When I first started learning guitar, I found it incredibly useful to keep track of the songs that I have picked up as a means of tracking progress, mainly to keep myself motivated - it's fun to see the list of songs in my guitar repertoire grow slowly over time! I later found it useful also for finding songs that the entire band knows, for jamming sessions and impromptu "performances".
At first, I tracked my repertoire on the cover page of my tab/chord file, before moving onto Google Sheets which allow for more complex manipulations, e.g. reordering by style/ difficulty/ title/ author. I recently built a website (https://www.42quests.com) that allows for the tracking of Experiences (e.g. songs learned, scales picked up, lessons/ courses completed) contributing towards a Quest (e.g. mastering the guitar), and I figured that this could be a natural use case.
I'm hoping to pick the community's brain for thoughts on this endeavour. Are you personally interested in tracking the growth of your repertoire and the progress of your music learning journey? Are there better alternatives, or what are the features you need before finding the website useful/enticing? Any suggestions of other communities (whether on Reddit or otherwise) that might be interested in this, whom I can try reaching out to?
