Ask HN: What are you working on and why is it cool?
Soundslice (<a href="http://www.soundslice.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.soundslice.com/</a>) -- animated guitar tabs / sheet music.<p>Demo: <a href="http://www.soundslice.com/tabs/5680/bohemian-rhapsody-for-solo-guitar-tab/" rel="nofollow">http://www.soundslice.com/tabs/5680/bohemian-rhapsody-for-so...</a><p>It's cool because:<p>* The state of the art in guitar tabs is horrible ASCII crap (example: <a href="http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/e/eagles/hotel_california_tab.htm" rel="nofollow">http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/e/eagles/hotel_california_ta...</a>). Soundslice is a 1000x improvement.<p>* It solves a key problem for musicians, which is: when you're learning a new song, you generally listen to a recording of it, and it's a pain to cross-reference the recording with the sheet music/tab.<p>* It's one of the most advanced HTML5 apps on the web. Almost everything is done in <canvas>, and it has dozens of UI details (<a href="http://www.soundslice.com/help/" rel="nofollow">http://www.soundslice.com/help/</a>). I did a tech talk about the various JavaScript/HTML5 stuff if you're interested: <a href="http://37signals.com/talks/soundslice" rel="nofollow">http://37signals.com/talks/soundslice</a><p>* Proudly bootstrapped and made by two people.
