Honest question. What is the current obsession with https for things that don't need to be secure like looking at drum patterns?

Chrome labelled sites as Not Secure if they didn't user https since 2018. Most people didn't like that label showing on their website address, so it was a clever way to shift everyone.

Years before that the free certificate authority Let's Encrypt was established (there are now several more), so for most people using https with your website is just configuration, not an extra cost. On top of that some http protocol versions are now https only.

This is amazing! Please consider adding PWA support so it can be installed as a mobile app.

It’s super easy, just a manifest.json file to add which you can generate here [0].

Also are you considering adding more drumkits? Or maybe allow a user to set their own samples (stored locally, just for themselves) like you can change the header color in HN.

I would rather everyone use HTTPS than have them individually decide if it "needs to be secure".

Why is that?

Browsers seem to lose their mind when presented with not HTTPS content these days right?

Exactly

there is a login

For the login I completely understand but most pages don't need to be secured in my opinion.

No problem, just added PWA to my todo list.

Regarding the different drum kits, this is actually on the top of todo list, right know i'm working on Yamaha RX5 and Oberhiem DMX. They should be available in a day or two. Any drum machines you recommend?

Hi! I was very confused about Glycol until I discovered that the desktop version of your site shows way more information than the mobile one. At least in Chrome for Android, you can only select demos to play and click the GitHub link. And GitHub recommends visiting glicol.org, so why do so many people rave about Glycol? Now I know :)

I was wondering if you would be adding any IDE-like features. I like a few features in Sonic-Pi and noticed a few attempts to make a VS Code plugin for it. (I wish I could contribute myself, but my music production skills are atrocious and I mostly rely on GUI-based software to carry me.)

Congrats on an awesome project! (And you, OP, too!)

Secure it all vs secure just the login...may as well do it all.

I came here to say the same thing. General MIDI defines the sequence of the drum sounds. Unless there's a really good reason to deviate from that, it is a standard.

So, if any of you guys have any specific ideas on how i should approach that please contact me via luhasz.wesz at google mail.

Since you’re porting the 808’s sounds/panel I understand the order you have matches it. I also agree it should be reversed if only because the kick/snare are lower frequency sounds and the hats are higher frequency and that would map better to reversing the direction that is currently on the site.

Love this btw, it will be fun to noodle on this when I’m away from the studio
