So the GUI is in Qt and the internal engine in Rust. Do you call Rust code from cpp? It's less common in that direction, how was your experience doing it? any obvious traps?

#12Really appreciate the minimalism and simplicity (it's so rare in this industry!) and though obviously this app misses a lot of important sound editing features, I think it's a great start and the basis for something really cool. If I knew Rust I'd have offered myself as a contributor!
Features that I think are critical for striking the minimalism/utility balance for podcast editing:
- Enveloping per clip, i.e. fade in - fade out
- Support AU plugins (at least the system ones) - this alone will add EQ, compression and other effects, so quite important
- Ducking / side chain
- Option to embed all imported audios so that I can move my projects around
- Import a video file but use only the audio track
- Put time markers and name them
- Go to time or marker
- Loop between two markers
- iPad version?
These are just off the top of my head.
Kudos to you guys and good luck with the project!

The video one is something I use regularly with audacity so replacing it would be great for me (I record with OBS then drag it in to extract the audio because OBS has a great built in audio filter).

#14it says it uses Qt6 with rust, is it Qt6/c++ calling rust, or rust calling c++?
This ui looks awesome, but where can I find code samples of mixing Qt6 and rust?

#15I love the ID3 support:
ID3 Chapters
Finalizing your project by marking the project into Chapters.
When exported, Chapters are written as ID3 Chapter Frames in the audio file, which can then be picked up by supported audio players (such as Podcast players).

#16I use Hindenburg Pro to edit my podcasts currently. What will your software do better than Hindenburg?

#17Any chance this could come to Linux? I’d pay for a license but I’m not on a Mac.

#18"Perfect for podcasting" to me means that it has a built in compressor (or at least VST support). So many podcasts are two people talking where one is louder than the other.

You mean qt6 and rust in your last sentence i think.
Not on a computer right now but qml rust is reasonably mature. Will post later

#20I can't test this because I don't have the latest or greatest Mac, but what separates this from something like Reaper? From what I can tell this doesn't look anywhere near ready for production use. Reaper can do all of this on all platforms right now, even a RaspPi, for a $60 one time purchase. Teapodo has a pretty high bar to clear. I didn't see mention of VST support, does it include any VST's or VST support? I not…
On a Mac, GarageBand does almost everything you might need. I used to use Reaper, I was using it on a Mac back around V3, but the problem with Reaper is that it is general purpose and as someone else mentioned, that comes with a much steeper learning curve. A podcast app is more like a video editor... you pull in audio from various sources, sync it up, add in some jingles and background/intro/outro music, paste in ad…
Do you know about Ultraschall?
It is geared towards podcasting, based on Reaper. Works very well, though I have no experience in using other tools in the space.
