was on a PCB I etched myself, and the BLE...

All of these projects have their own challenges, but a common factor for what stops me is the idea of it being open source. Like, not from a fear of people seeing my code and thinking it's shit (okay,...

In short, it aggravates my perfectionism to such a degree that the project spirals and scope-creeps until it becomes impossible.It's like every detail affects the entire project — a multidimensional...
