   A platform for remote piano lessons based on the Web MIDI API▲224

   I'm building a video conferencing app designed to facilitate better remote piano lessons. My hope is to solve a lot of the challenges piano tutors and new students deal with when taking lessons through Skype/Zoom. It leverages WebRTC's data transmission to send media, MIDI state, and (eventually) send sheet music files and other musical data. I'm surprised with how well the MVP has worked and would love to hear any feedback or suggestions!

    Beatsync – perfect audio sync across multiple devices▲439

    Hi HN! I made Beatsync, an open-source browser-based audio player that syncs audio with millisecond-level accuracy across many devices. Try it live right now: https://www.beatsync.gg/ The idea is that with no additional hardware, you can turn any group of devices into a full surround sound system. MacBook speakers are particularly good. Inspired by Network Time Protocol (NTP), I do clock synchronization over websockets and use the Web Audio API to keep audio latency under a few ms. You can also drag devices around a virtual grid to simulate spatial audio — it changes the…

    https://github.com/TomasHubelbauer/webrtc-data-channel-demo Hi! I made this GitHub repo to try and show WebRTC data channels and the connection establishment flow in a different way from what I was able to find online. My aim with this repository is to make WebRTC data channels accessible to any web developer by showcasing offerer and answerer separately for total novices (makes it much clearer what's going on on each end of the connection) as well as combined approach where a peer can be both offerer and answerer. I use postMessage instead of a real signalling channel,…
