Makepad- Synthesizer Written in Rust

Very impressive UI work with Rust. As @rvdca pointed out the author had a great presentation. Definitely recommend it.

I notice that there is a bug when I open the console: a note will be triggered and stay there forever.

The audio worklet uses postMessages (https://makepad.nl/makepad/platform/src/os/web_browser/audio...), which is not GC free.

For those are interested, I am maintaining https://glicol.org/ which is also an Rust/WASM audio app in browsers.

The audio worklet doesnt use postmessages anymore btw. I removed that way of commmunicating with the main thread. It's all shared memory in wasm now.

Cool. There is no doubt that you guys can nail it.

We also have a much newer version however the workload of 'everything' has been a bit overwhelming since we aren't actually making a synth(thats just an example application) but an IDE, designtool and a framework.

So is it going to be a Figma style tool?

Why didn't you integrate with VSC?

We might, but only after we made our own. Our editor will finally break the barrier of inlining widgets/controls performantly. The editor is one piece with the visual designer (2 sides of a coin)

What's Figma?

Figma is an online designtool mostly used for doing UI designs.
