Yes, if you display a custom 404 page.

Yes, the UI is all from scratch. My inspiration was from seeing other audio-reactive videos on Youtube, but those were rendered with either Adobe After Effects or a 3D program like Blender. I wanted to build something that was easy for the average person to use.

It's open-source so you can see how everything is done. The audio processing is all done with Web Audio APIs.

I haven't looked into it so I am not sure if it's possible. The requirement would be for Electron to be able to run headless with WebGL enabled.

If you simply drop in a song, it will render in realtime. You don't have to render it to a video. I am working on a "live" mode that will act much like Winamp, where you would select a playlist of songs and have it cycle effects.

Video is not currently supported but will be in the future.

Hi everybody, I'm the creator of Astrofox. Surprised to see this here, but I'll be glad to answer any questions.

Astrofox has been my side project for several years now. It's basically my playground for trying out things like Electron, React and WebGL. It's open-source, MIT licensed, and totally free to use.

This may just be me, but I'm very particular about my software. I want it to look and flow a certain way. So I wrote Umami mainly for my needs first. Plus it was just a fun project.

I always start side projects so I can learn something new. In this case it was Prisma.io, Chart.js, Next.js authentication, JWT and Postgresql. All of which I didn't know about until this project.

Fair point. I was simply following the "common practice" from other products making these claims, which is to not store personal user data and only generate an anonymous ids.

Maybe that's not fully compliant, I don't know, so I went ahead and removed any mention of GDPR from the website. It's not really my goal anyways. I'm just trying to release free software while they are charging money and making these claims.
