It finally feels premium. This is really funny

That's really fun and cool! :) I was hoping the sound would also be sped up/down (or change of pitch perhaps would work better) as you moved the hinge faster/slower, so you could do that really slow "tack-tack-tack" sound like when you move a really heavy door on a worn hinge really slow

I wonder if the sound could be fully synthesized instead of the current 2.9s recording. That's not an easy task, but perhaps the result would sound more realistic.

Are you running MacOS on your Framework?

It looks like Fedora. Did you visit the wrong link?
eikenberry
Sure did.. I was looking at the link in the body of the post, not the title link. /smh

from the readme:

> the filtering is optimised for framework 12's hinge stiffness.

never in a million years would I expect to have to optimize software for a given hinge stiffness, this made me chuckle just reading it

also:

> why

> funny

I like that :)

I'm reminded of the hacks for old ThinkPads that read the accelerometer used to detect drops and park the disk heads; by slapping the machine on either side, you could switch to the next or previous desktop.

Very cool. Could make it be higher pitch & louder when closed faster :)

Awesome. This reminds me of the fun apps we had when the MacBook and iPhone got released.

It reminds me of how, back in school, we used to replace the sound that played when Windows shut down with fart sounds.
