Built a browser-native vocal FX + recording app entirely with AudioWorklets and pure JS.

No WebRTC.
No plugins.
No Electron.
No server-side audio processing.

Everything runs locally in the browser:

• real-time vocal FX
• waveform rendering
• recording pipeline
• auto-backups every 10 seconds
• zero-upload privacy-first architecture

Main challenge was building a stable low-latency audio chain that worked reliably across browsers without dropping recordings.

Current status:

• ~20 users
• 1 paying customer
• fully working beta

I originally built this because most creator audio tools are either:

• too complicated
• DAW-centric
• plugin-heavy
• or cloud-upload dependent

Now I’m debating whether to:

1. keep growing it
2. open-source parts of it
3. sell the project

Would love thoughts from other devs and builders.

I've lost nearly 5 people I know.

Not lost like they're gone. Lost like I forgot their name.

The girl I helped sell lemonade on the side of the road. The person who had a crush on me for the first time. They're still out there somewhere. But their names are gone. The story of how we met is slowly eroding. The details I thought I'd always remember - fading.

They were all like embers. Giving warmth in the cold. And then quietly going out.

So I built Ember.

It's a private journal for the people in your life. Not a CRM. Not a contact list. Something closer to a life archive - where every person who has ever mattered to you gets their own space.

How you met them. The stories you lived together. The interactions, logged simply. A journal where you can tag people like @/Hubert , worlds !college, places &hotel. The app quietly reminds you when someone is fading - no guilt, just awareness.

Each person has their own world - sometimes two, like someone who started as a colleague and became a friend.

Still building. Honest feedback welcome.

(You can dm me and i can add in testflight when the app is ready. Thanks)

PS: added the current app and some design screens I have. thanks.

And the app i planned to be fully free without restrictions and will have a 4usd subscription for encryption, backup and sync on iCloud similar to obsidian model.
