Wavacity developer here. I released this a year ago under the name "wavvy" but needed to rename the project because of a trademark conflict.

How did you get wxwidgets to compile to the web? Was it a lot of work?

This is the part I want to know also

I still do not understand. WxWidgets should rely on native controls rather then rendering them right? Does it mean that there is a branch of WxWidgets that renders the controls?

I wondered the same and found this comment explain it well: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32689473 (the edit on the bottom in particular)

Maybe it's using gtk and compiling that to wasm and rendering via canvas?

Great job!

The world needs more folks to take initiative like this.

This is pretty cool!

Maybe add a description and URL in the repo settings? https://github.com/ahilss/wavacity

(and linking back to the GitHub from Wavacity would be nice too, as right now it's not obvious it's available)

I like this name too, it's even better.

I can't believe they have the audacity to rename their project

The chutzpah! Would be a good name too

Can this somehow be used to edit a file on a system remotely? Say I have some .wav's on a raspberryPi, can I publish them, edit, send them back to that raspberryPi?

Because that seems to me to be a very awesome use-case ..

What motivated you to build this? Just because it's cool (it is cool!) or to serve a practical need?

There was a lot of discussion back when Audacity decided to make some changes. I don't remember what they were specifically, but I do remember a few threads here about forks of the project. I don't remember the name wavvy, so maybe this is another fork. I was thinking the fork discussed here previously also was a play on the "*city" name as well.

IIRC They 1. Changed the license 2. Added a CLA 3. Added telemetry to the prebuilt binary

I think the largest of those forks is tenacity [1]. Some of the other forks were incorporated into it.
