Calling all musicians - beta app testers to make learning music theory more accessible - UI using colors - Completely free :) :)https://www.chordly.app/

My friend who's been a self-taught musician for 10 years hit a plateau and realized he needed to understand music theory in order to progress in his ability to make music. After downloading tons of apps and tools he still just couldn't get it. So he basically disappeared into his bedroom for 3 years getting super weird (his words) and going down tons of rabbit holes that led him to Da Vinci's notebooks, ancient Greece, the laws of nature, and him regularly consulting a shaman to come up with a way to help him learn. He first started by constructing a wooden Circle of Fifths like device to begin working things out in his head and to understand what kind of tool he would need to express everything he was learning.It was at that stage he came to me and our friend who is a mobile iOS developer and we started developing the Chordly app combining everything in his head, creating a new UI that combines colors, Chords, Progressions, and even the ability to switch between 440hz & 432hz frequencies. We have many friends who also play music and for our small group of friends, the app has become indispensable and really improved all their understanding, abilities, and most importantly their music.We finally feel like we have enough initial evidence to see if others find it useful and are gearing up to release our beta. After a post on Reddit, we had over 400 beta signups in a few days. Not surprisingly 85% of them were males so I thought it might be great to look here for some counterbalance. There's absolutely no commitment required beyond just answering some questions for us about your experience using it if selected. If you'd like to volunteer to try it out before we launch you can just sign up on our website www.chordly.app and once we are ready to start testing we will provide you all the details.Thanks for your attention if you made it this far and hopefully we can offer you all something you love! Also, appreciate hearing about your pain points when it comes to chord progressions and music theory.Stay safe & happy.
