If something hits, you **grab** it. If it doesn't, you **re-roll**. If you collect enough good ones, you can rearrange them, edit, and copy or download the result.\n\nIt's especially good for when you're half-singing, half-thinking — testing ideas, rhythms, phrasing.  \nEven when you're just mumbling gibberish, Riff Rap tries to **meet you halfway**.  \nIt fills in the gaps, makes sense of the nonsense, and helps you catch what was almost there.\n\nIt's not about getting it right. It's about getting it *out*.\n\n---\n\n## What it does\n\n- 🔵 Turns your vocal gibberish into usable lyric ideas  \n- 🟣 Snap the lines that feel good  \n- 🟢 Re-roll the ones that don't until they make sense  \n- 🟡 Test rhythms, flows, and melodies without committing  \n- 🟠 Rearrange, edit, compile, and export when it's feeling right  \n\nThat's it. No more, no less. It gets out of your way.\n\n---\n\n## Why?\n\nBecause mumble-to-meaningful is where the magic happens.  \nBecause sometimes you need to make a mess to find the line.  \nBecause your best vocal ideas often come from half-formed thoughts and rhythms.\n\nIt's a bridge between your voice's raw energy and words that actually work.\n\n---\n\n## How it works\n\n1. **Speak** — Mumble, freestyle, or just make sounds with rhythm\n2. **Snap** — Riff Rap intelligently interprets your vocal patterns\n3. **Refine** — Keep re-rolling until the gibberish becomes gold\n4. **Arrange** — Drag, edit, and compile your best lines\n5. **Export** — Take your lyrics anywhere\n\nThe rougher, the better — Riff Rap thrives on turning vocal chaos into lyrical order.\n\n---\n\n## Built With\n\n- **SvelteKit** – Reactive UI with minimal overhead\n- **Tailwind CSS + DaisyUI** – For the SoftStack™ design aesthetic\n- **Google Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite** – AI-powered voice transcription that understands context\n- **Custom Audio Visualizer** – So you know when you're being heard\n- **PWA-ready** – Install as an app on any device\n- **Brain-friendly UX** – Designed for creative flow states\n\n---\n\n## Setup\n\n1. **Clone and install dependencies:**\n   ```bash\n   git clone https://github.com/pibulus/riffrap.git\n   cd riffrap\n   npm install\n   ```\n\n2. **Add your Gemini API key:**\n   Create a `.env` file in the project root:\n   ```bash\n   GEMINI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here\n   ```\n   Get a free API key at [Google AI Studio](https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey)\n\n3. **Start development server:**\n   ```bash\n   npm run dev\n   # or open in browser automatically\n   npm run dev -- --open\n   ```\n\n## Building \u0026 Deployment\n\nRiff Rap now runs as a Node-backed SvelteKit app:\n\n```bash\nnpm run build\n```\n\nThe built app outputs to the `/build` directory and should be run with a server process plus:\n\n```bash\nPORT=3002\nHOST=0.0.0.0\nORIGIN=https://riffrap.app\nGEMINI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here\nGEMINI_MODEL=gemini-3.1-flash-lite-preview\nALLOWED_ORIGINS=https://riffrap.app\nAPI_RATE_LIMIT=10\nAPI_RATE_WINDOW_MS=60000\nMAX_UPLOAD_BYTES=15728640\n```\n\n---\n\n## Fueled by\n\nMezcal, churros, tramadol and the B-52s\n\n---\n\n## License\n\nRiff Rap Proprietary License – All rights reserved.
