I’m a software engineer and I use it everyday. I haven’t gone to StackOverflow in months. I use it like interactive documentation. I don’t even have to leave the terminal to use it as I have a cli tool called shell_gpt.
There is a service worker that will prefetch all of the event handlers currently in view. So when the person clicks on the button, the browser will fetch the JS, but the service work short circuits that request and returns the JS instantly. They have plans to make the prefetching even smarter by gathering information on which chunks are most used and prefetch those first.
If it's not problematic, then why would GitHub put in the time to make this change? In your worldview, it might not be problematic, but for others it is.
Last August I had an idea for a weekend project and created a library called 8bit.js. I figured it should be more than just 8bit oscillator sounds and broadened the API so other people could create their own Instruments, hence the change to Band.js. I'm now looking for people to collaborate with who are Audio Engineers and also know the Web Audio API who can help me create new Instrument Packs for Band.js.
If you've seen this library in the past, you should know that I've recently refactored the whole thing to work with Browserify. I've also added the ability to change the tempo of a song, even while it's playing (you can test that out with the examples below). I've also fixed numerous bugs and performance issues.
If you would like to hear what it can do right now with just your basic Oscillators and white noise, checkout the examples in the README.md of the repo.
If anyone else is musically inclined and knows a bit of JavaScript, you can fork any of the songs from the examples in Plnkr and create your own song :). If you do, let me know and I'll add it to the list of Examples.
Hey guys, thanks for posting my library. I put it up yesterday and it just exploded all over the net haha. I plan on making it easier to input notation as well as support the importing of midi files (although I'm not sure how that would be useful since there are already players for those). This library started out as an experiment last weekend, but it seems it could be something that Game Devs want to use in their games :). So I'll be keeping up development and most likely creating a GUI to create songs this weekend.
