Update! SoundRoom will be on pause for a bit while I figure out how juggle this new contract, grad school, and life in general. I fully intend to finish the project, I just need some time to get everything together!

Bit late on this update! Started a contract with a tech startup and have been busy with that. So my latest focus has just been clerical work/redefining and organizing tasks and goals. I've condensed this all into one Master Doc to keep me focused. Next feature is supposed to be sound search!

Thanks a bunch for trying it out! I’m doing my darn hardest to get the first version up!

Did not end up making full upload pipeline to automate uploads...BUT the user upload/download pipeline works! I used a combo of Cloudflare R2 and Supabase. Confusingly fun stuff and after a nasty bug trace huggingface works too. So we continue!

#buildinpublic #vercel #webdev #cloudflare

Update: need to upload sounds for testing -> need upload pipeline! -> want to try AI audio classification/tagging -> hugging face! -> want to use vercel serverless funcs -> strange vite/transformers.js json parse bug 🤬🤬🤬

#buildinpublic #webdev #vite #AI #vercel #headache

A few things: mismatch between how sound sources are played when they’re loaded from a save vs added to a new scene, asynchronous race conditions, and vue reactivity stopping audio playback (i think). first has been kind of solved with a boolean flag. second is fixed. third is being investigated

parts of the AudioEngine work when adding new sound sources/loading saves and even how looped playback works. (e.g. letting the scheduler loop manually as opposed to AudioElement.loop = true) and there are still more bugs to iron out. i just wish i could get past this part 😭😭

I’m not sure how but I got sidetracked lol. I was in the middle of implementing impulse responses and ended up working on sound scheduling instead (optionally variable gaps between sound playbacks for shorter clips). This has been a HEADACHE and i had to change how (cont.)

#webdev #buildinpublic

Today I'm finally getting to the fun part of SoundRoom: Impulse Responses (basically reverb and other similar effects) and how to make them!

This is going to really bring the experience of SoundRoom to life if I figure out how to do this correctly lol. Probably gonna start with premade IRs thi

And I've also made the choice to converted all audio from wav and mp3 to .ogg to keep storage down as a little sidenote.

But in all all is going surprisingly well!

It's my first time working with caching but I chose hybrid model it uses in-memory caching and IndexedDB. It is self-pruning and removes the least recently used audios last.

I've switched over from Supabase buckets to Cloudflare r2. I prefer Supabase's api but my budget of $0 is king lol.

There have been many many updates to SoundRoom and I'm excited about all of them but what I'm most proud of is something that most may never notice: the audio cache manager!

#buildinpublic #webdev #memorymanagement

Y’all i’ve hit that terrible wall where product vision gets throttled by budget. I’ve got a lot of thinking to do regarding caching, indexing, and lazy loading.

#webdev #helpme

And as always, I'd appreciate anyone out there trying out the app on desktop (it's not yet mobile friendly but there's a feedback form at the bottom of the help menu):

And although it may not look like much, Room save, delete, and load now works. Just got it up and running today!

Log #2! Nobody told me setting up the whole user auth flow is the hardest part....but it's done! Password reset and all! Page isn't public yet but I'm making great headway.

#buildinpublic #webdev #vuejs

it sure feels like it 😭

Basic save/load state now works! It's local storage only though so if u clear your browser it's gone. but this should speed up dev a fair amount. Less time spent on me placing sound nodes.

I lied. It in fact did not work before this lmao. Seems to be an issue with index splicing and whatever happens when not removing sources in reverse order.

thank you! it has a long way to go 😅

First log! Woot woot! 🙌🏾
Been working on the load/save features. Had to undo and rewire a lot of reactive state just to get the undo/redo to work.

Not done yet tho cuz Konva nodes don’t delete when matching library sources delete (it worked before this 🥲)

#buildinpublic #webdev #vuejs #webaudio

Totally forgot to post the link to the prototype y'all lol

🚧 I’m building SoundRoom in public!
It’s a solo SaaS for immersive 3D audio environments (think: study, vibe, focus).

I’ll share:
✅ Tech stack + features
✅ Dev struggles
✅ Audio curation + insights

I post updates weekly 🧵
