Nice! We’re you inspired by the GuitarTuna iPhone app?

This looks _very_ GuitarTuna. I've not come across another app which uses the (IMHO very effective) vertical scrolling pitch visualisation.

This is great though OP. It's the best browser-based tuner I've ever used. I really hope you don't get sued.

Do you have any plans on open sourcing the code?

Not at the moment. Sorry.

I'm planning to create a simpler free version of the app for the sake of cross-promotion, I may open source that one (but I can't make any promises currently, both regarding creating the actual app and open sourcing it).

When I click through, all I get is a black screen that says "Failed to start listening thread."

Android or Web?

If web - well, it sadly requires modern browser on relatively modern hardware - it has some performance problems currently in browsers, I'm not happy about that fact, I am considering improving it if the app catches enough interest.

If Android - please consider returning the app and getting your money back as long as you still can - I'm afraid I won't be able to solve it in quick fashion.

I would love to see the source code, or at least a simplified version. Audio input in rust and rust talking with flutter on mobile device. Such a cool project.

I don't think it's related, but a post from someone showing a simplified version of the same idea (pitch detection with WASM/Rust), with detail and source: https://www.toptal.com/webassembly/webassembly-rust-tutorial...

It's available free (and no ads) for desktop browsers and as a $1 Android app (on mobile needs to be an app for performance reasons and I believe it's a fair price).

While $1 is certainly far less than the value this app provides, it’s going to be a hard sell when there are several free apps which do the same thing.

The intersection of "free", "no ads", and "works right" is often pretty bad. This at least has the web interface where you can see roughly what you would be getting.

Yes, but to be fair it's awfully hard to find a free app that does the same without bloat due to any kind of ads. I'm going to buy this app just because of frustration due to that.

iStrobosoft is the best tuning app. No contest.

the idea of a 'virtual' strobe tuner is a curious one - a strobe tuner being such a material thing. I'm not contesting that Peterson's is the best, but the 'strobe' aspect of it has to be marketing guff, doesn't it?
