I just wanted to visualize a waveform, randomly searched for "audacity like online", not expecting much... and by god, they did it. The maniacs.

Wavacity | Online Audio Editor Based on Audacity

Wavacity is a port of the Audacity audio editor to the web browser. Free and open-source. No install required.

@zeh How audacious, that really does look like audacity.
@zeh the fact that it totally works in Firefox Android is astounding. Witchcraft!
@elsassph @zeh And the UI in Firefox mobile is more responsive than most electron apps these days
@zeh I remember seeing forever ago that gtk could render to the web, wonder if that is basically what is happening here
@zeh
IT EVEN works with touch. this fucking owns goddamn it
@jonny yep, blowing my mind right now
@zeh crazily, for entirely different reasons, I similarly found this same site via a search a couple hours ago - someone teaching a class locked into Chromebooks wanted to know if there was a cloud service like Audacity... Very handy, eh!
@zeh If that looks too desktoppy, there’s also https://sodaphonic.com
Sodaphonic - Record, edit, and share audio online.

An online audio editor for humans. Cut, copy, record and export to mp3 or wav files.

@[email protected] last time i used audacity was before it went bad :(
@zeh it is just audacity compiled to wasm and js apparently
@chjara sort of what I was assuming, but still good to see it working - there's too much that can go wrong when chilling to wasm, it requires a lot of work to get a GUI working as expected

@zeh wait what? How does that work? o.O

Cool though! xD

@zeh This is beyond awesome.

It even supports localisation: I get the interface in German.

I need to experiment with this, it may mean I now have Audacity on mobile devices...

@zeh wtf
@zeh nvm my bad i forgot i live in russia

@vl1 :( sorry.

It's really just Audacity in a browser tab.

@zeh

Hey #Auditory, look it's audacity in the browser!

@zeh this is really impressive. 😳 Now if only the UI was a bit more modern. 🀣
@amxmln Yeah, I think it was just a straight out port so it keeps all warts and everything.
@zeh I wonder if they used webasm for that. I don't have enough experience with that to tell. It is pretty cool.

@jacket I think that's what it is, from what I've heard.

Wasm is never simple, but if the whole stack is already wasm-friendly and not super OS-API-dependent, it's doable. Audacity seems to sit in that sweet spot.

@zeh Great find. This is a lot like how photopea.com is "Photoshop, but online".
@zeh I love projects like this. On a similar note, I've been using https://photopea.com as a Photoshop replacement for a while now.
Photopea | Online Photo Editor

@zeh πŸ”₯ πŸ‘Œ πŸ‘€
@zeh Yeah, open source rocks!
@zeh Wow. Wasn't expecting it to work on mobile. Fascinating!
@zeh That's brilliant!
@zeh I'm more impressed by the fact that online search gave you something useful with that kind of prompt
@kantor it was a bit sloppy I'll admit, but it did work pretty well on DDG - I think it's still good with keywords
@zeh on one hand, I hate the trend of making every #desktop app a #webapp now, on the other hand, holy shit.
@zeh Interesting to see how closely the playback time matches actual track duration.
@zeh That looks interesting! Very interesting...
@zeh now just need the same for shotcut.
@zeh how is this even a thing 😭😭
@zeh This may be the most amazing thing I have seen in a long while.

@zeh "Why make an online alternative for Audacity if we can make Audacity online"

What I imagine in their mind

@zeh
Wow, thats great! Thanks a lot for pointing out #wavacity as #Audacity for web.

Could be interesting for #FediLZ #Music #Musik, too.

@zeh do you know iqengine.org ? Same idea, for complex data, including waterfall, annotations, metadata... All the prep happens on the server, your browser only gets stabbed what it needs to visualize right now. Try the different tabs!
