Hi HN! I'm Gabe, the creator of Songcraft.

I shared early versions of Songcraft on HN, and I'm so grateful to the community for the feedback. I've incorporated a ton of these ideas and others. Songcraft is now fully collaborative as well :)

I'd love to hear your thoughts and answer any questions you may have. Please drop a line here or via Intercom on the site, or shoot me an email @ gabe@songcraft.io!

I run an online collaborative songwriting platform (https://songcraft.io). With the quarantine, I'm going to be pushing to launch a matchmaking system for songwriters looking for collaborators. I've already heard from a bunch of people who are looking for new ways to collaborate on music.

If you're in this space at all, I'd love to chat!

This is really great! For your progressions section, are all of the progressions added manually? It would be cool to have a way to generate or manipulate them more flexibly.

I'm the founder of Songcraft (https://songcraft.io), an online songwriting platform, and we've tackled some of the same problems. It'd be great to connect! My email is in my profile if you're up for a chat.

The progressions are indeed added manually, I started looking into ways of generating them in a different way but dropped it atm because i'm too busy haha

And i mailed you :)

Hi HN!

I'm Gabe, the creator of Songcraft.

I shared early versions of Songcraft on HN, and I'm so grateful to the community for the incredible feedback. I've incorporated a ton of those ideas, and I recently did a major rewrite to simplify the editor and make writing collaborative in real-time.

I'd love to hear your thoughts and answer any questions you may have. Drop a line here or at gabe@songcraft.io.

I've really enjoyed working with Tone.js! Many of Songcraft's (https://songcraft.io) audio features are powered by Tone.js. It's been a great way to manage loops, samples, etc. It makes it quite easy to do things like playing notes or chords in time with a looping metronome. Generally really nice for managing a global audio track with volume, mute, etc as well.

That's really interesting. When I was exploring implementing standard notation, I also came across ABC notation. If/when I take on standard notation, I think ABC notation would be very reasonable to implement for import/export. Thanks for the feedback!

Thank you so much. That's the balance I'm aiming for, but there's still room to improve!

Hahah I was wondering if anyone would enjoy the reference. Thanks for checking it out =}

I’m really excited to look into some of the publishing and community-based features that might be possible. I’m not sure I would want to tackle tab hosting on the scale that UG does, but it’s definitely not out of the question.

Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks very much! I’d always love to hear any feedback after you get a chance to check it out!
