For those who haven’t seen it, Makepad is also an in-browser code editor with an open-source UI toolkit. Looks like this synth is one of the examples of the UI toolkit.

It feels much more snappier than Electron-based apps.

So is it going to be a Figma style tool?

Yep, with a visual studio style IDE for Rust. so Big project.

Why didn't you integrate with VSC?

Looks like old school synth software in a good way. Cool

We might, but only after we made our own. Our editor will finally break the barrier of inlining widgets/controls performantly. The editor is one piece with the visual designer (2 sides of a coin)

https://github.com/makepad/makepad It's the iron fish project.

The Makepad fractal zoom example crashed my browser in all kinds of of ways that a browser is not supposed to be able to crash.

Rather than going through the browser’s rendering engine, it’s entirely rendered on the GPU. Super impressive.

The 6th note row from the bottom isn't working for me, for some reason! Otherwise, very cool.

It's using lots of workers and SIMD. What is your OS/browser?
