Docs & Blog post
My previous goal with this project was to learn audio programming. I wrote about it in this blog post. Since until then, a cambrian explosion of webassembly-based browser languages have appeared, I'm currently trying to make WASM SYNTH work properly again.
Compatibility
Since it seems that many browsers-vendors are arbitrarily changing APIs these days, I'm gonna keep track of WASM SYNTHs compatability here.
