Hi Product Hunt! I made Compose by Numbers for people who love music but can't read it. You type a melody as numbers (1 = Do), pick chords by feeling ("bright", "a little sad") and press Play. The staff is drawn for you. The part I care most about is learning by example: start from a ready song (My first song, Twinkle variations, Ode to Joy) and change it; 13 short lessons with no theory words, each with a before/after you can hear; 9 classical study pieces to see how familiar tunes are built (5 simplified excerpts and 4 concept sketches, not the original scores); and 6 popular chord progressions (1-5-6-4, 6-4-1-5...) that fill every bar in one click, plus Random. Export WAV, MIDI or sheet music. There is no AI: everything runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded. Feedback welcome: which lessons or examples should come next?
