Above is a demonstration of how Ooloi handles wrong input.

The same string quartet as last time.

A short report from the workbench: the finer points of layout windows and how they relate to the piece window that owns them.

There is a Swedish expression, kratta manegen: literally, to rake the circus ring before the performance begins.

Claude has bad days.

Ooloi's interface now speaks twenty languages (with two national variations), with varying degrees of confidence.

Revisiting a corner of the undo machinery this week, I noticed something I'd never thought about.

The last post said that before closing the Piece Window I'd go through the dozen or so tickets raised in passing, and that I was enjoying it enormously.

The Piece Window is essentially finished.

The above is the instrumentarium of Richard Strauss's Elektra, from the 1916 edition published by Adolph Fürstner.

The anniversary post ended with a promise that the next stretch would be brighter.

People occasionally ask how one person builds something this size.

Every so often I ask a language model to paint.

What you're looking at is a test.

Creating a wind quintet with score and parts in Ooloi.

Two days from now it'll be two years since the first Ooloi commit.

This is the door handle the previous blog post was talking about.

You go to open a piece.

Three days ago I posted the road map: everything left before the real visible work begins, and the claim that it was all plumbing.

Today's work: the floating indicator shown on screen when connected to another Ooloi, or to an Ooloi server.

Ooloi is now a real, configurable desktop application with a solid collaborative backbone.

This is just a quick post documenting that the multi-user setup works, including Undo across users.

Every so often a category problem appears around Ooloi.

This is the collaboration interface.

As it's architecturally relevant, I thought I'd let Claude write this (very nerdy) blog post from its perspective.
