Beauty and art are important for human welfare and are worth spending resources on.
vidcutter ultimately didn't help in this process. I built it from source and then tried the flatpak, but for all of its beauty, it hung or crashed when importing common but dated formats and containers, handling more than a few clips, and didn't allow precise jogging for splitting (when it didn't hang or crash). It's good for trimming up a smartphone video, but it's not on par with an NLE.
I ended up giving up and scripting out most of the project in ffmpeg and dvdauthor. If you know how to use core utilities, it's such an exercise in tedium struggling against underdeveloped front ends.
I feel like “Adopt an Abandonware” would be a pretty great source of meaningful, educational, and productive projects for devs with extra cycles or looking to refine skills.
I find it baffling that Microsoft haven't invested more in Access. The world needs a truly great desktop/mobile database solution! Excel isn't enough.
Regular human beings should be able to point a full database at their own problems.
Access is probably caught in a weird spot internally at MS. If they put effort into it then it just removes some of the need to sell proper SQL server or azure cloud database tech. Better to just limp it along then start internal wars with bigger organizations/products.
Isn't this really just a SQL GUI? Like basically any other SQL admin panel out there (minus the the writes)?
What's the distinctive feature here? The extensions?
I'd be leery of storing the music files in a git repo directly as MP3 tags and metadata are a wild west and some music players do wacky things like update ID3 tags with play counts, etc. on every listen (which would require committing and pushing music on every listen!).
