Neither the fact that it completely hijacks the back button, nor the fact that it plays sounds without consent does anything to endear this to me. I'd suggest giving those areas a bit of polish :)
As a practical question for how you learn guitar, it might also be a good idea to show notation instead of the name of the note (or both, or a choice). The number of times you need to find a note by name in guitar playing is... rare.
Hey there
I dont think it hijacks the back button. Let me know where you're seeing this behavior. If by hijack the back button you mean standard SPA behavior where the routing is handled by the app while the whole app runs on the same html file then yeah, thats a _very_ common and standard way of building apps these days
Audio without permission...yeah I can see that being inconvenient even though its not like autoplaying a youtube video (It's just 1 note)
Notation doesnt seem as popular these days as tabs are, so it was an intentional decision
I personally find notes on the fretboard all the time but I guess there are as many ways of playing the guitar as there are opinions.
If I may gently poke some fun at this comment, this is the most Hacker News comment I've gotten in this thread so far :). I hope you know what I mean
