what is it?
vicidual is an audio-reactive visualization platform that runs directly in your browser. This means it can provide audio visuals to you on any device anywhere in the world, assuming you have internet connection.
I built vicidual with a tech stack that I'm pretty used to - no need to learn new things for this if the current tech stack works perfectly.
Netlify - I'm using Netlify for hosting because it's free, easy, and just works. Read more about how I host my sites on Netlify.
NextJS x MaterialUI - Frontend is a necessary thing but over the years I've found it's gotten more and more complicated with respect to builds and boilerplate. NextJS takes care of a lot of that boilerplate for me so I can just get going and MaterialUI does much the same for styling - this is my go-to starter package for new apps as it's fast to set up and provides pretty much everything I'd ever need (even if it's a little overkill for these small projects)
p5js - I wanted to provide a way to continually build and share the visualizations I've been creating, which I've mostly been building with p5js (for examples monoform and maudern) so I leveraged iFrames to enable the display (and possible interaction with) any web-based visualization.
