Looks really nice and it's fun to play around with. Maybe a control for inversing the chords would be fun? That would mean support for chords like A7/c# and maybe also closer chord voicings.

I should also add that the app became much more fun when I accidentally read the "Help" menu and became aware of "play" and "root" - maybe that information should be a bit more visible?

I'm interested in what if any library you've used for the theory - did you just built one yourself? You could take a look at teoria(https://github.com/saebekassebil/teoria) which is a by now pretty seasoned music theory library in js, with a chord parser included.

EDIT: (PS: Also add9 add11 chords would be nice)

Thanks! Chord inversion is definitely on my todo list.

Your point about the help page is really good, I'm going to figure out a better way to introduce the feature to new users. I was primarily thinking of users coming in via my YouTube channel in which I made a tutorial video, but I hadn't really thought about organic traffic.

For the theory I just wrote it myself, you can check it out here: https://github.com/nebs/notekitchen

Feel free to submit a PR if you find any bugs or inefficiencies.

I'll check out Teoria, haven't heard of it before.
