#ftvt — Public Fediverse posts

Based on a feature-request by @[email protected] I’ve now implemented the ability to add custom text to my voice-training app (#FTVT), meaning it will definitely be in the soon-ish to be ready 2.1 release.

For testing-purposes I created the following text:

Nya, nya, nya!

Meow.

MEOWWW!

NYAA!

Nya.

I’m currently working on my voice-training app (#FTVT) and despairing at the communication with the service-worker: I can send a message to it, it can receive it and I can send a response. But no matter what I try the response never arrives with the original content-script…

(My code is here and here)

Anyone any ideas?

#serviceWorkers #webdev #typescript

I’ve now set up dev.ftvt.fiona.onl to serve the latest development version of #FTVT, my free voice training software; ftvt.fiona.onl is meant to from now on only serve the latest actual release, making it less likely to be sporadically broken.

If you want to run a mirror (please feel actively encouraged to do so!), get into contact with me, I’ll gladly explain everything to you. (It’s literally just serving a few small files from a URL, there is literally no server-component, which is largely intentional!)

Without claiming that there aren’t obvious things to improve or that it is “finished”, I just decided that the current version of my “Free 🏳️‍⚧️ Voice Training”-software (FTVT) is ready for a 2.0.0 release:

You can find my instance of it here.

This version is essentially an improvement over what was there before in just about every way:

First of all, it actually has a version-number! The reason this is version 2.0.0 and not 1.0.0 is simply that the older version of the software was for so long in actual use that calling it anything less than 1.0 would feel wrong, but there were also significant enough changes to make this a major release. That’s why it is 2.0.

On the user-facing side the most obvious change is the massively improved design. Just compare the version on the flagship-instance with the older version that is for now still available here.

But that’s not the only thing: There is now explicit support for this to be installed as a progressive web app (PWA), which makes it almost like a normal app on mobile devices. In particular this also means that it is now much easier to use it offline: While it was always intentionally possible to download the files and open the entire thing via file:///…, installing a PWA might be a bit easier on mobile, improving the accessibility. (It might also allow to add it to fdroid, I’ll see about that at a later point in time).

Now, a PWA of course has the issue that it leaves traces in the browser, but it may reduces traces left on the web, and if you don’t religiously clean your browsing history anyways, it’s possible to see where you were if you get access to it, so it’s not too bad of a trade-off.

Speaking of traces: It’s now possible to store settings in the local storage of the browser. So far this is largely inconsequential, but for a future version I want to add the ability to store the recordings as well! Of course all of that is strictly opt-in. If you don’t do anything the app won’t leave any traces on your browser that your browser doesn’t create anyways.

That said, there are also significant improvements on the software-side of things: Not only did I improve the quality of the code-base by a lot (still not great though!), I also replaced most of the previous super-sketchy build-system with something slightly less so to the point where others might even be interested in having a look at it: esbuild for bundling, currently run by makefiles. I still refuse to let most other javascript-code near it, but esbuild seems established enough for me to be willing to risk using it.

So, if you need a voice-recorder that is specifically made for trans voice training and puts a huge focus on user privacy, give it a try, for example on the next #TransVoiceFriday! 😊
