Description
I vibe-coded a complete React rewrite of my multi-track audio editor with Claude. Waveform Playlist v5 started as a "let's see how far AI can take this" experiment. The original was vanilla JS (~8 years old). The new version is React + Tone.js with proper TypeScript, tree-shaking, and a modular package structure. What we built: canvas waveforms, drag-and-drop clip editing, 20+ Tone.js effects, AudioWorklet recording, WAV export, annotations, theming. Demos: https://naomiaro.github.io/waveform-playlist/examples/stem-tracks GitHub: https://github.com/naomiaro/waveform-playlist Still in alpha, but functional. I'd estimate 80%+ of the code was AI-generated.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a dev tools tool for Sales yet.
