   Dang. The download feature needs a lotttt more attention. I just felt wrong putting out the app without any ability to download what you've created. But without a doubt it needs more cross-platform support.

   Thanks! Yes I am still pretty green so I need the info.

   Thank you! I'm excited to see what's next, though I feel pulled in many directions. With native apps I can make real performance and UI gains, with web apps I can continue exploring the wild world of javascript (which I've

   Thx to another comment's suggestion I've just added numpad support to play it like an mpc. Let me know if that helps ! It was designed mobile first where I find the input to be very fast, but yes, on desk/lap the buttons are

   The source is open :) https://github.com/drumnickydrum/sequencer64 I can't say what exactly is next for the app. My top priority right now is to get hired as an engineer, and I built this to hone my skills. My ca

   I stayed up super late one night playing around with weird css combinations to make the analyzer do amazing things and ended up scrapping most of them to improve performance. It was a bit of an afterthought and I could certainly figure out

    I'm working on a medium article as we speak. It's more about the journey from drumming to software, but does get a bit in depth with some of the challenges of S64. Thankfully the timing is handled by the Tone.js framework. It al

    I hadn't thought about that direction of interaction. Very interesting. I agree, now that I think about it, that there are definitely a lot more interactions that can come off of the grid cells. Great suggestion.

    Wow that site is super fun :) As far as the sequencer, head over to the save menu. If you 'share' your sequence it actually generates a link you can save. (It's not storing the data in the link as the full sequence data is

    Thanks for the great suggestion... I've just added it! It's a pwa so close all tabs and refresh a couple times to make sure the changes take effect :)

    Oddly I'm finding there are much more audio performance issues in production even though all warnings pointed to worse in development. It was an extreme challenge to make this thing work cross-browser/os/device. I may look i

    Thx! Menu dive a bit and you can re-pitch the clap. There is some, though not robust, MIDI support I will eventually be looking into. What do you mean exactly about saving a pattern as a long link?

    Thanks :) And not just for reusability of components... React's memoization features helped me prevent so much unnecessary re-rendering (the grid alone has about 1000 divs.)

    It's funny how the ability to swipe around has me putting odd rolls in places I wouldn't think to as a drummer. Glad you like it.

    Been looking into it. Looks like it's an old safari issue related to Media Recorder (for downloading your sequence.) I'll play around to make sure the ux is right regarding this bug.

    I agree it would be fun to add a little chaos. I have some feature ideas on the todo list, one of which is a 'snake' traveler that disrupts the cells with an effect/glitch.

    Like falling in love with a new discipline much like when I first started playing drums. Complete (but healthy) obsession. And marrying the two together with the app kept me going for 10 weeks straight without getting bored with it. Exci
