Ever since childhood I've wanted to play around with modular synthesis, so now I'm building an application to do just that!

A photo of the UI would go a long way here to making people want to try this and some audio samples/video samples!

I guess you're right, I've added one now.

Reminds me of https://www.sync-modular.org/

"In 2001, the developer was hired by Native Instruments in order to develop Reaktor 5 with core technology."

Vcv rack already did that, but in c++. Does this improve on it?

From what I can tell, VCV is a bit higher level, I aim to let users combine individual parts into modules, as well as customizing their visuals.

Also, funny thing but I did not know about VCV before today :)

Have you heard of Pure Data or Max/MSP? :)

I've heard about Pure Data but here aim is to a) emulate the feel of a real rack (to which end I am rewriting the UI from scratch) b) relatedly, aim is to be friendly to non-programmers, cause all musicians I know can't use a computer for more than opening a DAW

Also check out Automatonism (https://www.automatonism.com/), which is actually built with Pd.

Or NI Reaktor.
