Actually looking at it on mobile I see a few issues. Scroll on mobile interferes with the slider. Also some of the font sizes are too large and overflow. Is the source repository public? Or was the request for a PR hyperbole?

Edit: I see it was posted a few comments up.

Honestly Claude is not great at front end design. So it’s more than an “off chance”. That being said I think the site looks fine.

Yes. I’ve wanted something like this for a while. I’ve always wondered why there isn’t version control for DAWs. So many times I’ve spent hours editing a track and accidentally saved it without specifying a unique file name. Only to open it later and wish I could go back to before the changes that fucked it up.

That doesn’t look similar at all. That looks like an app for making loops on your phone.

Pretty sure there’s a shorter path to the top of the intestines than through the nose but I’m no Biologist.

> Why would I do that, if I can easily extract all the relevant, plain text (and even structured one) and read it in my editor instead?

Because that’s an enormous pain in the ass. Not scalable at all.

That's a false dichotomy. Those aren't the only two options.

I've never heard of that product but man, that's an... unfortunate name.

That still does not mean it is not fraudulent.

Yep. They'll do anything but build their controllers with hall effect joysticks.

The steam deck is 4 year old hardware. The Switch 2 came out last summer. So if they're about on-par performance-wise, doesn't that prove OP's point?
