Speaking of vintage audio interface with a modern touch, I love my stereo amp: a Yamaha amp with the old look of the Yamaha amp from the 80s, but with also a tiny OLED display on the bottom, "hidden" in a black band and that only shows fonts in blue (imitating an old monochrome seven-segment display or something).
It is a thing of beauty. One could lament that the knobs are good looking but just cheap plastic knobs and not, unlike back in the days (at least on some models), actual metallic knobs.
It's a fully integrated amp with ethernet, a modern DAC, many input sources, room correction, etc. but it looks like a hi-fi component pulled straight of an 80s stereo stack.
P.S: there's also the same amp but with vu-meters and a bit more powerful etc. but then it gets really pricey
Oh I love this a surprising amount. Also a good reminder of some of the dividends of vibe coding -- this would have been an extremely useful tool for at least two decades of web designers if published in the early 2000s. Even now for a type nerd who is not a designer, it was fun to play with -- really cool.
The thing it makes me wonder is why we need vibe coding to create such an app --- why can't there be a nifty RAD tool for web development like to VB6 which makes this sort of thing easy and natural --- I expected LiveCode to become that, but they never seemed to get any traction w/ their HTML5 Canvas implementation.
SpiderBasic might be usable thus, but I've yet to find a nice graphical IDE which ties into the code in a fashion which makes sense to me.
the export button actually being useful is the difference here, most of these type scale tools are fun to play with then you have to manually rebuild everything anyway. gonna steal this workflow for setting up type styles before I even open framer
I'm such a sucker for skeuomorphism... got chills clicking and turning those knobs

oh no I summoned the audiophiles by talking about knobs and chills :D
just kidding, looks dope
