This is really cool. I could see another application for it - Teachers delivering music lessons to students. As a drum teacher this would be a perfect platform for me to deliver my lessons, assuming you could support drum music (but there's probably a market for this among guitar tutors). I'm imagining a billing system where students pay to subscribe to my lessons and you guys take a slice of the pie.

Shopify POS 13 years ago

As the director a development agency, we cannot use Shopify for our clients until they create the ability for products to have custom fields. Some products need to present more information than is standard, such as a wine store that needs to display vintage, alcohol. volume etc. Til then this excellent new technology is useless to us.

I'm on the first chapter, but I can tell this is the perfect book for me. Very well written. Easy to follow for a non-mathematician and overall, a perfect introduction to a field I'm very interested in learning. I've worked through books such Programming Collective Intelligence but this closes the gap between blindly following along and actually understanding the fundamentals which that book lacks.

If Elon Musk achieves everything he has set out to do, his name will surely be etched into the history books. And, it seems, those history books will be read by humans further into the future than perhaps otherwise, BECAUSE his name is in them.

This simplifies the process even further than typical midi editors do - lowering the barrier to entry for creating music.

But as a professional drummer and tutor, a tool like this could seriously help me, if you decide to expand the feature set beyond a novelty. For example, this could be a way for me to take notes of drum beats that come to me when I'm not at the kit, if it supported tuplets.

I really enjoy that, that is a great quote. It is the last thing I read before posting this comment and I instantly started looking for a more diplomatic way to tell you that I think it's a bit poetic and would likely be skipped by people who don't have the time to decipher the metaphors. Then again, it seems to have worked.
