   Thanks so much! Yeah, there are some great tools for composing, and some good stuff for individual features (RhymeZone, Hookpad, etc). I was surprised that I couldn't find anything quite in this category.

   That's really neat! It already looks so much better than typing it all out, which so many tools still have you do. I'm planning on integrating a similar tool into Songcraft, but not sure the exact form it'll take. Thanks for

   Thanks so much for the feedback. On desktop, you can hit a hotkey (Alt/Ctrl + w) to send the nearest word directly to the dictionary to the right, which is a time-saver. However, I think there's also something to be said for some

   Thanks for trying it! There's no support for Maj7(no3) chords at the moment. It's a less common pattern, but would be easy to add support! At the moment, I'm using tonal for chord recognition under the hood, so these are the

   Yeah, I think Hookpad does some really cool things (and they have a neat prediction API), but I couldn't find anything that really fits my songwriting process as a whole. Thanks for checking it out :)

   That's a really interesting idea, thanks for sharing. I've heard some similar things from a person I was talking to who writes a lot of rap and poetry. I'm excited to explore that space a bit!

    This is really valuable, thanks for the thoughtful feedback! - I'm considering making all panels resizeable, I think it would be really helpful. Also planning to build out the dictionary capabilities more. - A friend of mine suggested

    Thanks for checking it out! For the beta, I took mobile web to a pretty minimal state. I know it will be a huge use case for a lot of people, so I really want to have first-rate support on mobile. It helps a lot to hear the types of feature

    I really appreciate the feedback. What type of piano support would sell you on it? I'd love to hear how Songcraft works, or doesn't work, for your process if you give it a shot. Please feel free to reach out if you have thoughts,

    This is a great idea. Experimentation and recommendation of chord progressions is my top feature priority at the moment. I think there could be some really interesting and useful stuff here. Thanks for sharing!

    Right now it's closed, but I plan to open source at least some of the cooler pieces of it :) Likely some of the recommendation and audio stuff. Haven't had much time to think about that yet though!

    Thanks for the feedback - that's really helpful! I totally agree that chord chart is more accurate than tab at the moment. I'm working out the messaging still and trying to balance its current state with my vision for it (which wi

    I should note that everything should work fine on updated Chrome and Firefox, but no guarantees on other browsers!

    At the moment, I suggest common chords in the same key as the rest of the song. I'm working on a recommendation system that will take more into account the music theory of progressions as well as common existing patterns found in diffe

    The MP3 syncing is a super cool idea - did you analyze the MP3 at all to smooth syncing between sync points? Also love the little video, thanks for sharing! I think collaboration has huge value for any tool like this - it'll be one of

    Thank you! OnSong looks cool - I hadn't heard of it. I'd love to make Songcraft performance-ready as well, I think it would be a very natural feature. Looking forward to your feedback!

    Thank you so much! I was really surprised I couldn't find a thing like this anywhere. I've got so many ideas - looking forward to turning it into an even more serious tool :)
