Working on a prototype in PocketPages. It's a bit rough around the edges but rapidly improving, and I'm having a blast.

Feels like the good parts of old school PHP development, with database and schema management built in, the ability to fall back to Go when you need it, real-time support and a Dart SDK for Flutter, plus other community-supported client APIs of course. About the only thing missing for me is switching SQLite out for something like Postgres if your prototype ever grows large enough, but since 90+% of them won't, I'm just not sweating it.

🎶 **Excited to Share My New Arrangement of "Thriller" by Michael Jackson!** 🎶

I had so much fun making this track come to life in my own style and couldn’t have done it without the amazing gear and incredible people who helped along the way!

**Special Thanks To:**
- **Viscount International** 🎹 for that iconic organ sound—big shout-out to Delroy White for taking it up a notch with some custom tweaks.
- **Yamaha Drums** 🥁 bringing the heartbeat of this track.
- **Audix Mics** 🎤 for capturing the drum sound perfectly.
- **Pianoteq** for that smooth Rhodes sound in the background, adding that perfect touch.
- **Nord** 🎹 used the Stage 4 for some awesome Clav sounds.
- **Surge Synthesizer** 🎛️ powered up tons of synth sounds! Surge is fully accessible and open-source, and for all my blind producers, this one is a must.

Shout out to Mike Gardner for making it all sound amazing with the final mix!

Check out these links to all the fantastic companies that helped bring this track together:

ARIA is great. /s

If aria-current had an HTML equivalent, this person probably wouldn’t have found aria-activedescendent and used it wrongly. It’s one of the main reason I want stuff that works well to get HTML equivalents. This should be a no-brainer.

Two can play at this game! Chinese sanctions against Skydio — the U.S.’s largest drone maker — have left the company (which supplies UAVs to Ukraine's military) scrambling for a new battery supplier. Yes, folks, Beijing has pulled the batteries from the drones. (The reason for the sanctions is the sale of attack drones to Taiwan.) ft.com/content/b1104594-5da7-4…
