Ask HN: Has anyone here turned around their life in their 40s? 4 years ago

I’ve been practicing without a piano teacher for several years now and was embarrassed to find out from another musician that my control over timing/rhythm is pretty bad. So my roommates and I made Rubbrband, which helps users track and improve changes in timing/volume! Right now we have a metronome that tells you when you’re rushing/dragging, and a Flow mode that tracks your rubato without metronome.
Your feedback would mean alot to me. Building real-time tools for practicing is super important to me as a self-learner since it’s hard to both be expressive and technically sound, so I’d love to know if this is useful and what direction to take this.
