Great! Some suggestions for improvement: - make the keyboard bigger on screen - put a play button on screen - allow the whole chord to be played at once aswell as arpeggiated - allow chord inversions (left/right key?)
Very cool! Relatedly, I made something to help me come up with chord progressions. It's hooked up to Web Audio and Web MIDI, so it can either play the sounds in-browser or in my DAW. Please feel free to take a look and steal code ideas. app: https://chord-progression-helper.glitch.me/ src: https://glitch.com/edit/#!/chord-progression-helper
it looks like I can click on the tiny keyboard, but nothing happens when I do, other than the color changing. I'm really not sure what I'm supposed to do with this, or how it will help me learn chords and scales.
Thanks for the feedback! I agree that it's not very intuitive. I made a YouTube video explaining all the features: https://youtu.be/LFVomixflio I wanted to keep the UI very minimal, so that once you learned the features the interface was very simple. But you bring up a good point that first-time users might get confused. I'll put this on my todo list and try to figure out a way to provide help for first time visitors…
Thanks everyone for all the great feedback! I've written everything down. I totally agree that the UI isn't very intuitive for first time user. So I will find a way to make the first time UX a little more pleasant.
My philosophy for this app is to keep it very minimal. Although I may have gotten too far down this path lol.
In the mean time here's a YouTube video that explains all the features: https://youtu.be/LFVomixflio

Feel free to submit PRs. Web development isn't my strong suit so if you notice anything weird in there let me know!
Thanks again for checking out Note Kitchen and provided all the great feedback and suggestions!
