We should shut down other people who are being needlessly facetious.

But to suggest that rejection should be our default behavior is absurd. Discussion should be encouraged because, more often than not, neither side is 100% correct. The way we further ourselves is by talking to those people with dissimilar views.

Could you post any helpful resources you used? Also, what was your experience with language design before going into this project?

I've seen this response to others working on new languages. How do people expect languages to improve without hobbyists honing their skills? A lot of _good_ languages start out in one person's head so please keep at it!

I tried to sign up (because it's a fantastic idea) but I got:

"We're sorry, but something went wrong."

when I tried to authorize the application in GitHub. If this is your project I'd love to try it out if there's another way for me to sign up (or another date I can try).

Thanks - chords in Chrome has been an issue a few people are having. I'm still looking for an answer. :D

I've recently used this library to make an ear trainer app (http://www.earbuilder.com). It's pretty easy to use and the creator responds really quickly - the only issue I have at the moment is playing sounds simultaneously within Chrome.

That's awesome feedback and something I wouldn't have come up with - so thank a lot! I'm going to release a newer version with more "Settings" options so that people can customize a bit more.

I don't quite understand what you mean by preview the sounds? Do you mean like previewing the intervals? I can add small buttons next to each to give you a glimpse - thanks for the suggestion!

I was mostly going off the assumption that people would select one or two intervals at a time, learn them through error, and then select a few more but this is an easy change for more clarification.
