I posted this a few days ago but since it makes noise I thought maybe non work hours would be better. I'm really looking for feature requests / bug reports / ideas and I'd appreciate if you took a look!

  oh and it only works on modern browsers on non mobile right now, sry :/ it taxes sound cards and browsers pretty hard.

This is cool. The UI could use some polish. I like that I can do seemingly everything via the keyboard. I couldn't figure out how to get back to the main screen after editing one of the sample pads. The browser 'back' took me back to HN. Nice work!

  thanks :) yeah it definitely needs polish. pressing enter goes back and forth I should try to make that more obvious.

Getting a lot of scratchiness/audio artifacts on Chrome, Win 10. Anybody know if that is an app or a platform thing? Idk if it's just harsh frequencies? I'm just using the default tones.

  it is a known problem... the more audio nodes I hook up, the worse various platforms that aren't top of the line computers perform. and even then sometimes... I've basically decided to revisit this project in a couple years when the web audio api is better supported.

just curious, why did you choose vue over react?
- elialbert 9y ago
  vue seems way simpler to me. I like react just fine, but for a one man, quick 1 month dash from start to finish kind of project, vue is fun. here's my messy components folder in the src if you're curious what it looks like: https://github.com/elialbert/bangerFM/tree/master/src/components https://github.com/elialbert/bangerFM/tree/master/src/compon...

How do you play it? EDIT: You use "Space". It doesn't say anywhere though! IMO there should be a big "PLAY" button that's super obvious. The first thing I looked for anyway.

  fair enough!

I can't seem to get it to do much. It's a little less intuitive than I'd like. Would like to hit "play" when opening it and have it show me something.

  good feedback I will work on that. shift up and down to move around, space to play/pause.
