+Title: noisicaä reloaded
+Date: 2021-12-27
+
+So the last update was almost two years ago, both to this website and the code on GitHub[^1]...
+
+I can't really explain what happened. A lot of things did happen[^2], but nothing that would have
+stopped me from working on this project. In fact I did have a lot more time available for it. But
+somehow my mind drifted elsewhere and I filled it with other stuff. I did not intend to abandon
+noisicaä, but I also didn't find a proper place for it as I reshuffled by life.
+
+Then about two month ago I suddenly decided to pick it up again. And because I discovered
+[Nix](https://nixos.org/) in the meantime, I wanted to try that out as a build environment. And then
+[Qt 6](https://www.qt.io/product/qt6) has also been released, so I looked into upgrading to
+that. Which I didn't, because it's not yet supported by Nix[^3]. But while I poked around the Qt
+website I did have a closer look at [QML](https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtqml-index.html) and discovered
+that [QtWidgets](https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwidgets-index.html) is not yet deprecated, but mostly
+frozen and not the focus of further development. So I decided to give QML a try.
+
+And while at it, I just threw out all the existing code and started from scratch with a slightly
+different plan...
+
+I abandoned a lot of unnecessarily complex code and now try to force myself to "keep it simple."
+That means, e.g. to use more of the Qt framework instead of insisting to do it "my way."[^4]
+
+The overall scope is somewhat reduced (no plugins, no timeline, ...). I still want to have those
+features *eventually*, but I want to focus on a solid foundation first, before I branch out into
+feature creep again.
+
+So here you go. All new, all fresh, with even less features than before.
+
+
+[^1]: And if you go there now, you'll notice that I move the repo to my own
+[Gitea](https://gitea.io/) instance.
+
+[^2]: I'm not talking about *that* thing that everybody else is talking about.
+
+[^3]: Still waiting for this [PR](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/141883).
+
+[^4]: I'm one of those persons who hate "frameworks", unless I wrote them myself. But apparently I
+became a bit more tolerant in this regard.
