As of right now it downloads the latest minor versions of libraries. I am open to suggestions on best practices here.

Looking to join a team where I can contribute my creativity while rapidly learning in a collaborative and communicative environment.

My latest app was featured on the front page of HN for an entire day with over 300 points and 120 comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27112573

Author here. Last week I posted a ShowHN with my first music production app. I received a overwhelmingly positive response from the community from which I'm humbled and grateful. You can see the post here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27112573

Many asked about how it was built, so I wrote an article about my journey from music to software. Part I presents the "why" I built the app, and Part II will get into more details about the technical challenges I overcame.

Thanks again to this great community for your support. The app has had tens of thousands of users since the original post, and I'm getting a lot of enthusiastic feedback. This is all very exciting.

Stoked! I agonized over cross-browser and device incompatibilities.

It is https? And hosted on netlify where all accidental http redirects to https.

If this doesn’t happen automatically edit the url. Sorry... Very weird.

Thx, it’s my baby, I want it to work ::sweating:: (I think that bug is fixed)

This made me lol. If it makes music it is a force for good

I believe this is fixed but can't test on my end. Anyone using old version of Safari that doesn't support MediaRecorder (or disabled MediaRecorder), please load the app and let me know if it goes blank.

Tap - Record on the bottom menu :)

I’m glad! That Ui design was my primary inspiration.

Thank you! I can’t help but sweat certain details otherwise I every time I look at the app I cringe. (I still cringe but a little less)

Thank you... yes, Persistence! There are many challenges along the way where I came soooo close to giving up.

There is no magic going on. If something works or doesn’t work, it’s in the code.

I think successful musicians already know this struggle so luckily I kept struggling through the hard parts.

If you have your side button on mute you won't get any sound. If you don't mind, take a screen recording of the animation you're referring to and email it to me drumnickydrum@gmail.com

The reusability of components and memoization hook made this much more of a breeze than had I not used React. It was a fun experiment.

Oops, my share links seem to be broken. I’ll have a look at this tomorrow.

Wow thank you so much. I hope it’s as you wish!

You’re welcome :)

You’re right. Saved sequences need a link field that appears as a button for each once synced.

Re: grid length: not yet.

Re: pitch/velocity. Yes! Just toggle “apply all”. You set the value then tap or slide over cells to edit individually.

This section was a pain to figure out and there’s def room for improvement.

Thx, msg’d you on ig.

Thank you for the kind words. It means a lot. Many have mentioned I should sell this even though it wasn’t the intention. I’m not sure it will go that way but I’m stoked it lives up to the standard.

@drumnickydrum on instagram to peak at my music career

There is! I’m coming from fifteen years in an unrelated (and wildly different) field. I am actively seeking advice related to landing a job where I would be a good fit. Please email me if you’d like to chat drumnickydrum@gmail.com

How many other open tabs and applications? Without a doubt I don't expect excessive overhead from the browser and would encourage users experiencing serious performance issues to wipe out everything else going on. This is still an experiment in just how much we can do in the browser.

It would be a fun challenge for me to programmatically figure out if the user is experiencing issues and disabled features to improve performance...

Thx for those suggestions... I will do all of that.

Thank you, I'm so honored by your remarks! I put a lot of sweat into this.

No problem, I've just added input via QWE-ASD-ZXC :)

It's a pwa, so make sure you close every tab and refresh a few times so the changes take effect.

Dang. The download feature needs a lotttt more attention. I just felt wrong putting out the app without any ability to download what you've created. But without a doubt it needs more cross-platform support.

Thanks! Yes I am still pretty green so I need the info.
