This is fantastic. I didn't grow up learning music and found so much of it seeming arbitrary and incomprehensible. This really pairs well with a 30min video[0] I watched taking away so much mystery and showing 'patterns in the madness'.

It would be good if there were some keybindings to play notes (e.g. digits for I, II, or letters for notes ignoring #/b, or "r t y u i o p ["). A toggle to label the notes that are part of the selected key could help a beginner like myself.

That is great! It would have been even cooler if it had some common chord progressions or resolutions for each scale. I'd also add the harmonic and double harmonic, melodic, phrygian dominant (flamenco/hijaz) and Neapolitan scales. Why not also break down the scales in to tetrachords and make it possible to navigate between scale-tetrachord?

Very interesting, would be nice to have a switch to change the notation (at least the solfeggio/solfege one). I'm European and really I can't work with C D E F G A B.

Europe has a fair split between solfege and letters, don't put us all in the same basket my fellow European :)
