Hello HN, I just released this music theory and ear training mobile app for guitar which I've been working on for a bit more than a year on the side.

The idea was to make something for the eternally "intermediate" guitarist (myself included). There are a lot of beginner apps which rely on learning songs, toolkits which give you a bunch of stuff with no explanation but not many in-between apps to actually learn and practice more generic and somewhat advanced stuff.

The app contains short lessons, recaps and most importantly challenges (visual, audio and pure theory) along with a very complete library.

The challenges are made for practicing, they will get increasingly harder and getting to the max score is supposed to be quite hard. The idea being that you have to repeat them regularly until your brain has integrated the info and it flows naturally rather than being a one time quick dopamine shot. This is partly inspired by how language learning apps work.

It has no ads, a lifetime purchase option and you can use it without an account if you don't care about multi-device sync or backing up your progress.

3$ a month or 30$ forever.

It's actually seems pretty fair, a decent guitar is going to run you a good sum of money, and if this can actually take me from knowing nothing to being competent, you can have my money.

So this is a weird request, but if you can, would there be any way to get this as a website.

I would love to practice in front of my TV, which is pretty easy once I plug my laptop into my television. It's doable on Android, but it's not really an ideal use case

Technically the framework I'm using (flutter) is cross platform so I guess it could be possible but I'm affraid a few of the libs I use such as the ones for the audio are not and either way it would still need some adaptation to work well.

Not entirely impossible that I do it in the future but clearly not at the top of my list for the moment sorry!

Ya Flutter !

Are the accounts cross platform. Can I buy it on Android and use it on iOS
