iReal pro is pretty good but IMO they left a lot on the table, for iReal you also need the app, which is annoying. And $14 on a mac. A better model is probably just to have a good and highly functional website, that works even in a mobile browser (like how soundslice did it). In an ideal world there's not even any need for an app, you just use a Chrome bookmark.
Your project looks like a good start and I think there is opportunity here to do some stuff that iReal leaves to be desired. Particularly around community curation, collaboratively editing and voting. On iReal, if a chart is bad, you might edit to fix a chord here or there and save your own version, but then that's the end of the story. You got the better chord but nobody else has it, they all see the same problem. To use a software analogy, it's like you've fixed a bug in your own fork but you never bothered to get that merged back upstream.
With collaboratively edited and voted charts, they will hopefully all end up "peer reviewed" and high quality over time. You can see this happens already in open source software / wikipedia / stack overflow models to name a few examples.
Some little UI suggestions that will be easy to fix immediately:
And, I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but the site ain't too pretty - with a some more modern js bootstrap and html/css spit and polish I think it could be made to look a lot slicker!
Geez Wim, I'd had to be on the other end of one of your code reviews :)
These are all really interesting ideas BTW. A peer reviewed chart site would be awesome. Maybe I'll add that to my list of projects I'll never finish.
Latest update. I just created a standalone grille bar generator service. Just hit it will your web browser at the URL, like this example:
https://chord-bars.azurewebsites.net/api/bar?scale=3&bg=33f&fg=d8e&text=[Em7b5,Am6,'B\u0394',E]&font=Pacaembu&style=0
Here is a screenshot of what it can create. This is the first draft:
So, you can make your own grid charts with a simple HTML page downloading the images.
I'll keep this service running forever since it is free to host it. Just ping me if something doesn't work. Also, I'll do improvements over time.
Instructions:
So, is the idea that the app generates 1 bar at a time that one then copies to paste into an HTML page/Word document?
yeah, but no copying necessary. the page could auto-load the images on the fly. Attached
is an example html file if you want to see what it looks like.
Ah, now I get the idea.
Thanks Jon.
Link doesn't work for me
Oh my, I'm so clueless with technology, I assumed the thread title was about replacing the grille foam on amps like AER 🙄 (which I've done incidentally)
