lnk2w··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (February 2025)
I started to learn how to play the drums. I have a e-drum set and I’m building this website where I can put my scores and connect my drums, so it can tell me how on time I’m playing.

Almost like a guitar hero thing but with just a metronome

It requires WebMidi to be enabled:
