Iā€™m having the same issue, iPhone 12, iOS 17.6.1, mastodon account @halfflat@assemblag.es. It doesnā€™t even crash, just loads the splash screen and gets stuck forever which is pretty odd behavior on iOS.

Finally getting somewhere with this tree sonification project. Gonna slowly add field recordings to it and figure out a better demo mode eventually. https://austinsurroundsound.neocities.org

Managed to understand javascript just enough to take my first steps at sonifying Austin's tree inventory via the Web Audio api. Super basic patch right now, collecting trees into geohashes and "playing" each geohash by scaling population size to pitch and envelope data. diode.zone/w/k9ouaVbQ1D...

A quick demo of my sonification sketch which I rewrote from Pure Data to the Web Audio API.

In the planning stages of sonifying some survey data of Austin trees. Thinking of devloping a unique score for a bunch of geohashes based on the trees in each hash, and then modulate based on the position of the listener. I didnā€™t realize how fun geohashes were! 14 years late to the party.In the planning stages of sonifying some survey data of Austin trees.

The thing about sketching is that itā€™s incredibly humbling 99% of the time, but occasisionally something will just come out and surprise you. The thing about sketching is that itā€™s incredibly humbling 99% of the time, but occasisionally something will just come out and surprise you.
