Assuming you've pressed the yellow Start button (on the TR-808; it looks different on other sequencers), check if you're on silent mode. Some web audio is muted in silent mode on iOS

This is really well done. I know from making https://ambiph.one that web audio can be really tricky. Lots of fiddly little inconsistencies and gotchas (mainly on iOS, in my experience). So building something that's this cus

Haha, hi AL! Yeah the target for this definitely isn't the regular transactional GOV.UK services. I've added a note at the top of the installation guide: > GOV.UK Vue (or any JavaScript library) might not be suitable for your p

Exactly - services on GOV.UK are developed by teams across government (as well as agencies etc), and they're (mostly) free to use whatever tech makes sense for the team and the project. GOV.UK Vue isn't intended for normal, bread-

GOV.UK Vue doesn't provide any of the Frontend styling directly, it's up to the consuming project to include it. I've done that so that you can add Vue to server-rendered projects which already include Frontend. Frontend upda

Your og:image meta tag is pointing to a .webp image, which I expect many services don't support as the OpenGraph image. It's probably falling back to the author photo because that's the first PNG or JPEG image on the page.

Neat tool. A couple of suggestions: I'd make it fetch the meta tags and image using the user agent string of the services you're showing previews for. For example, Twitter/X fetches meta tags with a user agent string of Twitt
