Show HN: KeyByKey.app – Daily piano game for practicing playing melodies by ear

https://keybykey.app
3•reassess_blind•1h ago
Hi,

I whipped up this daily piano challenge game after noticing my partner struggling to play a tune by ear. She could hum the tune, but was struggling with recognizing whether the next note would be higher or lower than the previous.

That gave me the idea of KeyByKey. A simple Wordle-style daily challenge game, where you are given a tune to play back by ear.

There's no limit to the number of attempts, but after successfully completing the challenge it will show how you compare to other players.

Still ironing out some bugs.

Let me know what you think!

The game is client side, and the stats are stored in a tiny Pocketbase instance. Ensuring the stats aren't spammed is an interesting problem with a client side browser game. If it becomes a problem I might look into a server issued token solution.

Nice job. Having built a couple of play-by-ear training games, my recommendation would be to add support for MIDI controllers. If you use the WebMIDI.js project, it should be relatively easy to set up.

That cool, I'll look into that. I am having some lag issues with the mp3 playback on mobile that midi would likely fix.
