Interesting. I don't mean to detract from your main point but as someone who's deeply into spaced repetition for the past 5-7 years (Daily Anki user + built my own spaced repetition systems for learning various skills), I find myself disagreeing with you on some things that you mentioned:

1. Spaced Repetition is not a fad. It's the most consistent and reliable way we we know for rote memorization (conditions apply). And it's not a new thing either. It's been around since the late 1800s. It just wasnt practical until the advent of computers and mobile devices. So I'm skeptical that there is another "something else" to move on to that is as impactful as SRS.

2. Not sure what the state of education in Australia these days but speaking strictly from my school days in India (1980s-1990s), something like spaced repetition would have been a godsend for every single student. And I'm 100% sure a vast majority of schools and teachers still havent heard of it.

3. I've been learning German for the past few years from some of the top private institutes in Vienna, Austria and let me tell you that neither the teacher, nor the students have any idea about spaced repetition.

That said, you're probably right about the business-viability of such ventures because of the difficulty of selling to the decision-makers, I just strongly disagree about Spaced Repetition being a "flavor of the year"

My son is 4 and we read books to him that are a lot simpler than the Oz book(s). I'm impressed that your kid can handle them.

If you have a guitar handy, you can try out the live mode on https://www.fretboardfly.com . It works and people use it: Using your acoustic guitar to play the fretboard learning game via the mic.

> but everything I create or try to do seems like there are already dozens of other solutions doing the same thing

I suggest exploring the idea of positioning. Here's a good start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mggcrp8ddZE

Wait...how do you do this in Anki? The randomization part.

Even though I know how an engine works, this is a great way to think about it. Thanks!

I wouldnt call it a success (not yet at least) but I have a PWA with ~$130 in MRR for now (launched a couple months ago). Happy to chat

They're all different games and different themes:

1. Fretboard Notes 2. Scale Degrees 3. Major Scale.

I really like Tenuto as well. What I'm building is intended to be a deeper and more polished version of just the guitar (and eventually ear training) parts of Tenuto.

Hey dang This is a different game. The first one is for notes. This is for intervals. Completely different but similar concepts Thanks

yupppp... stupid B string. I'm starting to hear a lot more about people like Tom Quayle who tune their guitars in perfect 4ths

Thank you! Honestly I intend to eventually make enough of these and put them behind a subscription paywall. Releasing them for free for now to gather feedback. There are a few games and courses already at www.fretboardfly.com and I'm working on adding more like Triads, Scales, Chords etc.

Actually no, the game relies on the location of intervals on the fretboard based on where the root is.

So I accidentally ended up posting the link to the actual game instead of the "Details page" and that page has some context: https://www.fretboardfly.com/play/FBG-201

"For simplicity 9ths, 11ths and 13ths are considered 2, 4 and 6 respectively"

I posted this to the child comment but here's some context:

I accidentally ended up posting the link to the actual game instead of the "Details Page" of the game so it's kind of an abrupt transition for people without context.

And no, you don't need to "just be better", that's what the app's for: Here's a course to go with the game: https://www.fretboardfly.com/learn/FBG-201

And here's the link to all the games and courses in this series (Intervals/Scale Degrees): https://www.fretboardfly.com/themes/intervallic-functions-gu...

I have similar ones for learning the fretboard notes and I'm building one for scales, triads and chords as well

yeah, this came up before when the last time I posted to HN. It seems like a small minority of users are wired differently in how they perceive the fretboard layout :)

ok, should be fixed

whoops...let me temporarily remove the cookie prompt. There is a "landing page" at the root (www.fretboardfly.com) but I wanted to link directly to the game. Thank you for the feedback. Stay tuned and I'll let you know about the cookie footer

Try going under settings (https://www.fretboardfly.com/settings) and turn on "Front View Fretboard"

Here you go: https://www.fretboardfly.com/learn/FBG-201

When the user browses to it through the home page (https://www.fretboardfly.com/), the game is introduced as a part of a theme of "Scale Degrees" so it's more obvious. Linked to the game directly here because aint nobody got time to click through a page hierarchy :)

my bad, didn't realise I had auth turned on. Just fixed it. Care to give it another shot?

So...instead of clicking/tapping on a screen, just play the guitar with the webcam on

Root goal is to allow this game (https://www.fretboardfly.com/) to be played via a "real life" instrument

The problem is that the same note can be played in multiple string/fret combinations so all it tells me is that the note was played, not "note was played via this string/fret combination"

This is soo cool. Very impressive! Re: collab. I'd love to do something once I don't feel underwater with the stuff on my plate :)

Thank you and keep me posted if you run into problems

FYI now there's a toggle under settings for "Front View Fretboard" that may be helpful. Let me know if it works out for you.

Thank you, I’ll check it out
