profchaos69··on Pianojacq, an easy way to learn to play the piano
I’ve been using piano marvel which does exactly that, and find it pretty great. The only issues with it are that it’s built on somewhat old tech and can be a bit buggy, but for actually learning pieces it is genuinely useful (I’m around grade 7) and also has method/technique pathways you can go through. I think there’s a free trial for it too.

profchaos69··on Show HN: Lala – Learning Japanese App
Looks good, although you might want a native English speaker to proof read the copy, doesn’t bother me but there are enough mistakes to be off putting to some.

Open source?
profchaos69··on Crux SQL
Does this mean I can use tools like https://github.com/metabase/metabase with crux? Awesome if so!
profchaos69··on Ask HN: What skills will be useful during an upcoming recession/depression?
Do you have any advice on where to read up on this sort of thing? I’ve always been interested but never acted upon it. Now seems like a good time to understand more about how our world actually works in terms of the economy
profchaos69··on Building a CRUD App with Datomic Cloud Ions
This looks promising https://juxt.pro/crux/index.html

datalog, high performance, flexible deployment options, open source. especially interesting for us because you can actually remove data for gdpr/compliance reasons. Datomic has a lot of trouble with that in our experience

There’s an open source ‘version’ of datomic with a lot of the same features (Datalog, immutability, as-of queries etc) called Crux, I’ve played around with it on side projects and think it’s pretty awesome
