Show HN: PianoFun – Browser piano learning game with MIDI (vanilla JavaScript)

2•victorbuilds•1h ago
My daughter is learning piano, and I saw someone on X who vibe-coded a similar app for their kid. So I plugged a USB cable into our 10-year-old Casio AP-450, fired up Claude Code, and had a working falling-note game in minutes.

My daughter immediately became the product manager — she requested a beat toggle, caught that long notes disappeared too fast on keypress, and spotted visual overlaps I completely missed.

Deliberately vanilla JS/HTML/CSS — no frameworks, no build step. Setup is: USB cable + Chrome + open index.html.

The inspiration was this post by @RG_Leachman on X: https://x.com/RG_Leachman/status/2035537289812816128

They vibe-coded a piano app for their daughter, and since my daughter is also learning piano I figured I'd give it a shot. The whole thing came together in minutes with Claude Code. My daughter immediately started giving feedback — she's basically the product manager now.
