Was working on this same idea (*working = ideating over). Was really dissapointed to see after downloading the app does nothing without an account. This seems totally non-required for local "free" projects with this tool.
I am curious why it’s called DAW. There are no screenshots so hard to say anything Does it support VST, AU? Any support for midi? Which OS’s supported? Is this just a multi tracker recorder that has a git style storage?
I'm adding additional support for loading plugins. Eventually, I would like to add VST support but that's down the road a bit.
It has basic midi support, can use a controller, or edit with keyboard.
I’d recommend providing a lot more screenshots and information about how the core DAW functionality works in comparison to other DAWs. As is I can’t see enough about what this would feel like to spend my time downloading and trying it
I'm a voice actor, and I live in Reaper -- it's my "IDE" as it were. I like the idea of the git branching metaphor. Would you say that your DAW is primarily for musicians, or for more general purpose recording (i.e. a voice actors workflow)
REAPER’s project files are all very git friendly.
Simple add/commit/push, etc. Of course, if you’re going to be sharing a REAPER project in a repo, you should enable LFS, and have a smart project structure for your works. If collaboration through a repo, with tagging and branching, is part of your setups workflow, this already works quite well with REAPER projects.
However, I have to say that since REAPER allows full control over literally years of recording sessions, the whole concept of having the ability to go back and forth through different versions of the art—form being recorded (music, vocals, etc.) is already well provided in REAPERS sample-accurate ‘reflog’.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
Digital Audio Workstation in the context of computer-based recording it's pretty common jargon
I think what parent commenter is asking is, does it do the things one would expect a DAW to do? I’m not expecting a whole Ableton replacement, but things like hosting plugins and working with MIDI is IMO fair to expect from any piece of software that wants to call itself a DAW.
