Hey dude... honestly speaking im not really doing this for traction. I use the0 trading platform day to day implement algorithmic trading strategies that run 24/7 365 some of them are conventional trading strategies and others are portfolio rebalancers. the0s a project that come a long way Ive been working on it for a few years now. The core architecture of it is complete. It more just implementing things I feel need to be there no major large changes.
As for Jolt this work is more expirimental truth be told I started it this year... Its far from perfect and honestly its more of a project that I want to take my time on it has way more scope that the0 and a protocal needs to take into account a lot of underlying pillars. I built this cause one day I hope that people can use online services without being locked into centralised platforms like Instagram/X/Facebook, or being subject to decisions of an organsation.
As for vibez its a bit more personal. I produce electronic music and primarily use linux. I also use windows and Ableton but I dislike how wine works with ableton on linux and them offering linux support, personally im not much of a LMMS fan and I dont use Ardour. Yes theres Reaper and Bitwig but I asked myself a question can I build somethings that free, open source and feature filled as one software engineer.
The main aspect of vibez is the workflow and it mainly came out of how I generally produce music. I jam a tune out (Perform), then they arrange it properly and then mix it down. I also have an MPC2000XL and just fell in love with the performance workflow from that hardware and tried my best to model it in perform mode. I also fell in love with the SSL type mixer channel strip and encourparated it into the mix view.
Just to conclude I spend time this way cause I love building things I can use and I want to share them with like minded people this is why they are open source, this is why the0 is at v1.14.0 its 78th release and counting. I build software cause I love it, traction secondary. I started programming when I was 12 with Visual Basic and Java; Im 32 now, and AI is simply the newest tool helping me continue doing what Ive always loved.
