Hi, I'm Mike Hadlow the creator of SAML Proxy. I first built a version of this for a previous employer, a B2B SaaS with hundreds of customers configured to log in via AWS Cognito and Auth0 using SSO SAML connections. The company wanted to migrate to Clerk, but discovered it was almost impossible to co-ordinate hundreds of customers to update their SAML IdP configuration at the same time. I built a SAML Proxy to migrate them all with just two DNS switches. This project is an open-source distillation of all I leant doing that. It shows a runnable example of a SAML Proxy, with an open-source SP and IdP thrown in for free.

It's very easy to add new tunings. I'll collect all the ones from the comments here and add them in the next few days.

Right now, I just want more people to know about it and get some good feedback on what works and what doesn't. I'd be super happy if guitar teachers and other music educators pick up on it. It'd be great if I got some good pull-requests too. I'd like to make more YouTube videos, relating Guitar Dashboard to the theory and showing some examples. I'm not a keyboard player, but Piano Dashboard seems like an obvious addition :)

I've found a looper pedal a fantastic tool for learning theory. Play some chords from a particular scale, then try improvising over it. You get a real feel for how the different modes sound.

I'd agree. For beginners, Guitar Dashboard is probably overkill. I really wrote it for people like me, who'd been playing guitar for a while and know all the basic chords, but want to get deeper into the underlying theory.

My favourite book on music theory is 'Songwriting Secrets of The Beatles' by Dominic Pedler. The title doesn't do it justice. It's a magnificent treatise on music theory and song writing using the Beatles songs as examples. If you're a Beatles fan like me, it's a must read!
