I'm working on my guitar practice app, Captrice[1]. Last week, I added an interactive metronome tutorial[2] in the app to help onboard beginners (quite a challenge). This week I'm …

I’m working on my guitar practice app, Captrice https://www.captrice.io after a brief gap. The last few months I’ve been reading a lot about neuroscience behind learning and practi…

I’m also interested in this. I have a similar use case, to implement “cross device sync” functionality for a local-only webapp. I tried out automerge but it felt like it’s meant fo…

Yeah, a generic tool could be useful. Thanks for replying. It gave me some ideas!

I've been building a desktop app on the side that addresses the problem of screenshots getting accumulated on disk over a period of time. It provides an alternate workflow for capt…

Same here. I use checklists heavily for my projects. I write them in (emacs) org mode in a way that I can “execute” them repeatedly. Have written about it: https://www.naiquev.in/r…

Gerrit uses a “Change-Id” trailer with a unique value. When you “fix up” a commit, the commit SHA changes but the change id remains the same. That’s how it can identify different c…

Agree about recording and listening to it. I also do it sometimes. My concern about implementing the record/playback functionality is that it may introduce a bunch of complexity co…

I am going through the alphatex docs in more detail and looks like other stringed instruments and even piano are already supported. Check this for bass guitar - https://alphatab.ne…

Looks like it's already supported in Alphatex - https://alphatab.net/docs/alphatex/metadata#tuning . You will need to specify the following metadata in the tab editor \tuning G2 D2…

If any one's looking for the answer to why it's not recommended to edit library imports - when you import collections from the library, you can receive updates whenever the collect…

Thanks for reporting. I’ll check this.

I haven’t tried using it for bass guitar but I believe it should just work? I assume you want tabs for bass guitar. Alphatab, the tablature editor supports bass guitar and other st…

Yes, music notation is configured to be hidden as I felt it would take up extra space. But recently I myself felt the need for it when editing tabs that had triplets. Beams are not…

> when I practice for more than an hour every day > this creates horrible calluses on my fingers I think both are good problems to have :-). Consistently practicing for more than a…

No, it doesn't play the tabs. The primary use case to help with practicing something you've already learnt. Import from Guitar Pro sounds like a good idea and the format doesn't se…

Captrice works in a browser on an android phone. But honestly, it's designed to be used on a desktop/laptop with a keyboard as there are some handy keybindings/shortcuts for easily…

> Firstly, the tab for that exercise is long enough to need a scroll bar, and so I don't understand how one is supposed to play along with that tab to a metronome. I agree, this ap…

Captrice allows you to export an exercise collection. You get a json file that can be shared with others or copied to another device where it can be imported back into the app. > A…

This is so cool. Loved the UI, simple and to the point.

I mean “deliberate” to be the adjective for “practice” and not “app”. Thanks for the suggestion though. Definitely something to think about. I personally hate “opinionated” too.

Total noob as in yet to buy your first guitar? I’d highly recommend taking offline lessons from a local guitar teacher, at least for a few months. Some things are difficult to unle…

Thanks for the kind words. > people try and give up a lot. If this can help some folks stick with it and become better understanding and practiced with their instrument, I hope tha…

Thanks! Much credit goes to the Bulma[1] css framework, I guess. I am mostly a backend dev. I've just used bulma for the most part and tried to avoid anything fancy. [1]: https://b…
