This is really cool, though for something like HN I would expect at least something talking about the design or implementation behind the scenes... otherwise this is just a drum machine (regardless of how neat it is)

For example, I'd like to know more about how React is involved here. Does it use JUCE in the plugin backend? etc

So it's using a web view? What's the memory usage like? How long does it take for the GUI to show up and be interactive?

What are you using in the C++ engine? CMajor? JUCE?

mathieudombrock•22m ago
I'm not OP but I've worked on JUCE plugins with React UIs for JUCE8 web view.

The UI load is pretty instantaneous.

Everything uses the native web view. This means that on macOS you get WebKit and on Windows you get Chrome (or sometimes IE).

So it's generally faster than Electron. In the project I worked on it was not noticeably slower than native UI.

Memory usage is really close to what you might expect from any other app running native web view.

Looks Nice, but not sure if it should be a show hn post honestly. maybe expand on the tech, otherwise it's just a product launch
