Music visualization API for apps

Create a lightweight library that generates music-reactive animations from audio input. Target app developers wanting to add visualizers.

Why now

With spatial computing and always-on displays, ambient visualizers are having a resurgence.

Who for
App developers
Business model
SDK licensing
Effort
A few weeks

Music visualization is popular but requires complex audio analysis code that most app developers don't want to write.

Build a cross-platform library (native + web) that handles audio processing and outputs simple animation parameters (colors, shapes, movement). Developers plug it into their existing graphics stack.

Sell licenses to app developers and game studios. Offer free tier for indie projects.

Start with basic spectrum analysis and a few preset visual styles.

Risk: Niche market with limited recurring revenue potential beyond initial license sales.
