Your comment made my day! The historical stats option is already available, it is a button to click/touch on the summary page (perhaps I need to make it a bit more visible). And I like competitive leaderboard and themed rounds ideas, will definitely take into consideration, thanks!
Hey, thanks for the spot-on questions and the encouragement! You made me remember my initial plan to add a reference to the crowd counting dataset I have used as the ground truth. You can find the link to the dataset in the About page (the ? icon) now. These datasets typically include crowd annotations every image where every person is annotated with head locations (and sometimes the head size) so rendering that was trivial. I actually do show the accuracy of the individual guesses at the end (with the summary of every round) and during the game (with that animated accuracy ruler). It would be great to find out if they are not working properly or not explanatory enough.
Zildjian's original craftsmanship actually lives on in Istanbul. Mehmet Tamdeger, who began apprenticing at age nine under Mikhail Zilcan (grandson of Kerope Zilcan, of K series fame) and master smith Kirkor Kucukyan, continued the traditional techniques from the 1950s K. Zilcan factory in Istanbul.
What's fascinating is that Tamdeger and master smith Agop Tomurcuk preserved these methods by founding "Istanbul" cymbals. Initially exporting to the US under "Zildjiler" before switching to "Istanbul" in 1984, each cymbal was personally signed by both masters. After Agop's unexpected death in 1996, Mehmet continued under "Istanbul Mehmet", maintaining the 17th-century hand-crafting methods with the philosophy "Machines don't have ears."
The cymbals they make are particularly sought after by jazz drummers for what's known as the "old K sound" - referring to the original K Zildjians made in its place of birth.
yep drums and cymbals are very expensive. Beginner cymbals are ~$300 for a pack (hi hat, crash, ride). Intermediate/pro cymbals are easily $400-500 a piece
What's inexpensive about it? Why do you think it should cost more? This is a very typical cost for a single component of an instrument that can get very costly.
Cymbals arent cheap per se, but relative to other instruments they are. A professional saxophone is on the order of $7000 to $20,000. A professional violin can easily be $50,000 and sought after violin's as high as $20 million. Zildjian cymbals for a few hundred dollars are one of the few places a random beginner can consider buying the same instrument used by world level talent.
Hey, this post made me remember a feeling that I had long forgotten. Thank you.
I write short stories in Turkish. I wanted to become a skilled writer ever since I can remember. So I started to keep a dairy. I have been writing since -give or take- two years, nearly every day. I also post some short stories of mine, when I have some.
Best part of it is when go back in time and actually like some of things you have written a long time ago. It is common for me to dislike my own writing so that rare feeling gives me a lot of strength to continue.
Hope this gives some of you out there some inspiration and I appreciate any advice/ideas you might have!
You might want to add a section where you list related/similar startups and how well they are doing (in terms of ARR and/or other metrics.)
