Now we just need to wrap this in Electron so we can run it on desktop! ;)

No, Tauri!

#44Feels very similar to the real app. Zooming in with key macros isn't as accurate for some reason. Blown away by wasm. Truly the next frontier.

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.
I mean record system output audio. E.g. audio streamed to speakers. Desktop Audacity can capture this audio directly on Windows. The specific use case is extracting the audio from long videos, to upload to a transcription service. It’s an edge case for sure. Since the video is hosted weirdly and no video downloaders I’ve tried can get the video downloaded with the audio. So we simply stream the video normally in the…
Oh, I see, WASAPI as Audacity's input not output. Setting up a virtual microphone with something like VoiceMeeter might do it, since the browser would just see it as a microphone.

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?
I think there were some problems with wxWidgets and generally people moved to Qt, if they were still making cross-platform desktop apps, and if they haven’t migrated to Electron.

#47OMG, finally a audacity version that won't crash my Wayland window manager. Unfortunately the recorded audio is really weird. Basically it tunes down the audio once I'm speaking, maybe some weird autogain racecondition between PulseAudio/Pipewire and Firefox?

#48This seems like a really impressive technical work. Well done! I'd be interested in a write up of the process
Me too. Maybe just a blog post with the big details and some lessons learned. I tried a Qt app once to wasm. and it was just painfully slow and so buggy when I got done (mostly just unexplained crashes). I'm no pro though, it was just a weekend project.

#49This 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! [1] https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/compare/master...ahil...
I feel like I should preemptively apologize and I'm really not trying to knock the project in any way, and the achievement is pretty epic, but those who have seen my username on this site before know what's coming, especially in regards to people seriously considering using WX Widgets on the web... This app is inaccessible. Audacity on its own is already a bit difficult to use with a screen reader, but sadly, this po…
Unless you have a legal requirement to provide accessibility, I encourage everyone to ignore this advice. It is basically letting perfect be the enemy of good. Especially if your project is opensource. Someone that cares, which may even be you at a later date when other things on the to-do list are done, can submit patches to address accessibility later.
