As an excel junkie, this is sweet! Well done Adrian!

@stusim Thanks Stuart! More spreadsheet-like functionality is on the way (not too much though, stick to Excel for the taxes).

Hi, I'm a sound designer but I don't understand your product... If you want to go deep feel free to use Max Msp Sound is a creative process not rocket science. Creativity needs tools intuitive as hell. That's my point.

@drdou Thanks for the feedback Nicolas! I completely understand from a creative point of view. I find the text input very expressive and powerful but I can understand why you could think otherwise. I come from a programming background so it's much more natural for me.

Hi PH 👋 I like sound design but I really wanted to dig deep and visualize the process. noise.sh was born from that need. It allows you to experiment, using a spreadsheet and code, with sound and visualize the output. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

Hey Adrian! Interesting experiment, I'm gonna build something like that, but interface would be a typescript lang + ui to display patterns (just like in ableton), and audio would be rendered serverside using rust and streamed to the browser. Love the core idea to express music through cells (excel or code cells). btw do you have any plans to open source it?

@fletcherist Hi Phil, thanks! That sounds like a great idea - you could nearly even cut out the middleman (server) and compile Rust to WASM! I don't have any plans to open-source it at the minute. I'm happy to keep chipping away at this project as I get more feedback but it's something I might consider down the line - especially if people like the syntax. It'd be great to formalise it.
