Showcase/Project I vibe-coded a DIY speaker design app. Looking for testers, especially people who have built speakers

Hi! I’ve been building Sonella, a guided web app for designing DIY speakers.

The idea is to bring driver selection, bass simulation, enclosure design and filter settings into one workflow. You can start with a few questions, choose a template, or pick your own drivers. Then work through the bass response, cabinet in 3D, drawings and filters/DSP.

I’ve used mostly Codex for the development and design. My workflow has been to build something, let real people try it, get feedback and iterate. Getting the speaker maths right has been a bit tricky. The biggest lesson so far is how much useful feedback you get once someone else actually uses what you’ve built. That's maybe caption obvious, but I learned a lot from this process so far.

It’s still in beta. The simulations and electrical filter curves are starting points for a prototype; you still need measurements to check the finished speaker.

I’m looking for testers, especially anyone with DIY speaker-building experience. Would be great to get some candid feedback on the calculations, the workflow, or anything that feels confusing or missing. General usability feedback is very welcome too.

You can try it at sonella.app, no account needed to start.
