Earlier quoted context omitted.

Audacity is one of the largest (if not the largest?) still active projects using wxWidgets, it seems like fairly obvious if you are somewhat aware of that.

Why did wxWidgets fell out of favor?

Not used much anywhere.

This is awesome, and also awesome is this:

> I originally developed a WASM port of wxWidgets

I had some fun looking at the commits here[1] and I can imagine a lot of classic wxWidgets apps are going to be ported to wasm now. Congrats, that a lot of dedication!

What other options exist for "complex native-ish browser interfaces" in this style? E.g. if you wanted to develop a new app which is a traditional desktop GUI app with tons of menus and buttons that need to be custom rendered (so wasm/canvases presumably, rather than html), what options exist aside from this effort with wxWidgets? For example, say you wanted to make a 3D editor/CAD program or full-featured DAW from s…

I will use rust egui

Very impressive work! I tried to play some loops and add some effects. They all went well. Did you manually handle the audio or is it wrapped in the portaudio-wasm?

One thing I can learn from your work is to how the canvas is rendered. For my project Glicol (https://glicol.org) I use the Web Audio Analyser Node for visualisation but I am considering to use SAB to send even non-audio channels and render the canvas in real-time. It would be great to explore the process if you can write more on your GH repo.

I'm generally against web apps, but have to admit this one is really cool; it also loads surprisingly fast. So far the only difference with the original seems the waveform display which uses a smaller resolution, probably not to slow down too much the UI.

Is there a way to record the output audio? Audacity on windows has the WASAPI option, which my wife has to use a lot.

Is File > Export not suitable? And if WASAPI can be used with your browser, won't it work for this? I don't really understand the use case though.
