No mobile support as of yet. (Not pleasantly, at least.)

Currently there is a hard-coded example file loaded with the demo command, but that's the extent of automatic demo loading. Planning to improve this in future alongside a full frontend rewrite (too much tech debt).

Thanks for the extra links, looks like a good read :>

Show HN: Synchrotron, a real-time DSP engine in pure Python

https://synchrotron.thatother.dev/

Yes, Python.I can already hear the screams from the rafters telling me how terrible of a choice Python is - but in my case, I valued modularity, extensibility, hackability over raw performance. (It was also a challenge to myself to see how far I can get without referencing existing implementations)Synchrotron processes nodes: simple Python classes with typed I/O and a render() method for...
