Hey, you should drop me an email (info in my HN bio). This is a passion of mine and I'm always up for chatting about it.

Definitely look into my product Soundslice: https://www.soundslice.com/ It’s music learning/practice software that’s web-based. It’s not an LMS per se, but if you want to build your own LMS around it, you can embed our

“I don’t make mistakes” — classic. :-) I’ve implemented a sheet-music rendering engine in clientside JS for my product Soundslice. Everything’s totally responsive, meaning the music is re-engraved on the fly based on your browser window and

This exact technique (putting wolbachia in mosquitoes to combat dengue fever) was also covered in the excellent book “I Contain Multitudes.” Highly recommended — super well written, deeply researched and interesting.

This brought back some memories. In July 2004, I made a Firefox extension to "fix" a bad redesign of the website All Music Guide (my blog post: http://www.holovaty.com/writing/all-music-guide/ ). To my kn

Thanks for sharing this — that is really cool! What are you up to now? Still in the music/tech space?

The author was testing these browsers on an iPhone — but neglected to note that Apple actually prevents other browser engines on iOS. So if you use Firefox or Brave on an iPhone, you’re simply using Safari with a different “skin.” This skin

This video is only a few years old but should already be considered a classic. Not long after, the video's creator was hired to lead design of MuseScore (another sheet music desktop app). I find the world of music notation software to

Sorry to hear you were burned like that. But we have plenty of customers — including large musical organizations — who use Soundslice. They either work out the licensing agreements with publishers or focus on material that they don't h

No need to be embarrassed — we all start somewhere! In that case, I think you're fine with Noteflight or MuseScore. If I were you, I'd play with both and choose whichever one you feel is more intuitive. You might also give Soundsl

They are indeed compatible, as are most modern music-notation programs. You can transfer music between them using an open standard called MusicXML. But MusicXML isn’t 100% lossless, so you might need to tweak your music upon importing into

For your teaching, may I suggest my own product Soundslice? ( https://www.soundslice.com/teachers/ ) Essentially it lets you create an interactive learning environment for any piece of music. Lots of our customers use Mu

https://www.soundslice.com is easily the best for this — it syncs tabs with original source recordings, has practice tools built in and has a full-featured editor. All web-based. (Disclaimer: I help make it)

What service do people recommend in place of SendGrid? Personally I need a service to send transactional emails from my company website with a low chance that they’ll be marked as spam. Tracking is not necessary (I disabled that in SendGrid

I’ve used HEY for a few months in private beta, and it took me like a day to get used to things. Not as high of a learning curve as you’d think.

Adrian here. Thanks! Yes, Soundslice doesn’t use any JS frameworks, and my thoughts on the matter still stand.
