hello! 👋 i've uploaded (most of) my collection of public domain images to my neocities! 1635 images, organized(ish) into category folders.

Scritch is a simple, fully customizable media player designed for music artists.
The Scritch Player (shown above) is just a single html file, a config file, and a folder to place your songs. It was designed to be as easy as possible to set up, just download, place files, customize, zip, and upload!

You can upload a Scritch album to any website or server you have access to, but for the non tech-savvy users Scritch was designed to be used with itch.io. You can simply upload the zip as a project, and album purchases are handled for you!

I also made the Scritch Editor, a tool to streamline the process. Create an album player right in the browser, preview changes, and download a pre-packaged zip to upload directly. The editor also reads audio metadata to automate a lot of the process!

Scritch allows you to create preview and locked tracks, for files you want to be made exclusive to those who purchase the album. Scritch Editor will even automatically generate the preview audio files, if you wish! If you have lower quality versions, you are free to use those for the public upload and save the higher quality versions for the purchased download, as well.

Scritch is 100% free to use/modify/etc. I regularly maintain it whenever people have an issue or a feature request. Let me know if you use it or have any suggestions!

Empathy is the first step in unlearning racism and I think reading about others experiences is a great way to build empathy
