Very cool! How is this better than SuperCollider, which I have considered (and learned a bit about) in the past?
Tidalcycles actually runs SuperCollider as its sound backend, through the SuperDirt library: https://github.com/musikinformatik/SuperDirt/
Also Demetori (Touhou) is great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=po69XUGd2v0
I have a web-based polyrhythm generator as well based around Euclidean rhythms.

currently working on a v2 with a much better mobile interface and fewer clicks)
If you're interested in this, there's a good chance you would enjoy the TidalCycles language for generating music. It's been a mind-expanding experience for me, particularly w/r/t polyrhythms.

This set by yaxu (Tidalcycles author) is what convinced me to get into livecoding seriously: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IzfMqs5NGw (this set is "from scratch", meaning that it opens with an empty file and starts from there, making it clearer to understand what is going on as it builds up)
As we sit into our booth and the environment closes around use we are greeted with soft, soothing music.
As we get into conversation, the body language, verbal language, laughter and even facial expressions we express inform the mood of the room - and the music that it produces. A certain, unique-to-our-meeting melody. All of this is encoded and played back as music in real time.
Later we can use the melody to replay the mood and dialogue of the night - as everything that was said was encoded into the music heard - but may be decoded to have a recording of the conversation...

Also worth checking out Lil Data [1], an artist affiliated with PC Music who uses TidalCycles and also has a doctorate in some pretty interesting musical research [2]. [1] https://soundcloud.com/lil-data [2] https://scholar.google.co.uk/citations?user=APvoBhUAAAAJ&hl=...
