ReaperWRB is a collaboration between The REAPER Blog and Michael Klier and what it does is simplify the process of building a web remote to trigger actions in REAPER.
You may have seen my video recently on making a basic custom action remote, WRB is a MUCH better way.

Sounds awesome, will definitely get it!
This seems incredibly cool but why “only” toolbars conversion and not any action in Action List ?
Or am i missing something ?
Any action can go into a toolbar and then converted to a web remote. Most users already know how to use the menu editor and for many actions this will be faster and easier than copying action IDs.
That said, adding a single action via text paste should be possible in an update.
Need a better video-demo 🙂
what would you like to see in a demo video?
What I can do in the builder, included icons, toggles working, scaling.
How about accessing all other web-interface-pages with links?

I’ll make the How-to video public
“How about accessing all other web-interface-pages with links?” I’ll have to check if that is possible in an update. It’s easy enough to do when making the remote through html, but that’s something we’re trying to avoid with this product.
Cool 🙂
Just got it awhile ago and I’m loving it so far! I realized that i can use zoom in and out on the browser to scale it vertically, which allows me to easily fit 4-6 rows of 6 buttons on my tablet screen, so if anyone was struggling there, give it a try! The only problem is that if I do that the text becomes pretty small, not to small to read, but a little eye taxing, so if you could include a font size function, that would be great. To a similar end I imagine people will have differing opinions on whether the text would appear at the top or bottom of the button, but personally I would prefer the top, because i find that i cover the text with my finger when i press it, which just bothers me somehow 😛 The only other feature -request I think I’d have is maybe a little overly complex, but a few specialized buttons would be cool, for example an up down 2 button configuration for pitching things up and down, and a 4 direction configuration, similar to arrow keys on a keyboard for navigating and zoom would be cool. Just me dreaming lol, what you have here is already really impressive, I was happy to pay for it!
Oh and one other thing I just realized would be really nice would be a box that you can copy the code for the current color from, and then a box that you can paste color codes into. That would make it alot easier to choose your own color palletes.
Is there a visual feedback on play/pause/rec-state?
probably could be, but this is not designed for transport control. Cockos & White Tie have done a great job with that already!
Ok, then å tab with links to those pages is maybe a good idea
I’m not sure we need to duplicate functions already in the browser. Right now you can open the different web layouts in tabs on android/chrome https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Q4g5KFc4tuFAY9mY81x5k7YKI29_Tw9r/view?usp=sharing and iOS/Safari https://drive.google.com/file/d/13DGVHxkx3tFSKUzHBqxRUWPHKMU903hT/view?usp=sharing
Does this cope with the different Reaper action sections? Specifically, can this build a page that will execute actions in both the main Reaper interface and the MIDI Editor?
Hi! Good question. We focused on the Main action list so far but we’d like it to work equally well for the MIDI editor. We’re working on it!
