Hello! I am the one behind this app. A friend who thinks I am not promoting it enough submitted it to HN (not complaining at all, thanks Aditya!).

I had also posted on the "What are you working on?" thread yesterday - >>43531684 →.

Happy to answer any questions.

Looks like a great app.

For those who can't read sheet music, can I suggest a guitar tabs?

The very first screenshot I see in the website is guitar tabs.

Not only that, everything I see is tabs - I don't see music notation anywhere and I'm looking through exercises right now.

Yes, music notation is configured to be hidden as I felt it would take up extra space. But recently I myself felt the need for it when editing tabs that had triplets. Beams are not visible in tabs. Planning to add a button soon to toggle notation display.

That is great to hear. Notation is essential, especially for musicians coming to the guitar from another instrument.
