We want to show our interval training app. This app features beautiful in app charting with highcharts.js. We also have mobile iOS and Android apps, that will utilize the highcharts.js mobile wrappers should our Kickstarter Campaign get funded.

Please help spread the word about our kickstarter. This is a one person endeavor at the moment. I have many ideas but can only do so much on my own. The kickstarter is designed to allow me to hire other developers and designers.

I wanted to share our note training application with you. We have the website version, as well as iOS and Android versions. The charting between the mobile apps and website are always kept in sync. If we can get funded the mobile version will be using the Highcharts.js wrappers for iOS and Android.

Please help spread the word about our Kickstarter Campaign. I am the only developer I have so many ideas, but can only do so much on my own. The campaign will allow me to hire other developers and designers.

Our Tech Stack

This is a post about our tech stack. We are currently building the internets #1 music education and social learning platform. We are hoping to get funded through our Kickstarter Campaign .

When I say we or our.... I mean really mean me. Musicians-U is a one person shop currently. I hope to be able to hire some help should the campaign get funded. I have so many ideas, but am only capable of so much on my own.

We are using Laravel for our API, and currently Vue.js for the client side. We will be switching to Nuxt.js soon.

For the music "trainers" (interactive apps) we are using GWT with a custom Create.js Javascript wrapper. You can find that here. It is hard to believe I wrote that wrapper 8 years ago. I don't even have access to that Github account anymore. hmmm....

I started using GWT as an experiment and have stuck with it ever since. There are a a lot of things to like about GWT, but my favorite part is being able to code in Java and have it transpiled to client side javascript. I also love that you can "wrap" third party javascript libraries and use them utilizing Java.

Some may think GWT is old school, but for the interactive mini apps I am creating it works great, and to be honest these types of mini apps are easier to implement in GWT rather than Vue or React or something (IMHO)

Other than this we are using the web-midi and web-audio api's to add more interaction to the apps. Keep an eye out for my post on the Guitar Note training app that utilizes the microphone.

That is all
Thanks for reading.

Hello! Today we have launched our KickStarter Campaign. Musicians-U is a website for music education and social networking.

The website and mobile apps are made up of ("Trainers") which are interactive teaching applications, which include progress tracking with in app beautiful charting.

We are utilizing the web-audio and web-midi sdk's in many of our applications to provide an even more immersive experience ( midi input).

We will be posting frequent updates here on dev, going over our tech stack and showcasing some of the applications.

We have set a very low backer price $10.00 which gets the backer beta access and a year long membership to the website. Only thing is with a backing price that low, we need ALOT of backers. Could you please help spread the word? And thank you in advance.
