Also, you can try it for free now.

Good point. I made it like this today — you buy rendering seconds once and use them any time. Also, minimum bundle cost is 4$. Thanks for helpful feedback!

Not yet, seems like it's a lot harder than I do it right now. It might require coding a thing that screen captures the visualizer itself, which is really unstable.

All the visuals are done by HTML/CSS and Web Audio API now.

Hey, thanks for the feedback and helpful advice. It's good that you mentioned attempts to "hack the Spotify algorithm". As an artist I can say that's really common, especially for aspiring artists.

And the thing about technical expertise of music producers: people commented about downloading open source visualizers and all that stuff is "easy to do" which is in reality it isn't, because it's hard to nerd and dive onto tech stuff when you work on music.

Thanks. I didn’t promote it as hard in the circles of music producers yet, so I need to test it out a bit. There’s a lot of user signups that don’t lead to a subscription so I’m going to introduce usage-based billing (buy rendering seconds once, use anytime) and provide cheaper options.

Hey Dan! Thanks for the feedback and your product, it's never been easier to build background-processing things with Inngest.

Hey, thanks for the feedback! I'm reconsidering things right now, free trial and more cheap, usage-based billing are coming.

Hey, the main purpose of the tool is not to enjoy visualizations yourself, but to share with your audience if you're musician. Specifically for teasing your songs that are work-in-progress (snippets).

1. You don't need a computer to make a visualizer video 2. You (obviously) don't need Winamp and video/audio capturing software to make a video.

Yeah sure, the hardest thing is to render cool 3D graphics at scale so it’s simple 2D visuals now

Looks cool! But the point was to provide a fast way to make vids. It's not about git cloning, building from source etc. It's about compromise between good UX and how output looks.
