AudioWorklets IDE

The AudioWorkletNode is the one of the most widely-used and functional nodes in the Web Audio API. Given its unique ability to allow developers to run code in a worker thread, AudioWorklets allow for real-time high-performance sound processing that also does not block the main thread’s execution in potentially computationally-expensive tasks. I propose creating a specialized IDE tailored for AudioWorklet development. Inspired by existing web-based IDEs like FaustIDE and WebChucK, it aims to streamline the process of creating processors. The proposed IDE would offer features such as importing code from AudioWorklet examples, providing GUI elements for visualization, and integrating tools for testing code, including precise test cases and a graphical editor for audio graphing. The goal is to enhance user experience and facilitate the creation and testing of AudioWorklet implementations.
