I was thinking about tooltips but those are tricky to implement for mobile devices (although I haven't spend much time making it usable for small screens/devices)

R marks "relative" major/minor, for example: A minor pentatonic is relative to C major pentatonic (contains same notes/shapes, just root note is different).
I can/could change defaults, but, all your presets should be saved between the sessions (your next visit).
I am in the middle of making some interface changes, hopefully buttons will behave better after it.
Thanks for feedback.

1. Bottom colored dots are connected to shape colors, nothing else. Those shapes are often (in guitar literature) referenced by number, 1 to 5 (e.g. pentatonic shape 1), I decided to use colors
2. Pentanizer is adding interval colors. It splits "scaler" shapes into 5 micro interval shapes. It is explained in https://grunfy.com/updates.html section and this video might help to understand the concept: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3DCpJlGQFA&feature=youtu.be...
3. I use some own JS on top of http://svgjs.com/ library...I'll need to cleanup things and make it somewhat "stable" before opensourcing it.

Hi,
yes, that's a known issue. I added flat/sharp button as an option, but, I think that makes things even worse. I am working on a fix for this...

could you be any more constructive, I mean, which parts are confusing / none intuitive?

It can be quite intimidating at first I guess.
It makes (starts to make) sense once you turn off some shapes and start connecting them together one by one.
I am not sure if you had a look at the "pentanizer" parts, but that one is even worse at first sight, but once you isolate certain parts I think (very subjective) it becomes helpful if you study interval parts.

Give it a shot, it's worth it.
I also played for years before I started looking into theory part, but I wish I started way earlier.

I'll add more scales in the future, for time being you could check https://grunfy.com/modenizer.html
It has different coloring, but you can use 1-5 shapes to "dissect" it

This may help: https://www.reddit.com/r/Guitar_Theory/comments/8c1s9i/penta...
There is a youtube link video link included which explains the concept.

I hope this might help (I am not very good at explaining it):

unfortunately, not at the moment. I think with some code "flipping" it would be easy to support. I;ll look into it.

sorry about that, just downloaded firefox on android and for me it does render the fretboard but it only takes like 1/3 of the screen. Will look into it asap.

to be honest, I targeted desktop audience, and running linux (and android) myself, I am bit limited in this (testing) area. I might be getting an iOSmac device soon so that might help. What browser/OS are you using?

I'll introduce alternate tuning, although it might take few months as I am busy with some other improvements (printing being one of them)

Thanks for the feedback. I'll add help files and explain scaler/pentanizer differences. Scaler is "traditional" way of learning scales, but I think pentanizer makes more sense...it just needs to be explained bit more.
My main focus right now is to introduce print possibilities. I am just bit tight on time right now.

I am using http://svgjs.com/
It's very lightweight but doesn't have much features though.
