There are a lot of platforms for running PD on the web, on tablets, or on
something other than the native PD GUI (I lack the proper generic term here, so
I'm going with "external platforms"). These days it feels like a new one pops
up every few months. I can think of these off the top of my head, but I'm sure
there are more:
LibPDDroid PartyRJDJMobMuPlatGemmalibHeavy Compilerweb-pd
Would someone be interested in compiling a comparison table for these
platforms, or does such a list exist already? I'm picturing something like this:
NAME----DEVELOPER----OS COMPATIBILITY-----PD EXTERNALS------ACTIVE
DEVELOPMENT---ETC
LibPD----Steve-------------Linux/Windows-----------Vanilla only-----------Yes
RJDJ------Betty--------------IOS/Android---------------Yes----------------------No
ETC------
(facts are all wrong here--I've included them just for illustration).
I think such a thing would be important because a: it would help new users find
the right tools for their own projects and b: it would be a good way of
promoting these wonderful products. I think there are already enough of them
that we need such a comparison, and there are still likely to be more in the
future.
I'm happy to help with this project, although I shouldn't be the one to lead
it, as I'll only get it wrong. If anyone wants to take it up, please help me
find a better term than "external platforms", as both of these words already
have multiple meanings in PD.
