I've a (significantly more modest, far closer to a toy) project I'm working on atm that does similar stuff, was kind of stunned at how few options there were for musicians to collaborate. VST Connect Pro seemed to be the only thing I could find and that's a bit excessive for most
RE mobile site, are you planning on including full functionality or stripping it down to be a simpler set of controls.
Yes there are limited options and can get a lost in endless setup.
Re mobile site, exploring performance and some other features, will post an update in time.
ps thanks everyone who has clicked and signed up!
Here's some notes I took:
- Is there a reason the verification email isn't sent out automatically on registering?
- New project should maybe directly open the project? Basically get people into playing with the thing asap. Maybe some demo tracks already there to tinker with too?
- I think most of this is pretty intuitive to anyone who's used any music software before but the collection of loops listed at the bottom confused me initially, I was like "what's this L0 button? why doesn't it do anything?" I dunno if Svelte (which is what my devtools are suggesting is used, might be wrong) has anything like it but something like `react-joyride` as an opt-out initial screen to help onboard people could save you some time dealing design side stuff.
we're exploring different options for demo page but signups coming in okay so far. Agree some more optional onboarding is a good idea, we've tested this before to some success..
glad you enjoyed, any more feedback super welcome
thanks
will update
pushed a hotfix for a bug which sometimes caused users first project to not work!
