as part of my motivation to start learning how to use electron i’ve been digging around their website to see what is possible with the platform and i’ve found some great stuff — i’ve got seven of these planned and i’m hoping you will check out the quickfire soapbox made wistia videos i made, i’ve embedded episode five below. ..
EPISODE SIX
we had to hack this together for this episode, wistia soapbox messed up and would not save or let me use the editor so i captured the screen with quicktime screen record, routed the audio with sound source to capture system audio, trimmed it up, uploaded it to vimeo. faff, but i was going to re-record it and anyway i kinda miss using vimeo.

what is electron and what is ‘electron on steemit?’
it’s a cool platform that allows someone (hopefully) non coder like me to hack together something (and get some help) to build our some applications that have been floating around my brain for far too long and need to come to life. i’m also sharing my journeys with the platform alongside these quick fire shows highlighting some tools that have been built with the platform. mainly to inspire me to keep going when things look really complicated but also so you can discover some neat tools! :)
i have to build my dreams, not get people to invest in them and waste mental energy teaching the why. ..
i had a shit start to my day interfacing with peoples this morning because of discord. decided to stop going there for now. but it did teach me a BIG lesson, if i want to live out and create my dreams i have to be the one to make them, i don’t need to explain them i just need to make them, i need to learn, i need to create, the compulsion to create to put my mark on it, not for some egotistical reason or driven by the only ideal of money but because i’m a social artist, because i’m a 21st century craftsman. that’s where i live, between the storytelling lines of the visual and the soundwave. i love the artistry of the methods and the process. i need to weave my own.
the headset application in this pack really inspires me. i love that they have done their, the interface is super tight, the application of what it does it does really well and fast and i love the features they have bought to it, it’s like a mobile app but on you’re desktop and i love that, i love that idea of having a little companion app on the desktop, it’s certainly inspiring my ideas and realising that i just have to make something small first and then build that up from there. i don’t want to have to attach a value in terms of time for money when it comes to my creativity or creative process. not everything should be about money otherwise we are doomed to the same faults and issues that we already see in this elitist social structure that has seen the distribution of wealth bring us undone. time to activate.
