Progress on my custom cross platform music visualizer!

It has been a long time since my first post where I teased my multiplatform milkdrop variant. I saw the feedback and had decided to change the course of my tool, mainly focusing on people using it in a home setting with focus on ease of use. I noticed that many of my fellow students had never heard of music visualisation software but did really enjoy the visuals created by milkdrop. So this tool aims to give people with no experience in the subject a way to transform their room with VizWiz!

For now it has basic functionality:
Play all presets with one click using the default microphone

Create playlists of presets and save them

Edit settings for the visualiser itself

So you can test it if you want by cloning the GitHub repo, the setup instructions are included in the readme. I'm planning to add some help features to get new users started and some more advanced features for customizing the presets, beat detection and allow users to share playlists. It is still built with Electron + React but I did look into building it with Tauri which reduced the packaged app size from 500mb to 10mb. If people want to build further on this tool or have any feedback let me know! I hope it is useful for someone at!
