The WebAudioModules (WAM) have some very cool demos if you're into music: https://www.webaudiomodules.org/wamsynths/

I've been learning tone.js as of late

I'm doing a ShowHN right now for a webapp to learn music sight reading: www.babeloop.com

It currently uses Tone.js for timing accuracy. Tone.js is pleasant to work with, but directly interacting with web audio context isn't too hard either, so IDK if the tradeoffs are really worth it.

Do you know if there's similar to a VST standard for WAM?

Would be interested in the possibility of online DAWs that can import plugins and open up for marketplaces where developers can build and publish these.

I've been thinking about this too, and it would be cool. I'm pretty sure no such standard exists though.

Do you have any ideas on what such an api could look like?

If I understand correctly, WebAudioModules is itself such an API, a proposed standard.
