Hey everyone 👋 Maker here. The actual reason Chord Thingy exists is dead simple: I got tired of reformatting chord charts by hand every week. Someone sends over lyrics with chords scribbled above the words, or a PDF pulled from who-knows-where, and I'd spend 20 minutes lining everything up, fixing spacing, figuring out the key, before I could even start practicing. I looked at the existing options and they mostly split into two camps: either a full worship-operations platform (Planning Center, EasyWorship) where chord charts are one small piece of a much bigger system you have to buy into, or a licensed-content service (SongSelect, PraiseCharts) that's great if the song you need is already in their catalog, less great when it isn't. I just wanted the one piece in the middle: paste in whatever lyrics+chords I already have, and get a clean, editable chart back — instantly, not after 20 minutes of manual formatting. So that's Chord Thingy. Paste your lyrics (chords-over-lyrics, inline [G]brackets, or a PDF/Word doc), and it auto-detects the chords, the sections, even the key. From there you can drag a chord to move it, transpose or capo it in one click, flip to Nashville Number System for session players, and practice along with a synced YouTube track and a metronome. $4.99/month, 14-day free trial, and your charts save as real files on your own computer — not locked into another subscription's database. Would genuinely love feedback, especially from anyone else who's been stuck reformatting a chart by hand ten minutes before rehearsal. Happy to answer anything about the build too. 🦔
