Since you say you don't want to support it, any chance of an open source dump so others can do that?

This seems like a great starting point for someone else to take the reigns.

Thanks for your work regardless, I might end up using it. I agree this is a hole that begs to be filled. Hopefully not by another company peddling beatpacks.

Thanks! I'm planning to support the app for my use case and deploy any new feature to the web version regularly. I might publish the native app if there's enough interest.

Re: open source, I'm currently in a position where it would be really tricky to publish any kind of open source code, so that's not an option for now.

Are you planning a desktop app? Particularly, with VST3 fx support?

I already have a desktop app. VST/AU support I'm not sure. On one hand is a nice thing to have, on the other hand is a lot of complexity for not so much gain. Do you normally use plugin FXs when live mixing? If yes, which ones, if you don't mind me asking?

I’m thinking of having at least VST compressor/limited and TrueVerb from Waves to make the mix sound thick.

There is already a reverb effect in Fraktur. Compressor shouldn't be hard, the only risk is cluttering the automation interface with too many curves. Will think about it.
