#2Wow, what a wonderful site, I wish I'd had this when I was trying to learn those cursed Czerny scales.
The site is remarkably comprehensive - circle of fifths and everything needed to both practice and understand the theory. Moreover, the site has a quirky design that's both cleaver and cute.
Top marks.

#4This is amazing. Beautiful design (both in light and dark mode) and very educational regarding music theory. And a lot to it (if you click beyond the linked page).

Indeed. This page allows one to experimentally create music that actually sounds musical! https://muted.io/chords-in-keys/

#8Awesome, I love the design and what a helpful resource. Also the first scale I randomly picked matched perfectly with the song I had playing on my phone. Lol

#9First thing I clicked on was C minor... which showed me "C minor scale". Problem is.. Is that a thing? I've not heard of "the C minor scale". I don't think it's a thing. (Jazz pianist here) In classical piano as a kid I was taught 2 minor scales - melodic (different going up to coming down) and harmonic. Your "minor scale" corresponds to the melodic minor descending, aka Aeolian mode. (i.e. white piano notes from A up to A)
[googles it] On the "minor scale" wiki page they mention those three scales - "In music theory, the term minor scale refers to three scale patterns". There is no one "minor scale", that I'm aware of. Well, maybe you were taught that way, I don't know. Dorian mode (i.e. white piano notes from D up to D) is another commonly used minor scale; there are others.

#10I think this makes a simple topic needlessly complex. Only the mnemonic "Father Charles Goes Down And Ends Battle" might be worth memorizing, and the rest follows easily. Even that can be replaced by "just go up by fifths starting with F".
