On iOS the leftmost 25px or so is clipped, horizontal scroll doesn't do anything despite the indicator, and vertical scrolling feels gross.

In Firefox, Ctrl-K selects the address bar, and doesn't trigger the "New Node" action.

  You can't even bring up the help menu in many keyboard layouts, as '?' tends to be available via the shift key...

  ah my bad, sorry. haven't really tested much outside of my setup. I'll put in some fixes, thanks!

On Ubuntu both Firefox and chromium I encounter issues with the shortcuts (The navigator catch them instead of the page). I'm only able to load examples with chrome (using shortcut alt+e). The shortcut menu doesn't open with Firefox. In chrome, the visualization is not working but the sound is. In Firefox the visualization is kind of working but the sound isn't. Interesting sound synthesizer with a gnu radio vibe.

  For me, Firefox on Debian, the only working shortcut is the Menu (which is not actually a menu in the normal UI sense, more like a menu in a restaurant). Shortcuts are always difficult with web apps. For this reason, I would always add an actual clickable menu to web apps.

It would be awesome if it came preloaded with a design. option+e load the design chooser. How do I pan/zoom the design surface? How do I hide the node graph so I can see the thing being rendered?
- kousun12 8y ago
  thanks for the feedback there are deep links to the examples in the github page, if that's what you mean pan / zoom isn't super well supported, sorry. i've just been using my browser's zoom in / out if you open the help menu, there's a key combo (cmd + shift + v) to hide / show the graph

    This looks very cool. The nodes and graphs show and hide as designed on Firefox iOS. Browser zoom is fine. https://kousun12.github.io/eternal/?e=nude%2C+eternally https://kousun12.github.io/eternal/?e=nude%2C+eternally Is there sound to toggle on and off? I hear none. Sound will make time spent digging in much better.

The author is suspected to be on drugs. For sane people, this is basically a modular audio synthesizer plus visualizations. (I'm not here to judge, but the readme does say: "transcriptions of a mental representation for your bio-minds" ... ) A lot like Max/MSP.
- kousun12 8y ago
  hah that is fair; i mean i appreciate drugs. the github also tries to explicitly frame it as an artistic exploration done for it's own sake rather than anything functionally useful

  Thank you thank you. It seemed like something I would really like but the first thousand or so words of the README were beyond my limited intellectual capacity.

  Comparing this to the other sorts of post that typically make it to the front page of HN, how can you be so sure that we are the sane ones? edit: kousun12: Love it!

Looks really nice! Cool ideas on the component API as well. Just a question, did you consider using the FBP graph JSON format (schema in https://github.com/flowbased/fbp/blob/master/schema/graph.json https://github.com/flowbased/fbp/blob/master/schema/graph.js...), as that would enable interoperability better?
- kousun12 8y ago
  yes, i definitely looked at noflo and thought it was a really awesome effort. my intentions with this had less to do with any sort of utility than it did with trying to reflect a specific aesthetic i had in mind. thinking that i'd want more control, i made my own type / serialization scheme as i went

Seems like when I load another example, it gets stacked on top of the currently playing example. (Chrome, OSX)
