Okay but how do I actually run it? Do I need to self-host it?

"A new holistic exploration of music creation inside your browser."

So it's a browser app, but not hosted on a website anywhere?

I was expecting a link in the GitHub README to run the app but there was nothing.

Eventually, I scrolled back up to find https://opendaw.org/ listed in the right sidebar.

I was expecting a big huge "Run app" button on the main page of the website but instead there's just a picture of a fake box (?) and an FAQ that... doesn't show how to actually run the app.

At the top we've got openDAW (which does _not_ run the app), Mission, Features, Ambassadors, Education, Contribute, Imprint... none of those run the app!

Going back to the README, I see a tiny section about how to "Prepare, Clone, Installation, and Run" but that's as a sub-header to "And big hugs to all our supporters!" so I'm not sure it's related?

Anyway, I give up, could be an interesting project though.

    That looks to be it although I am on my phone and it doesn't fit on my screen.

    It's a neat idea although I don't see anything indicating it supports VST and I'm not sure if it is even possible in a browser app. I'd need that for it to be useful.

    My hope would be that being open source would lead to decent information about how to use it. I have Bitwig but there isn't much documentation out there and a lot of it you have to pay extra for.

      Ah, got it, the actual app is under "Links" at literally the bottom of the README

      If anybody responsible for this project is reading: nobody is going to scroll past supporters, roadmap, flow charts, etc to find a single link to actually try this out.

      A link to https://opendaw.studio/ should be at the top and very prominent in many different spots.
