I'm all for having more options. Though deep down I just want everyone to work on Ardour lol.

How do these browser based DAWs stay funded? Is there enough community money to keep these things up?

Ardour is a terrible DAW. I don't think these people make music.

They learn this shit at college, don't they?

Yep.

It feels like people are put there just to plant these ideas into the heads of the next generation of developers.

[–] tony_nocturnal@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 months ago

That sounds great, but I was not able to find how a developer can meaningfully contribute to this project. But Readmeisounds promising.

web-based

They almost had it.

There's a similar effort to have a figma alternative. It's called penpot. But when I tried to self-host it, first it's inconvenient, second it missed features, that was there in their official site. I wish it good luck, but Ardour is pretty good already.

It could be nice. People complaining about it being web based are missing the point of such tools.
