Yes, the UI is all from scratch. My inspiration was from seeing other audio-reactive videos on Youtube, but those were rendered with either Adobe After Effects or a 3D program like Blender. I wanted to build something that was easy for the

It's open-source so you can see how everything is done. The audio processing is all done with Web Audio APIs.

I haven't looked into it so I am not sure if it's possible. The requirement would be for Electron to be able to run headless with WebGL enabled.

If you simply drop in a song, it will render in realtime. You don't have to render it to a video. I am working on a "live" mode that will act much like Winamp, where you would select a playlist of songs and have it cycle effe

Video is not currently supported but will be in the future.

Hi everybody, I'm the creator of Astrofox. Surprised to see this here, but I'll be glad to answer any questions. Astrofox has been my side project for several years now. It's basically my playground for trying out things like

I actually am using it to record metrics for umami.is: https://app.umami.is/share/8rmHaheU/umami.is I'm using it for all my websites. The reason I went with another site for the demo is because I wanted somet

This may just be me, but I'm very particular about my software. I want it to look and flow a certain way. So I wrote Umami mainly for my needs first. Plus it was just a fun project. I always start side projects so I can learn something

Fair point. I was simply following the "common practice" from other products making these claims, which is to not store personal user data and only generate an anonymous ids. Maybe that's not fully compliant, I don't kno

Agreed, saying it's a one to one alternative to Google Analytics is probably a misnomer. I think a lot of people, myself included, used GA because there were no simpler alternatives and better overkill than nothing.

I will switch it over at some point. I've been running it on my own sites for a month so I just wanted to provide an example with more data to play with.

I will probably implement the daily salt and remove the localStorage code as well just to be safe. But again, I'm not a lawyer here, where do you draw the line? Why not hourly salts? 5 minute salts? What is considered a reasonable effo

For personal projects I tend to write all the CSS and components myself. I just like being able to control everything down to the pixel without reading some documentation. But that's just my workflow. I say just use whatever gets the

This is my first time ever using Prisma and I'm a huge fan of it already. It did run into a few gotchas and would love to discuss.

by mcao 6y ago
It uses prisma.io for the database connections and SQLite is supported. I just haven't had the time to implement it yet and make sure all the custom queries are working. I would welcome a PR.

Event tracking is already supported in the build. I just haven't completed the UI components yet. You simply add a custom CSS class on an element and it will automatically be tracked.

I am not a lawyer so I cannot say for sure what constitutes PII and what breaches GDPR. I am using the same techniques as Fathom Analytics, Plausible.io and other products. Everything is hashed into a unique session id and none of the actua

The local storage is mainly for performance. It's to prevent a round-trip to the database to figure out the session again. The session id will be the same regardless and it can function without local storage. But I do see your point. I

Yes, I'm working on a real-time view at the moment. The demo was down for a while due to too much traffic. It should be back up now.
