TokenGesture — VidViz https://tokengesture.ai/vidviz/ Building VidViz — a node-based music visualisation studio (Electron + React + Python). en © 2025–2026 Miles Lord Performance mode: hiding the node graph from VJs https://tokengesture.ai/vidviz/performance-mode/ https://tokengesture.ai/vidviz/performance-mode/ Sat, 11 Apr 2026 09:00:00 GMT VidViz vj live ux A Resolume-style clip-and-layer mixer for live sets, secretly compiling itself into the same node graph the editor uses — plus what "surgical" graph edits mean when the show is running. The beat grid: replacing detected beats with a formula https://tokengesture.ai/vidviz/beat-grid/ https://tokengesture.ai/vidviz/beat-grid/ Wed, 01 Apr 2026 09:00:00 GMT VidViz audio beat-detection architecture Why VidViz stopped trusting its beat detector's timestamps and rebuilt musical time as BPM + phase — one function that the ruler, the nodes, and the sequencer all agree on. Launching a three-week-old app: licensing, packaging, and a demo that can't be broken https://tokengesture.ai/vidviz/launch-and-licensing/ https://tokengesture.ai/vidviz/launch-and-licensing/ Sat, 28 Mar 2026 09:00:00 GMT VidViz licensing electron launch Turning the VidViz prototype into a product — Ed25519-signed licenses, a Fastify/Stripe backend, PyInstaller-bundled Python inside a DMG, and demo content with a lock on it. Giving AI agents eyes and hands inside a running Electron app https://tokengesture.ai/vidviz/cdp-debug-bridge/ https://tokengesture.ai/vidviz/cdp-debug-bridge/ Fri, 27 Mar 2026 09:00:00 GMT VidViz mcp electron ai-assisted-development A CDP bridge for inspecting live app state from the shell, and an MCP server that lets agents build node graphs in the running app — because you can't debug a GUI you can't see. The 60fps war: allocations, culling, and quality that degrades politely https://tokengesture.ai/vidviz/realtime-performance/ https://tokengesture.ai/vidviz/realtime-performance/ Thu, 26 Mar 2026 09:00:00 GMT VidViz performance webgl react Three weeks of performance work on a WebGL node graph — killing per-frame garbage, teaching the executor what not to render, and an adaptive quality system that asks before it downgrades. Getting pixels out: WebCodecs export, NDI, and a Rust LAN caster https://tokengesture.ai/vidviz/pixels-out/ https://tokengesture.ai/vidviz/pixels-out/ Sat, 21 Mar 2026 09:00:00 GMT VidViz webcodecs streaming ffmpeg Every way VidViz gets frames off the canvas — a deterministic WebCodecs export pipeline, WebRTC and NDI streaming, and a hardware-encoded LAN cast with its own receiver app. The sequencer: giving a node graph a sense of song https://tokengesture.ai/vidviz/track-sequencer/ https://tokengesture.ai/vidviz/track-sequencer/ Fri, 20 Mar 2026 09:00:00 GMT VidViz sequencer audio ux Layers, envelopes, skip sections, and a bridge node — how VidViz choreographs visuals over a whole track, and the audio-crackle bug that Web Audio automation gifted us.
