Looks pretty awesome.

Minor nit: hitting backspace to delete a clip (pretty common in editing apps) forces the browser to go back.

You might also want to catch other types 'leave page' events and ask for confirmation so that the user doesn't lose their work accidentally.



Thanks for catching that. Hot keys have been a pain. I also found an issue with copy pasting inside text boxes.

I promised myself and my startup friends I wouldn't touch code until I handled doing marketing and sales.

It's on the backlog now, thanks for letting me know. This feedback goes along way :)


Mousetrap is the best shortcut library I’ve used, and can help you do this well, catching a bunch of edge cases


e.keyUp...c'mon man, don't need a whole library


Don't really need a lib.

Things to consider. If the textbox is active then you need to respect the native key commands for the textbox.

You have the ability to cmd + c & cmd + v to copy & paste objects in the editor. So you need to most likely prevent the event key from propagating upwards inside keyUp within the textbox.

So you aren't wrong it's just one more thing to consider amongst the million other things.

I have a backlog and will knock these out all in one day easily :)


You’d be surprised — for ex: where do you listen for that event? Something has to be in focus — most kb implementations rely on this and fail.


Also, trim music gave an error for me too. Do you have a place to drop bug reports?


Yeah. I think this is a known bug. Most likely if you dont move the trimmer or try and trim the whole clip messes up the FFMPEG command.

Hasnt effected paying users yet, so it's lower priority, but will be addressed soon.

I am thinking about improving that UX. Instead of immediately prompting the user to trim. This will be in the toolbar as a "tool". So if you want to trim a podcast episode you can, that is the main use case, so it might make the most sense this way.

I slapped this in quickly because I was targeted podcasters for the first few customers and this was a critical tool to have.
