Another Finish line

Wow. I think this next big step is what completes the app. Anything after this will over complicate things. But my last steps are this:  Playlist - a community playlist of chords in the order of songs that you can practice and play.  + you don't need to manually enter something if you can find it + lots of people contributing  Custom - hear the chords before they flash. An option to save decks in an advanced version of the screen + allows personalization at a basic level The only thing is that people will probably prefer the custom saved chords over the community chords, but whatever. The playlist community was really just a workaround for this custom screen thing that I'm just gonna try and ship.  Kind of like when I had just started, with the Styles button. It was a workaround for Playlist, building custom chord decks. But I ended up keeping the feature anyway because it's fun to try.  It's funny how simple my guitar apps look compared to what's coming.

Time to work magic

After numerous people suggesting that hearing the chords would make the app more helpful, I am going to explore it. I have a few people interested to record the individual audio files, which is sort of shocking considering I don't have any money to give them.  I keep saying to myself "this next feature is going to be the one that makes the app big". Well, I think this one is. I can't imagine what more I could offer after this within my abilities. I thought it would be cool for the song lyrics to show up on the chords as they flash, but I don't see that working out.  I could build a whole other app for left handed players as well, but that is... a lot of time. Yeah, even thinking of it is like holy shit.  But if this becomes my job, or helps me find a job, or I start to miss app building after a short break... then yeah I could definitely see that happening.  Wish me luck, void   

Exhausted

 Alright. Whelp. The update is done. Songs can be saved now. I have to count the days individually and hope that google approves it after 2 weeks and hope my testers actually do the thing. Ughq;eufhjnlfjqwe fiwknf;modwukfnjqvmlierf   as nice as it feels to be doing this app and to feel like I have some sort of direction, not making any money for doing all of this work, hearing back from any recruiters about other types of jobs... one thing at a time I guess. I've been working at this every night for weeks, when she naps, when she sleeps.. it's the only time I get to myself. Now that I'm just done with this update I've got all of this nervous energy built up. I need to rest.
