Wampy, interface addon for Linux-based Walkmans
Wampy is an interface addon for modern Linux-based Walkmans, which allows you to switch between standard interface and custom one using hardware Hold switch. The project was born out of handful of standard UI nitpicks and "can I make a prettier UI?". There is no Rockbox port for my device (NW-A55), so I did a UI myself, unlocking and adding various features along the way, such as: - Winamp 2 skin support - Custom cassette skins - Digital clock skin ported from iPod Nano 7g - Audio amplification table editor for S-Master HX - All audio filters are available regardless of firmware - Per-song…

Wavvy – web-based audio editor (Audacity port)2022 · wavvy.app · ▲530I originally developed a WASM port of wxWidgets for https://dj.app/. When it came time to open source wxWidgets-wasm, I decided to port another complex app as a test case, and Audacity seemed like the obvious choice. In the process, I also needed to write a new host API for PortAudio for playback and recording in the browser. https://github.com/ahilss/wxWidgets-wasm https://github.com/ahilss/portaudio-wasm https://github.com/ahilss/wavvy
