    I just tried it, sadly it doesn’t have a camera sensor option to detect and translate flashing Morse Code from another source, but it does have a Morse to Text translator that you can manually enter the incoming dots and dashes and it’ll translate back to text.

    The send feature converts plain text to the appropriate dots and dashes, with options to flash the screen, the flashlight, beep over the speaker and also vibrate. Dunno why they chose red as the screen flashing color with no option to change color though…

    For it to be version 1.0.1, its actually alright, it does work, although slightly clunky (but simple) UI right now. Everything, even the custom text you enter, has to be accessed in the Settings menu.

    Its worth a try, I’ll be keeping it on my devices to go alongside the Survival Manual app (different developer), and hope to see some improvements and new features down the road…

    Tapes can have long term issues in storage, as the tape reel winds will eventually start to bleed over magnetic signals from one wind to the next.

    In analog world, they call it tape hiss. In digital world, with good error correction, it can last a long time, but is still ultimately prone to data corruption, eventually…

    I recommend a video surveillance rated multi terabyte hard drive, they’re designed to run 24/7. I have two 4TB Seagate Skyhawks.

    I can’t find this ‘bravenewtube’ app you speak of, but I must admit I am not far from bedtime…

    There’s a difference between YouTube alternatives and Grayjay. Grayjay connects content creators across numerous platforms under a single app.

    Edit: I just woke up and realized I typed ‘bravenewtube’ instead of bravenewpipe LMFAO. Oopsie, I did say I was tired haha!

    Interesting to learn some finer grained details of the scene.

    I do actually have my own graphics software projects like halfway open source, but I could only bring myself to share the backend color coding algorithms.

    I can’t bring myself to share the frontend GUI code, as it has to work around many bugs of the language its coded in (RapidQ), and I really ain’t got time to try to explain all the weird fixes to make it work mostly right.

    Anyways, the last version of my project was Color Painter 1.5B

    https://tinyurl.com/colorpainter15b

    I have my own simple license that basically says have fun, do whatever you want, but only for free private personal usage.

    But that was back in 2017, I had no idea that AI systems were about to take over the scene.

    So now I’m like fuckit.

    I just don’t share the GUI code because I had to pull so many jankery tricks that nobody would really understand, partly to fix bugs in the language and partly to remap keyboard shortcuts.

    These days, it hardly matters. If you’re interested in my old project, just hit me up.

    I’m all about free software, but I have my reasons for not tending to share all my code to everyone. It’s rather confusing.
