Wavacity developer here. I released this a year ago under the name "wavvy" but needed to rename the project because of a trademark conflict.

How did you get wxwidgets to compile to the web? Was it a lot of work?

This is the part I want to know also

I still do not understand. WxWidgets should rely on native controls rather then rendering them right? Does it mean that there is a branch of WxWidgets that renders the controls?

[skrebbel]

I wondered the same and found this comment explain it well: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32689473 (the edit on the bottom in particular)

[winrid]

Maybe it's using gtk and compiling that to wasm and rendering via canvas?

[wyldfire]

Great job!

The world needs more folks to take initiative like this.

This is pretty cool!

Maybe add a description and URL in the repo settings? https://github.com/ahilss/wavacity

(and linking back to the GitHub from Wavacity would be nice too, as right now it's not obvious it's available)

I like this name too, it's even better.

I can't believe they have the audacity to rename their project

[rpastuszak]

The chutzpah! Would be a good name too

[helpfulContrib]

Can this somehow be used to edit a file on a system remotely? Say I have some .wav's on a raspberryPi, can I publish them, edit, send them back to that raspberryPi?

Because that seems to me to be a very awesome use-case ..

[bjackman]

What motivated you to build this? Just because it's cool (it is cool!) or to serve a practical need?

[dylan604]

There was a lot of discussion back when Audacity decided to make some changes. I don't remember what they were specifically, but I do remember a few threads here about forks of the project. I don't remember the name wavvy, so maybe this is another fork. I was thinking the fork discussed here previously also was a play on the "*city" name as well.

[conradludgate]

IIRC They 1. Changed the license 2. Added a CLA 3. Added telemetry to the prebuilt binary

I think the largest of those forks is tenacity [1]. Some of the other forks were incorporated into it.
