I'm curious to see whether there is a market for this, but I already spend so much of my time looking at waveforms I'm not sure I want to look at more. Have you considered spectrograms or spectral phase diagrams, both of which can be considerably more visually interesting than a straight waveform?
If I went through with the purchase I think I'd couple it with a "press a button and playback the original sound" setup, as that would be pretty easy to add to the rfid triggered music playback system I've got one of my R-Pi's rigged up for.
I just played around with a test file and was really impressed by the slider controls to allow modifications. Very neat stuff.
The only suggestion I could think of was perhaps an option for me to add my own colormap?
Let me know how it goes tonight!

... leads to https://www.soundviz.com/ I was kind of expecting that it would bring me to this comment thread.
Small issue: I grabbed an .m4a, uploaded it, and the screen just sat there. Console errors and whatnot. Didn't take a rocket scientist to guess that .mp3 might work better (it did). So I'm all good, but just reporting it.
Again, really good stuff, congrats.
