Hey all, I've posted about this in the past but it's been a bit and I've made some major updates folks might be interested in.
I wrote a free music practice tracker site (www.tuneupgrade.com) which will let you build up practice routines, track your practice time, and take practice notes.
It encourages good practice habits by keeping you focus and on track as well as leaving room for you to be flexible with your practice routine, and has some gamification features to keep up with friendly competition and keep you encouraged.
I tend to get 15-20 users logging on a week and have gotten a lot of great feedback from people, most of who are redditors on this sub or other ones.
You can also catch a quick video walkthrough here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jS-dzpt1tQg
As for new features I've added since my last post:
- YouTube integration - you can specify a youtube link, and I'll automatically frame in that video in your practice screen. I use this for youtube lessons, backing tracks, or playalong tracks (really nice when you slow down youtube music videos by 0.5x or whatever when learning a song).
- Spotify integration - similar to youtube integration, can play back a spotify track from your browser within the app.
- Metronome - had one before, but replaced with a less pitched tone to something more neutral.
- Materials frame in - materials used to have to be opened in a new tab, but you can load these on your practice screen too. Works well for me for chord charts or fretboard diagrams I have stored in google drive.
- Better dashboard - Adjusted all the visuals on the dashboard a bit for a better feel.
- Full leaderboard - you can see where you rank on the entire leaderboard, not just the top 5 people.
- Manual logging - you can add practice time in manually, not just have the timer automatically count it.
Hope this is helpful to folks!
