Some time ago I looked for a piano app - something I can use on the go to harmonize with, try some chords, or just play. I wasn't happy with anything that I found, so I made my own:

- It's a progressive web app. Add it to homescreen to avoid multi-touch scroll shenanigans

- just a few hundred KB

- made using web audio, vanilla JS, SVG.

- no annoying popups

Please enjoy and let me know how you like it.

A 2 fingered tap on my browser enacts full screen. 3 taps opens bookmarks. Fortunately I'm a 1 fingered player!

But it's still fun!

A known limitation - wish I could control browser behavior here. Add it to your home screen for a better experience :)
