Hey Product Hunt! š
I'm Rodrigo, and I started learning bass last month.
The problem: I was never taught to actually read music, and translating "5th fret A string" to actual finger positions felt slow. It killed my flow and made
practice sessions frustrating. As someone who just wanted to pick up an instrument and learn on my own, I wanted a method that was more visual and fit to my own rhythm.
The solution: I built Hofner in one sitting (90 minutes) to visualize
tabs on an interactive fretboard. Paste any tab, see notes light up, step
through at your own pace.
Why I'm sharing it:
- It's free (no signup required, no sneaky paywall)
- It made my practice sessions better, maybe it'll do the same for you
- Building in public, would love feedback
What's next: Considering adding rhythm notation and loop/practice mode
features if people find it useful. Plus, expand the pre-built library of classic bass riffs for learning.
Try it out and let me know what you think! This is my first public tool launch.
