How about creating youphonics as an org on github? I'd look for something to help out with, given a public repo.

This is what I initially thought of doing. But, after seeking advice from 3 more senior developer friends, they recommended first going through the codebase and sectioning it out.

That said, I'm more than ready to prove them wrong. If at least 4 others ask for the same thing (through this thread, PMing, email...), it's on.

[Edited for clarity]

That's sound advice - It might be tough to get excited about a rough codebase without some context. But rough code is still better than just an idea, or a typical spec...

I'll check back later.

If you want, just shoot me an email (aidan@youphonics.com) and I'll let you know if/when the last vote comes through.

Worst case scenario: I'll invite you to a private repo shared via Dropbox.

Thanks for letting me take it for a test drive - it's ambitious, but definitely has potential.

Very interesting...

Very interesting. I had a similar (same?) idea though did not push it further than grabbing the domain (ovrdub.com)

UX-wise, I wonder if there is a reason why you do not represent the different "pieces" as tracks ? I think this might make it for a simpler user experience ?

I'd be definitely interested to peek at the code.

Setting up the repo now in Dropbox. Shoot me an email (aidan@youphonics.com) and I'll share it with you?
