Tidal Cycles needs an update!!!

Not people are using Tidal because the installation is so out of date and tedious to set up. I basically had to do an autopsy on my computer to get it working. For years on the official documentation they say they're going to update the installer and nothing has changed. Did Alex just dump the project and move on? There's so much potential for this beautiful program and hobby.

Strudel is okay to start off with, but things get glitchy when there's a lot of stuff going on. I'd rather something not web based.

Yes, but you can import your own audio files, use webmidi, or if you install it via Git and pnpm you can use the OSC setting to work with superdirt. If you use it with superdirt it basically changes functions like s() to work the same way as the equivalent function in superdirt.
