I made a performant pomodoro timer for the web.
Won't lose time in the background (thanks to web workers), controllable via keyboard, and includes a brown noise generator for extra focus. It's free, enjoy ✌️

Love when user feedback leads to simple changes that make a huge difference! 🙌
Shout out to Exceptional7468 for the App Store review suggesting these fine-tuning arrows for the met bpm. Sometimes the smallest features have the biggest impact on usability ✨
Coming soon 👀

Been having some fun with Subdivide ads, but Bluesky insists on making the music skip at the end 🫠
Finally, a metronome that changes tempo for you.
No tapping. No guesswork. Just seamless tempo transitions built right into your tracks.
Speed up, slow down, or shift on a dime—Subdivide keeps perfect time the whole way through.

Subdivision Muting is here.
Turn individual subdivisions on or off in both the metronome and tracks. Build the exact pulse you need to lock in your timing and sharpen your practice.
Update now and try it out.

New update! Export your tracks as an audio file — as many times as you need — to share with students, bandmates, and friends.
However you practice or run a rehearsal, your tracks should work for you. Subdivide makes sure they do.

Quick prototype of a new @subdivide.app feature in the works. Mute individual subdivision notes to create whatever rhythm you want. UI is extremely placeholder, but you get the idea 🙂

My good friend and business partner @alecrichter.bsky.social started writing his thoughts about his career, where he’s taking it, and more. It's called Half a Startup and it’s gonna be good. Recommend checking it out.

🚀 New feature: Track Speed Control
With Track Speed Control, you can slow down or speed up any track—without changing the pitch. Perfect for locking in tricky passages or ramping up to performance speed.

Work in progress of a new feature for @subdivide.app. The speed multiplier makes it easier to learn a piece of music by starting out slow, or work on mastering an exercise by speeding it up.

Chipping away:
✅ Profile feeds load on scroll
✅ Notifications tab loads "All" and "Mentions"
Gonna smooth out some loading and performance before moving on to adding write functionality.

I've been working on a Posts.cv -inspired Bluesky client. It only shows @taurean.posts.cv's Posts feeds, so it should feel like home for those migrating from there. Still mostly not functional, but sharing early progress as I build it, and going to open source it soon!

Tempo changes don’t have to trip you up. Break transitions into smaller sections, focus on smooth timing, and use a metronome with automated tracks (like Subdivide 😉). Master transitions with ease—read our full guide for tips:
