Thanks for the extensive tests! Good to hear, I've tested Chromium, Firefox and iOS Safari so far only.

If you want to help the project, there is actually a funding page here (hope this is OK to post on HN, I'm not very experienced): https://seven.systems/xequence-audio/

Also more documentation and insights there.

Show HN: DAW with Modular Synth, running in a browser using stock WebAudio nodes

https://seven.systems/xequence2/demo/demo-deploy/www/index.html

Hi!This is a very capable web-based DAW (Chromium-based browsers work best), and, perhaps most surprisingly, it uses standard WebAudio nodes exclusively (no WebAssembly or custom DSP code in AudioWorklet etc.).In the included demo project (EDM, 26 synth instances, 66 insert effects), over a thousand nodes are active at "peak" moments, and hundreds of them created and destroyed per second - all...

Claude subscription (the cheapest $20/month one) -- I very rarely hit the limits, particularly the weekly ones. But then again, the largest codebase I ever work on is 50k lines.

I'd prefer local models massively for both work and "pleasure" (I love LLMs as random cognitive sparring partners), but then again, my bank account massively disagrees :/

Amazing project and execution. Makes my IDE's quickly-bolted-on (3 hours) .md support look ridiculous in comparison. Installed as PWA. Thank you!
