The Biggest Violoncello for Android Update Ever!

Hey, everyone! While there have certainly been some very major Violoncello for Android updates over the last year or so, this one might just take the cake in terms of importance. While version 1.9.0 might initially seem like yet another incremental upgrade over the previous release, it actually brings a lot of frequently requested features to the app. So, without further ado, here’s what’s new!
  • Main Menu: Of all of the changes that come with this update, this is probably the most noticeable of them all. Gone is the old menu, located in the top-right corner, replaced with a sleek, easily reachable, and spacious grid of tiles for different browser functions. I am very proud of how this new menu has turned out, and I think it's definitely a massive improvement over its predecessor!
  • Tabs: Yes, you read that right. At long last, Violoncello finally offers tabbed browsing! The tab manager can be accessed from the new main menu, or you can alternatively hold the menu button to get there. Tabs work pretty much how you would expect, and they certainly make browsing easier.
  • Huge UI Updates: Aside from the aforementioned main menu redesign, Violoncello has also seen many smaller user interface improvements in this update. UI elements are now generally easier to reach, less cluttered, and more visually consistent.
  • Other Changes: While I have covered most of the major changes in this update, there are some notable smaller tweaks that have been made, too. Some less important features have been removed or significantly altered, many things have been rearranged, and some bugs have also been fixed. While these changes may require you to relearn some parts of the app, my hope is that it will make it more intuitive and user-friendly in the long run.
To conclude, as you can undoubtedly tell by this point, this is no tiny update! I have really enjoyed making it, and I sincerely hope that you find the features it introduces helpful. As always, thank you so much for reading, and you can get the latest version of Violoncello for Android from the Play Store. Enjoy!

This is Violoncello's handy new main menu.

Tabs are finally here, too!

Late 2014 Mac mini in 2022 - Still Worth Buying?

About a year ago, I reviewed the 2014 Mac mini on this blog. Ultimately, I came to the conclusion that it was still an excellent machine for productivity tasks, but it could also handle some more intense things you threw at it. Thus, it became my daily driver up until I upgraded to a 2017 MacBook Air a few months ago. That being said, I’ve still been using it some, so I thought I’d briefly share how it’s holding up these days. Here are my thoughts on this miniature Macintosh one year later! Performance  Over the last year, I’ve been impressed by how much this Mac can handle. It’s rocking a 2.6 GHz dual-core Core i5 with 8 GB of RAM and a Samsung 860 Evo 1 TB SATA SSD. What all that jargon essentially means is that it’s a moderately powerful little computer, although it certainly isn’t going to put newer Macs to shame. Regardless, I’ve been able to do lots of coding, video editing, and schoolwork on this computer, and it has generally worked pretty well. Granted, it can take a while...

I love my Instax Mini SE. Here's why!

Hey, folks! I did it. I finally got into instant photography. And I love it. Admittedly, I've had some experience with instant photography before now. I got my first instant camera at a thrift store in 2022. It was a Polaroid OneStep from the 90s, and while film was still readily available for it, it was far too expensive to justify using it regularly. As cool as instant photography was, I accepted that it wasn't economically viable for me and moved on. ...Until about a month ago! On one of my first dates with my girlfriend, she introduced me to her Fujifilm Instax Mini 11. It was a much more compact and modern instant camera than my Polaroid. It also used smaller film slides. This was a big deal, as she informed me that the smaller film came at a smaller price. I was intrigued. A couple weeks later, I ventured to Walmart and splurged. I picked up the cheapest Instax they sold: The Mini SE. It only cost about $57, and it came bundled with 10 slides of film. I also picked up an ...

Violoncello for Windows is finally here!

Hi, everyone! Ever since I first started working on it over a month ago, I have spent countless hours creating and perfecting Violoncello for Windows. Featuring a slick and minimal UI, lots of customization options, and support for Windows versions going all the way back to XP, I am very pleased with how the Windows version of Violoncello has turned out. As a result, I am very excited to announce that Violoncello for Windows has finally been released!
