#2I suppose the thing you're learning with musical instruments is hand-ear coordination. The eyes are optional.

#3Nice! I was wondering to make something similiar for guitar. It is little weird that this is not widely used technique. Just blindly repeat the tone you hear, then move to tone sequences. Nice job!

#4I’ve tried quite a few of these apps/sites, and I like the simplicity of this one.

#5It be nice if you mapped the keys to the user keyboard kinda like ableton, for people who dont have a midi controller handy
White Keys: The keys from ‘A’ to ‘L’ on your keyboard correspond to the white keys on a piano, covering a full octave from C to D. Black Keys: The keys in between, like ‘W’ and ‘E’, correspond to the black keys or the sharp notes on a piano. from : https://www.electrikjam.com/use-your-keyboard-as-a-midi-cont...

#6Very nice, always wanted something like this.
Liked: Sheet/No shit split
Would like:
- Ability to play with PC keyboard, other apps already have some type of interface to type with keyboard, of course it might change depending on keyboard layout, but it's pretty standard and it happens that the keys aren't usually alighned, so you can have one row be whites and the upper row being blacks.
- Maybe the waiting times between new notes in simon says can be faster? The "You Win" is a bit slow and it feels like forever, breaking the pace of the music.
- Difficulties can be increased as well, Simon Says currently seems like it only does very small intervals, (feels like sheet based is a bit different but maybe not). Maybe it can be configured to allow a wider range of intervals, making it more difficult.
The other similar product that I've seen is an app called Yousician that did this for guitar but it was microphone based. This is very neat.

#8This is as much a sight singing app as it is piano by ear. I did a lot of these kinds of drills studying for the Music Theory AP exam in high school. Very useful

I would also love a button to pause so I can poke around the keyboard to see what it sounds like.

#10I have a really niche use case that this fulfills. I have perfect pitch, but terrible working memory (can't remember more than 4 notes at time). This is a nice way to try to improve it.
