That is fantastic, I love it!

If I may submit an extremely pedantic music nerd bug report: at 46s in the video demo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qboig3a0YS0&t=46s), the display should read Bb instead of A#, as the key of C minor is written with flats :)

(The precise rule is that a diatonic scale must use each letter name for exactly one note, e.g. you can't have both G and G# in the same key, and you can't skip B. This has many important properties that make music easier to read and reason about, such as allowing written music to specify "all the E's, A's, and B's are flat" once at the start of the piece instead of having to clutter the page with redundant sharps or flats everywhere.)

I'm pretty sure that NobodyNada knows this, but for pedants out there using Bb instead of A# is specifically a classical European music notation thing.

There's nothing wrong with using A# and plenty of other notations do. For a modern, hacker-y example, tracker notation only uses sharps).
