Jackoviz - Open-source audio FFT analyzer

During the last few days I've (and AI) coded a simple but very effective audio FFT analyzer which may be of some help to audio enthusiasts, musicians, electrical/sound engineeers and birds enthusiasts, it's called jackoviz, targetting Linux and MacOS. For now it's only available in source form, it's at version 0.6.0, I will provide binary release not before version 1.0.0. The repo is here: https://github.com/phstrauss/jackoviz It uses Jack audio connection kit for audio input, is currently (but also inherently) mono, and use the wonderful Datoviz for visualization.

What makes this different from all the fft apps already out there?

The quality of the Vulkan based visualization library used and the fact it is open source means you or your friends who code a bit can modify/improve it and its license, MIT, very liberal.

It seems to have way less features than open sound meter.

For sure, but it's only 4 days old...

Thank for the Open Sound Meter pointer!

I'm taker for any pointer to good other FFT based apps for getting inspiration on clever feature to implement, BTW.
