So damn close...
Was planning on getting Intiface Desktop Alpha out over the weekend, but unfortunately bugs in Buttplug took precedent. I fixed some issues with Satisfyer toys, as well as trying to fix some problems with the ScanningFinished message that... didn't really fix anything so I may be removing that, though it's going to make WebBluetooth weird, so we'll see what happens.
Watch me talk about bluetooth buttplugs for 20 whole ass minutes! Includes overviews of the new Lovense Hush 2 series! The 2.25" is really big!
AND WE'RE BACK.
I seem to have recovered from my coding burnout, while simultaneously getting VR burnout. So now I'm writing a bunch of code but barely using VR.
More than last week! (An admittedly low bar.)
After finally wearing myself out on Forza Horizon 5, last weekend I got back to work on Buttplug and Intiface Desktop, and made quite a bit of progress!
Uh....
Yup, I smacked into a burnout wall a few weeks ago (mostly life/day job related) so it's been real slow going here for the past month. I should stress that this isn't necessarily a bad thing, I tend to work in cycles and this time of year (especially around the time change) usually ends up running a little slower for me. I'm slowly recovering out of it, but I expect things may stay a bit quiet for the next couple of weeks still.
Oh yeah, forgot to put this in the weekly update:
I bought a second Lovense Diamo. Plan is to see if there's a way to cut the upper loop and use heatshrink to make the device more usable for those that find it too small, or that may want to use it with a chastity cage or something.
It's ADHD time, apparently...
Having learned a couple of new tricks in developing the new Intiface Desktop, I've taken a bit of a break from it to use that knowledge on Buttplug. I've now added a new IPC connector using Named Pipes/Unix Domain Sockets that should be way nicer for devs that don't care about remote connectivity to the Buttplug Server. I'm also currently sweeping through the library and doing a bunch of error handling cleanup to try and avoid future issues with crashes, as we've been getting a lot of reports lately. Finally, I'll be updating the library to btleplug v0.9, which should fix some issues on Linux.
New features! Finally!
Thanks to getting bored with bringing the new Rust Intiface Desktop to parity with the JS Desktop app, I decided to play around with building some small new features that required changes all the way back to Buttplug.
Intiface Desktop!
Intiface Desktop work continues apace. It's looking pretty good now!
Rewrites!
After a couple of weeks of having problems with coding blocks (writers block except for programming), I seem to be back to vague levels of productivity. This mostly means re-implementing Intiface Desktop in Rust and egui.
