> I personally _love_ how the browser is becoming a very well-featured sandbox for shipping applications. Same. My latest project is a waveform generator for wavetable synthesizers [1]; there are visualizations, as well as handling audio (not real time but still). I was surprised that I could build that as a web app and achieve good UX and performance. [1]: https://merely.xyz/waves https://merely.xyz/waves

You’re down. I want to see your site! When can I see it? And your domain is really cool too. I presume it’s like a self deprecating math joke.

  I had a typo in url (wrote .xys instead of .xyz, fixed now), thanks for letting me know. The .xyz pun was not intended, but it does make a lot of sense for a math related app. Thanks for spotting that too!

    Cool! some early feedback: - Very hard for me to find the play button.. took like 10s of looking. I looked at the segment buttons - Accidentally, I got some really cool sounds by mashing the play button to overlay it. Not sure why it gets distorted if it should be playing the same waves. But it sounds cool

This is very cool, although I was just playing around with it and my cat cast me a filthy look and raced away at high speed. Your warning about playing the sounds is well given! :)

I know nothing about this. It looks cool. I want to learn more. Where do I start ? DDG search does not help much [1], [2] Any pointers ? 1: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=waveform+generator+for+wavetable+synthesizers&ia=web https://duckduckgo.com/?q=waveform+generator+for+wavetable+s... 2: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=wavetable+synthesizers&ia=web https://duckduckgo.com/?q=wavetable+synthesizers&ia=web

I love the Fourier transform animation.

you should talk/reference a bit more about the fourier transform aspect https://www.geogebra.org/m/t9uspumz https://www.geogebra.org/m/t9uspumz
