From raw fork to production system
MRRC started as a fork of F4HTB, a Python-based WebSDR transceiver control. The upstream was Linux-only, hardcoded for a single radio, and had no mobile support. FDE cycle #1 asked: "What does the user actually need?" β cross-platform operation, mobile access, and multi-radio support.
Each cycle produced at least one reusable abstraction: PyAudio cross-platform audio (V2.0), AudioWorklet low-latency pipeline (V3.0), PTT pre-warm reliability framework (V4.0), ATR-1000 standalone proxy (V4.5), WDSP Python wrapper (V4.9), Glassmorphism design system (V5.0), RagChew TX audio presets (V5.1), MemoryChannelManager (V5.5), LearningBuffer (V5.6).
By V5.6.5, 16 reusable assets formed a complete platform. The next project wouldn't start from zero β it would start from leverage.
