A modern, cross-platform Audio and MIDI plugin development framework in Rust. You can test your custom DSP/GUI/MIDI logic in a DAW in 5 minutes and stay in memory safe Rust-land the entire time. I know there are more of you musician + engineer hybrids out there!

Show HN: Milkdrop Visualizations with WASM+WebGPU [TW: flashing lights]

mkoh — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 17:51:17 +0000

Went on a side quest while working on an unrelated project. Milkdrop is an audio visualizer that was popular among many Winamp users, and I asked Claude to build a WASM+WebGPU port, and /mostly/ walked away with some guidance peppered throughout the multi-day session.

If you're on a laptop/desktop, it'll ask for mic access and react to whatever you're playing (or surrounding sounds), if you're on mobile you may need to speak into your phone or point it at some music since the mic disables its speaker. Enjoy!

Implemented it, looks much better, thanks for the pointer!

Thanks! Totally valid. Being bilingual, I always found it interesting to see how the same news story is covered across different countries, e.g., how the U.S. covers the Iran war vs. how Korean news outlets cover it. I built this to generalize that feeling of "Oh that's a perspective I don't hear about here" e.g. https://www.newsmaps.io/?q=iran

Mean pooled embeddings of headlines projected onto Oklab color space so that semantically similar articles are similar in color.

Small deltas in shade seem to map to pretty big semantic deltas, however, because the color space is so limited.

Point taken on the legibility! Thanks for the feedback, I have some work to do
