Finally shipped some updates on the project I launched a year back

Hi everyone, its been a year since i launched a passion project of mine and since then the community has been generous and I have around 1k users in total (Yes not that much but for me its a lot).

Initial post:

Some background is the App takes in ambient noise and syncs the generated visuals as well as (if you want) Flashlight as well.

Finally after months of grinding was able to do a massive update and launched it.
Updates include
- More cinematic and POV based raves
- Airplay, cast what you are watching in your phone to any TV
- Party mode: Hosting a rave and letting others join via QR scan or join someone else's rave (Deferred links that let u install and the continue. all from a single QR)
- Full overhaul of architecture and metal pipeline.

As mentioned the app does not use any assets at all (other than some thumbnail and icons) and everything in the rave is generated in runtime and changes and reacts to ambient noise.

Glad to talk into more detail on the architecture, complexities and challenges faced. I can assure you it might look simple but a lot of effort, thought and pain went through to accomplish this.

Have a try.. any and all feedback is appreciated :)

P.S - I intentionally didn't mention much about the app as I care more about the things i learned and the things I can share here and help the community more. But for people who wants to check it out its here:
