Products that do what React-guitar-chord, a react component for chord name to guitar diagram does
I made a pretty simple react component that takes in a chord name and spits out a guitar chord diagram. So far it has no regard for playability or bar chords or any alternate positions, and doesn't ensure that all the notes of a complex chord are played. It has a bias towards open notes so with enough alterations it tends toward an open strum. Still, it's pretty accurate for simpler 3 or 4 note chords. I think my next step will be ensuring that 4 or less fretted notes are included in a chord diagram, using bar chords and moving up the neck if needed.

This started out when I vibe-coded a guitar scale fingering generator. It came out pretty good, and I started adding stuff to it: chords, then how chords and scales interact. Then I added charts for other instruments I mess around with: piano, cello, alto recorder. There's a complexity toggle to go from basic harmony to extended/experimental stuff. It's honestly still mostly a toy, but I thought other people might be interested in playing with it. Source is on github, so it's easy enough to run locally and fork. https://github.com/aleshh/gtr-scales

Little side project from the past few months indexing ascii guitar tab sections into pseudo-language "words" (notes, chords) and "sentences" (riffs) that can be queried and indexed with ElasticSearch (Apache Lucene).

I built a free, browser-based tool for exploring scales, modes, and their diatonic chords. Pick any root note and scale (major, natural minor, all seven modes, and 70+ other scales) and instantly see which chords (triads, 7th, 9th, etc.) belong to that key. It also includes a built-in sequencer so if you've found interesting chords for your scale, you can arrange them into a progression and hear how they flow together. No need to switch between a theory reference and a DAW just to test whether a ii–V–I sounds right in your preferred scale. No signup, no ads, no paywall, just a tool I wished…

As you can tell, I haven't really been sure how to pitch this site. Maybe it's trying to do too much. It's still a work in progress, but I would love to get some feedback. Thanks HN! HOWTO: http://groktar.com/?m=kTD4PzaNwv Lagrima: http://groktar.com/?m=TLZgtrjM6n
