Inspiration
Musicians normally prepare for rehearsals by listening to songs on youtube and transcribing the chords onto another medium, be it some form of music notation software or writing down on paper. Why not do it directly in the browser?
What it does
Meditor (music editor...) is an in-browser music chart editor for transcribing music. It is a pop-up chrome extension meant to be used alongside youtube for users to play videos and quickly transcribe at the same time, eliminating the need for another medium in the transcribing process
How I built it
Mostly using vanilla javascript
Challenges I ran into
I wasn't too familiar with developing chrome extensions, but turns out they are pretty similar to normal web dev
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Building a chrome extension without any prior experience
What I learned
Basic html/css/javascript stuff I didn't know about
What's next for meditor
General aesthetics: Improve front end design (add animations, improve div grid system), rethink keyboard shortcuts to make program more intuitive, probably edit code to use jquery or some sort of framework (neater and more scalable), probably come up with a more creative name; Other ideas: Add functionality to save files to database/in-memory, incorporate scoring functionality, incorporate tools for chord input suggestions / analysis
