As of right now it downloads the latest minor versions of libraries. I am open to suggestions on best practices here.

Author here. Last week I posted a ShowHN with my first music production app. I received a overwhelmingly positive response from the community from which I'm humbled and grateful. You can see the post here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27112573

Many asked about how it was built, so I wrote an article about my journey from music to software. Part I presents the "why" I built the app, and Part II will get into more details about the technical challenges I overcame.

Thanks again to this great community for your support. The app has had tens of thousands of users since the original post, and I'm getting a lot of enthusiastic feedback. This is all very exciting.

Stoked! I agonized over cross-browser and device incompatibilities.

It is https? And hosted on netlify where all accidental http redirects to https.

If this doesn’t happen automatically edit the url. Sorry... Very weird.

Thx, it’s my baby, I want it to work ::sweating:: (I think that bug is fixed)

This made me lol. If it makes music it is a force for good

I believe this is fixed but can't test on my end. Anyone using old version of Safari that doesn't support MediaRecorder (or disabled MediaRecorder), please load the app and let me know if it goes blank.

I’m glad! That Ui design was my primary inspiration.

Thank you! I can’t help but sweat certain details otherwise I every time I look at the app I cringe. (I still cringe but a little less)

Thank you... yes, Persistence! There are many challenges along the way where I came soooo close to giving up.

There is no magic going on. If something works or doesn’t work, it’s in the code.

I think successful musicians already know this struggle so luckily I kept struggling through the hard parts.
