Same here, last time I did any form of origami was when I was a child, yet this article was fascinating to read from start to finish. It’s beautiful seeing how intricate some seemingly “simpler” (for lack of a better word) hobbies really are when you get into the details of it all.
This past week I made/forked something similar for macOS only.
There was a GUI for youtube-dl I liked but never could get to work called Get-It (https://github.com/Kevin-De-Koninck/Get-It), and with many people switching to the actively-maintained fork yt-dlp, I decided to try using that as a base for making a clone with the latter as a backend.
I don't know Swift at all but thought I'd try it out to see if I could, and it seems to work for the most part on my end. I also cleaned up random errors I found in the code (like a rogue youtube link to a Grand Theft Auto 5 video?) and made things a bit more consistent, or at least I'd like to think so. Changed the UI and added a toggle to block sponsorships from videos as well, but not totally sure if that works all that well yet.
I'd love if anyone would try it out and report any issues they run into, it's been fun trying to fix it up!
I tried switching to Capture One as well, and enjoyed using it for the most part, but I couldn't fully switch for one primary reason.
I'm still fairly new to photography and use a few preset packs that I've paid for as a base before making modifications to them to my liking. I downloaded a program that converts Lightroom presets to LUTs, and those worked decently, but they were visibly inferior due to the fact that the converter cannot handle camera/lens profiles.
I ended up just going back to Lightroom Classic for now, but hopefully once I progress enough to make my own edits from scratch I'll be able to switch back to Capture One.
Piggybacking off of this to come back to it later. I'm also looking for some side project to start that'll encourage me to learn more about programming while I'm still in school for CS.
I've launched some hobby projects online in the past but none of which are monetized in any way, and almost all of them ended up costing money to run or still continue to do so. I'd love to build something for practice (to start out), with the intent of it eventually being good enough of a service for others to use too. I'm just blank on ideas at the moment.
