That’s awesome! I’m not a musician but just impressed by an app with great focus that stands the test of time. Makes me wonder why Apple doesn’t have an area for exactly this type of app; the opposite of Latest Apps.

Might be my pessimistic mood this morning, but I'm curious whether these "awesome x" indices are actually community-owned or whether its code for "one passionate person sifting through a bunch of garbage until they burn out"

Hopefully the next volunteer extends the work of their predecessor, instead of starting from scratch.

In theory, reputation signals from 'awesome' lists and HN threads could inform search engines, LLMs and app market analytics.
