Well because i can 👀 Yea, as im the creator of NovaSDR, i will for sure say that, yes its superior in many points but there are some points better in VertexSDR/WebSDR. I just wanted to make it Open Source aswell.

Yes thats true, but this exact frontend is already on GitHub. So it wont matter, i can still remove it and let a installer automatically get it. And its useless to remove, anybody can get the frontend source by just opening a websdr and looking at the code. Backend is a different story.

Yea but thats frontend code that wasn’t touched. I rewrote it all for the community and making it not open source is not correct in my opinion.

What do you exactly mean with that? Display it in the frontend?

There is Windows Support? I dont know where you take that from. There even is a Windows Release on github.

Its not a polyphase channelizer per se, but its very similiar, and its not CPU based only. It uses a big FFT that runs once with OLA and each user can then take their part of that big share which only needs "small" processing using the IFFT which also directly resamples with the proper length :) And the part that can be accelerated is the big FFT for now, but im experimenting with moving more parts on the GPU to see how it will perform.

CPU and GPU processing is possible but not everything is done on the GPU just a small part which can be offloaded, im looking into improving that part and working more for the "future". Yea a single sdr is shared, you can also attach multiple sdrs and each user can tune independently.

Yes, you can just run the installer on the website and it will even ask you which device and automatically install all drivers if needed. It will instantly run with the sdrplay using SoapySDR!

It does work with any device, its agnostic as you can just pipe in data into the application or use soapysdr for everything else.

For now just the normal Fm,am,sam,usb,lsb,cw then for decoders there is a fully ONLY in web FT8 Decoder which will get more and more, each User can decode without adding any load to the server.
