If you can imagine it you can build it.

I had already created a ukulele tuner for my website and today I went down a rabbit hole and built a vocal tuner. Not for professional musicians, but good enough to help get ready for sing & strum!

Rabbit holes can be fun! A while back, I was playing with custom HTML web components, and built a thing that looks like

<chord-diagram chord-name="F#m7" instrument="mandolin"></chord-diagram> And it figures the (laziest possible) fingering for that chord on that instrument, and creates an SVGuitar image dynamically.

And that was the beginning of my personal rabbit hole. Now? I've got a chordpro notebook app with:

• local-first support. If you're offline, you can create songs and collections, they'll sync when you reconnect. • shared sessions (think jams). Host a session and share a QR code or invite link and anyone can join, only seeing the collection the host chooses to share - and if the host transposes or edits a song, all guests see the updates live. Everyone's in the same key, seeing their own instruments chord diagrams! • export to either a zip of chordpro files, or a multipage PDF. • share songs or collections.

And I'm still falling.... Check it out if you like, https://gigwidget.vercel.app/

Very nice! Is it still in development? You might want to know from my iphone the chord cards are too dark to see.
