Awesome! Thanks for opening this and bringing GeaStack to my attention!
dirkk0··on Sonic Pi
Got it, great to hear that! On your Patreon now, and I sponsored via GitHub.
dirkk0··on Sonic Pi
Understood. While I have your attention: it would be great if the official version would have a web version, too.

And thanks for your work!!

I didn't look at it for a long time, and now I see that there is even a web version (which is probably not in sync with the main one): https://github.com/MrityunjayBhardwaj/SonicWeb
dirkk0··on Ask HN: Is anyone else preparing for the EU Cyber Resilience Act?
Thanks. The CRA's own version of what you are describing is harmonised standards: Art. 27 gives you a presumption of conformity with the Annex I requirements if you follow one whose reference has been published in the Official Journal.

The catch is that they do not exist yet. M/606 covers around 41 standards and was accepted by CEN, CENELEC and ETSI in 2025, but the Commission's July 2026 draft amendment pushed the deadlines back two months: the two core horizontal standards (secure development, vulnerability handling) are now due 31 October 2026, the verticals 31 December 2026, and the remaining horizontal ones October 2027, about a year before full application.

And delivery is not the same as availability - a standard only gives you the Art. 27 presumption once its reference is cited in the Official Journal. Nothing has been cited for the CRA yet: the Commission's harmonised standards site lists 40 pieces of legislation and the CRA is not among them.

On tooling specifically: the Open Regulatory Compliance Working Group (orcwg.org) runs a CRA hub on GitHub, closest thing I have found to what you describe.

I wish it were less complicated. :)

dirkk0··on Is it just me, or has Claude Opus gotten worse recently?
For me, it works better than ever. When I once saw a quality decline, it was conflicting CLAUDE.md files for me (local vs. global) so basically my fault.

I recommend starting with p5.js. If you need synchronized tracks, add Tone.js to the mix. The Ableton website also uses Tone.js. https://tonejs.github.io/

There is not much to configure at the moment. But yes, you are right, I should describe how it works. I change the readme now.
