AI Analysis

●MidEye CandyCozy

Custom WGSL shaders are cool but 30fps alpha with manual window management limits utility.

Strengths
  • •WGSL shader support enables custom visualizations via naga conversion
  • •Zero CPU when hidden thanks to egui 0.34 render loop optimization
  • •Cidre integration for native Apple audio API access
Weaknesses
  • •Alpha quality with manual window management, no auto-layout
  • •30fps ceiling and admitted performance overhead issues
Target Audience

Rust developers, audio enthusiasts

Post Description

I built a little audio visualizer that lets you configure multiple panels with custom WGSL shaders. With the app in focus just hit "c" to open the config panel :)

I am not really good with shaders atm but it is possible to convert shaders you like with a tool called naga, link in the article...

A nice visualization can boost your productivity by up to 20% btw :)
