Plus a Compose LaunchedEffect fix for a BPM sync issue when adding the first song to a new playlist. And some notes on getting back up to speed on a new Mac.https://blog.musicapps.eu/posts/2026-05-07-bluetooth-foot-pedal-support/Thu, 07 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://blog.musicapps.eu/posts/2026-05-07-bluetooth-foot-pedal-support/SessionClick now responds to Bluetooth foot pedals. Pedals marketed as page turners present themselves as keyboards, so the app listens for the keys those pedals send and toggles play/stop. One small feature, one short Gemini prompt, one real bug Claude caught in review.https://blog.musicapps.eu/posts/2026-05-01-selectable-clicks-and-haptic-circle/Fri, 01 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://blog.musicapps.eu/posts/2026-05-01-selectable-clicks-and-haptic-circle/Two new features in one session: three pre-recorded WAV click sounds you can pick alongside the existing synth click, and press-and-hold haptic feedback on the main tempo circle. Plus a long debugging detour that turned out to be a lazy-init bug in the native engine.https://blog.musicapps.eu/posts/2026-04-27-first-batch-beta-feedback-fixes/Mon, 27 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://blog.musicapps.eu/posts/2026-04-27-first-batch-beta-feedback-fixes/Eight items from the first round of beta feedback, in one focused day. A subtle Compose race condition that broke Feel-the-Beat, a rename of “Special Entry” to “Break”, per-playlist rename via a 3-dot overflow menu, an in-library New Song affordance, a system-nav clipping fix, a restructured top-bar menu, and the first version of an Edit Sound screen with live frequency and tone control plumbed all the way down to the Oboe callback.https://blog.musicapps.eu/posts/2026-04-16-editing-swiping-playlists-and-persistence/Thu, 16 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://blog.musicapps.eu/posts/2026-04-16-editing-swiping-playlists-and-persistence/The longest session so far. Song and special entry editing, a complete redesign of the swipe gestures, multiple playlist support, JSON persistence, and a jitter measurement that confirms the audio engine is production-ready.https://blog.musicapps.eu/posts/2026-04-15-documentation-and-knowledge-base/Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://blog.musicapps.eu/posts/2026-04-15-documentation-and-knowledge-base/A split session: two new knowledge base articles in the morning, then a long evening of wiring up swipe gestures and drag-to-reorder — including a detour through a custom implementation that never fully worked, ending with the right library call.https://blog.musicapps.eu/posts/2026-04-13-building-the-main-screen/Mon, 13 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://blog.musicapps.eu/posts/2026-04-13-building-the-main-screen/The main screen finally looks like a real app. A long session covering the last metronome controls, the playlist list, a responsive layout, and several bugs that only surface on a real device.https://blog.musicapps.eu/posts/2026-04-11-ui-design-sync-and-foreground-service/Sat, 11 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://blog.musicapps.eu/posts/2026-04-11-ui-design-sync-and-foreground-service/Today had three acts: sketching the full UI concept, building a foreground service, and solving an audio/visual sync problem that turned out to require a C++ fix.
