This looks fascinating.

Im missing one thing though. Highlight of an app is that it can analyze play from MIDI but being an interested person it immediately pushes me toward “pick a device” which is immediate ehhhh area for myself.

I know there are many and there’s personal preferences etc. but I think that (since it’s an educational system) there should be kickstart process accessible, i.e. matrix of recommended devices and peripherals (size/price).

I’m a beginner on piano/keyboard - been playing daily for a couple of years and I think this would be a great app for me to push myself. However, I mostly play kids songs when my kids are going to sleep and they are mostly Danish.

Would love to see a way to import sheets from my already purchased books.

I realize you earn money for the content but I would happily pay hundred dollars or more for the app if it could just import my existing sheets

Came to ask exactly the same thing. Want to buy one for my kids to practice but I don't have an idea which would be the best given our budget and preferences so a matrix of compatible devices would be great.

Fourier is harder than MIDI, more technical to achieve, and also less reliable in noisy environments.

Also from a HN MVP point of view this is about picking shortest path and ship something (especially important since there are other things to implement as well), and Fourier can be added later.

But yeah philosophically I understand your frustration, as someone who has implemented both :-)

iOS once touted itself as being honest. Now it doesn't show the price until you install the app?

It’s free. But it does display the price if it’s paid.

If you browse down you’ll even see the price for popular in app purchases
