I guess this is a boring and predictable thing to say, but I miss seeing a project like this and being excited about it. Instead I looked at the codebase, see that it seems LLM-generated and assume it hasn't had much thought or care put into it, so I'm not really motivated to even try it out. Sorry. :-/

I'll come out and say it, heavily AI-assisted. First rust project, and wanted to dive on in with something that I'd been wanting to make. Lots of iteration, almost entirely free opencode tier models and agentic edits. I know what behavior I'm looking for though, and rust is pretty good at finding obvious errors (clippy too). It's not a production app, and it's just for fun, so ya. :)

Do not assume that just makes you a jerk.

LLM use has nothing to do with thought or care in the same way that using a stencil doesn't.

Stop thinking your pencil is better than his stencil. It has nothing to do with design or creativity.

Perhaps one needs to go a level up: if making the program is now semi-trivial, it remains to be proven if using the program to actually perform is. If I have a Star Trek replicator that can reproduce a perfect Stradivarius for me, is it any less impressive when I play a beautiful song on it?

If we want to get excited about a mixing board... we probably need to see someone using it in ways that traditional mixers don't facilitate.

exactly this. Id think the main thing for this would be to get midi controllers working. its a digital tool for digital djs. looks a bit niche ofc if you look at 'the market' etc. but as OP said for newer thigs like algorave and just for fun it looks pretty cool :D.

id love this workin on a phone with a little usb-c midi controller attached!

That's a little uncharitable. I get where it's coming from, because I also still feel a tinge of (hypocritical) disappointment when I realize things are built with LLMs, but I truly think we need to start moving past this. It's not a giant corporation trying to scam you out of your hard earned money by passing slop off as a lovingly crafted product: it's somebody's pet project, somebody who clearly had a fun "what if" idea and was able to materialize it over time, with a TBD amount of care/iteration/refinement. I think it's something worth engaging with. Worst case scenario it sucks, like many cheapo projects do -- best case scenario it's awesome and/or it sparks a new interesting idea in somebody else.

Does it do what it says on the tin? If so, does it matter that it's made with an LLM?

In my own experience, LLMs+TUIs are surprisingly effective. They deal with the tedium of ncurses development much more than I can. It took an LLM about an hour to put a TUI over recutils so that I can monitor task progress. I doubt I could have done the same that shortly. My point is, 'that it works' is much more important to me than how it works.

You’re going to be disappointed to see a continuous deluge of even more slop on Show HN.
