Chords

I've been playing guitar for years, and I kept running into the same frustrating problems: - Trying to learn jazz or bossa nova progressions with weird chord voicings that don't exist in standard chord charts - Finding chord diagrams online that use different naming conventions than what I'm used to (is it Cmaj7 or CM7? Dm7b5 or Dø?) - Wanting to create my own chord shapes but having to draw them by hand or use clunky software - Needing to export my progressions to PDF for practice, but most tools either don't export or charge for it I built https://chords-rho.vercel.app/ - a completely free, browser-based tool that lets you: Create Custom Chord Diagrams - Click on a fretboard to place your fingers - no complicated software needed - Set any starting fret (perfect for those jazz voicings up the neck) - Mark strings as open or muted with one click - The app even recognizes your chord shape and suggests names, though you can use your own naming (I'm still improving the auto suggestion) Build Complete Progressions - Add multiple chords to create full song progressions - Drag and drop to reorder chords - Add custom notes to each chord (like "strum pattern" or "use thumb on bass") - Perfect for complex progressions like bossa nova or jazz standards Export to PDF - One-click PDF export with your custom chord names - Professional layout that prints beautifully - Your notes are included in the PDF - No watermarks, no paywalls, completely free Why I Built This: I was learning some Chico Buarque songs and got frustrated trying to find accurate chord diagrams for all those jazz voicings. I found the amazing youtube channel of Stefano wher you can watch his voicings and strumming patterns with a perfect camera blocking. Then I realized - why not just build exactly what I need? And if I need it, other guitarists probably do too. - Free - No signup, no premium tier, no catch - Works Offline - Once loaded, works without internet - Custom Naming - Use whatever chord notation you prefer - Smart Recognition - Suggests chord names but you're in control - Save Locally - Your progressions are saved in your browser and downloadable as pdf I'd love to get feedback from fellow guitarists. If you're working on jazz, bossa nova, or any music with non-standard chords, this might save you some time.
