I built a MIDI player for macOS to replace QuickTime Player 7 (and it's on GitHub)

It's not exactly a new app (it has existed for over 5 years now), but I never really promoted it anywhere, so here goes:

When it became clear that Apple would eventually drop 32-bit apps and didn't plan on updating QuickTime Player 7, I started development on this replacement MIDI player. As a hobbyist music person, having MIDI playback was pretty important to me, and all the other apps that did it were either too expensive, mediocre, or both.

It's written in Swift, uses AppKit for its UI, and requires macOS Catalina or later to run.
The latest (notarized) release is here, along with the source code to the app: https://github.com/SamusAranX/MinimalMIDIPlayer/releases/tag/v1.12-final

If you're still running High Sierra or Mojave for some reason, you'll want v1.11.1 instead.
Note that you'll miss out on bugfixes and the auto updater if you use this.

Screenshots and known issues are in the readme file in the repository: https://github.com/SamusAranX/MinimalMIDIPlayer

Bonus content: Look how far the app has come:

Best RSS Reader These Days?

Hello all!

​

I'm starting to curate all the website feeds that I follow now and before I used a service called Feedly after Google Reader got axed. I am wondering if there is any alternative now that is better than Feedly? I've heard many great things about Inoreader, however I am not sure.

Experiment: self-host an RSS reader entirely on GitHub

Demo

GitHub

How does it work

• The feed is statically hosted as GitHub Pages. The content stays the same until the next build.
• The feed is rebuilt periodically by GitHub Actions.
• During a rebuild, cache from the previous build is used, so only new content will be downloaded and old content won't disappear even if the host cropped them in their feed.
• The content fetching and static site generation is powered by a custom node.js script. Refresh takes only a couple of seconds.

I released the Linux port of Metric Racer on Steam over the Easter weekend. The game as a whole is out in Early Access and would love some feedback particularly from the Linux crowd.
