a) Write the copy yourself. "hinge", "saying it plainly", etc. Nobody wants to read unedited LLM text on a website.
b) Make a video of you using the software. Show why it's interesting.

Why are you spending your time this way? I'm genuinely curious
As for Jolt this work is more expirimental truth be told I started it this year... Its far from perfect and honestly its more of a project that I want to take my time on it has way more scope that the0 and a protocal needs to take into account a lot of underlying pillars. I built this cause one day I hope that people can use online services without being locked into centralised platforms like Instagram/X/Facebook, or being subject to decisions of an organsation.
As for vibez its a bit more personal. I produce electronic music and primarily use linux. I also use windows and Ableton but I dislike how wine works with ableton on linux and them offering linux support, personally im not much of a LMMS fan and I dont use Ardour. Yes theres Reaper and Bitwig but I asked myself a question can I build somethings that free, open source and feature filled as one software engineer.
The main aspect of vibez is the workflow and it mainly came out of how I generally produce music. I jam a tune out (Perform), then they arrange it properly and then mix it down. I also have an MPC2000XL and just fell in love with the performance workflow from that hardware and tried my best to model it in perform mode. I also fell in love with the SSL type mixer channel strip and encourparated it into the mix view.
Just to conclude I spend time this way cause I love building things I can use and I want to share them with like minded people this is why they are open source, this is why the0 is at v1.14.0 its 78th release and counting. I build software cause I love it, traction secondary. I started programming when I was 12 with Visual Basic and Java; Im 32 now, and AI is simply the newest tool helping me continue doing what Ive always loved.
I loved the way the MPC pads are used for playing motifs I also loved its Sequence view where you can create many different variations of sequences and one caveat that I hated is that they didnt really expand on this and have the pads actually play sequences and move between them youo have to use Song mode for that. The track mutes also came from the MPC2000XL. I usually make house/techno and other genres of dance music so track mutes is another performance option especially for genres like techno. Instrument mode is literally a model of the MPC2000XL pads this includes the note repeat. One thing I liked from the Ableton Push was the clip launching but I wanted it to be more higher level I wanted to launch sections (or sequences) together.
That being said its still a long way away but Ive been able to make some tunes on it... Honestly this needs some youtube videos... Might do just that Thanks
