well after getting only slack notification…i asked myself…why not show also system notifications (only windows bc I dont even know if orpheus works on other os)
yeaaa tried like 2 diffrent approches….settled on using the windows lib creating a nother tauri command…anddd its sad this complete thing took me almost 4h just to see orpheus holding a letter…like not even stacking letters…just holding them…
and the scnd image is just the complete (hopefully final code for getting the image (got a little help by my friend deepseek for it in the end…i hate windows))

New Project

with friends

Airpods BUT HUGGEEE

Like AirPods Studio….and working

1. The Situation

we started out with a random single big AirPod we found in our Arts Classroom, the teacher said we could take it…so we did

At home I had some old sony speakers…a raspberry pi, my 3d printer…and to much time…

soooo i forced my friends Maxi (@Lumethra) and David (@Chroma) to come over for a lock in night…we call them archnights (called like that bc we install arch on random laptops) BUT THIS TIME….we are building this speaker…

2. The First Hours

Started to open up the old Speakers so we could use the actual speaker thingi, first only of the one bc then we would not need to have an amp or any powersupply except for the raspberry pi…figured out later that the 3.5mm jack from the pi was to weak to power the speaker enough…so we broke open the second one later too.

at first we also wanted to use a pi zero 2w…which would not have worked bc it has no DAC…meaning I needed to sacrifice a Pi 4b of mine for the aux port…The first actual success came when isntalling librespot and we heard the first music on that device…but not exactly what we wanted from the firmware…the goal was to connnect the “speaker” via bluetooth OR spotify Connect

3. The Middle Hours

then @Chroma started designing a case for the speakers to fit perfectly inside our AirPod (during that time meme and @Lumethra installed arch on a random laptop) the design was (i quote) pretty straight forward. What wasnt was me trying to make a firmware after…i jumped around from reading existing repos or better said trying to understand existing repos…to vibecoding random shell scripts…and mixing all that together to a kind of working script that makes it possible to connect to the pi via bluetooth or Spotify at startup…not being able to change it unless rebooting the pi…right now i am kind of happy with the result…mainly because I managed to implement a startup sound when the bluetooth is discoverable.

while i was coding this all together…the 3d printer started printing the case…only for us to realize at 5 am that the filament broke, meaning it needs to print all over again…plus we cannot finish the project tonight (very sadge)

4. The Final Hours

cannot talk about them, did not happen yet

good night
love you <3

Exportinggggg

so, thanks to chat, i now know how to make a working export command….and it only took like 2h to code myself…we are now able to export the print blocks to acctual python files…that can be runned on the users device (not ingame)
andd ig the pic just shows the most important line…where it gets saved lol

SOOOOO

we got a block
and that block has an interface
next up

• make an export command/block idc
• make it run?
• more python stuff
• eventually some hackatime :)

ouch….sooooooooooooooo

Tried like 3 different approaches to make the notification onclick work on windows…first the web notification api with onclick handler, then tauri’s notification plugin with
registerActionTypes, then even tried using the windows crate directly with WinRT ToastNotification.Activated events…none of it worked, turns out windows just doesnt fire any in-process
event when you click a toast unless your app is properly registered in the start menu with a COM AUMID which is a whole thing

ended up going with a system tray icon instead which is honestly the better solution anyway…left click opens the config modal, right click gives a menu with Open Config and Quit…no
buttons or text on screen, orpheus just sits there being cute which is exactly what i wanted

also cleaned up a bunch of dead code from all the failed attempts, removed the old permission flow, the test notification button, startup notification spam…its much cleaner now

next up…idk man…smth fun, like ui, or homepage…no more backand for now

(and sorry for calling orpheus he/him a few times, always forgetting it haha)

Got notifications tunning…sadly cannot manage to make the onclick work yet, trying several things for that…web api…tauri notification plugin…and one more npm package i forgot, and nothings seems to work rn…this is my biggest todo rn bc i dont want the actual orpheus himself have any text…or buttons or anything on the screen…thats why i have choosen to make the config over notification that should open a modal

soo, cleaned up the filesystem…aka dont have just one file anymore, but some more readable order….and tried making a slack notification helper…like when you get mentioned, a new message pops up in a thread you are in, you get a dm or smth…orpheus will show you, that part is not completely tested…soo could be that it does not work…dont know tho

sooo, quick one, addded slack auth again…for getting notifications….so orpheus knows that…but need to add some helpers and stuff now, meaning will be a small hustle to add that completely, also made a plan for the visualistaion….thank you, gooddd nighttt

Reviving my old project (and changing from slack auth, to hackclub auth…
