DRAFT — written from the brief. Every unverified fact is marked [Chelsea: …]. Nothing here is invented; fill the brackets and the draft becomes the story.

  1. 01

    The what if

    I wanted to learn to play the piano. I tried the apps that exist and none of them fit how I learn. So: what if a piano app learned the way I do?

  2. 02

    The wall

    No tool fit, so I had to build one, and the user was me — which is the hardest client I have had. [Chelsea: what specifically did the existing apps get wrong for you?] [Chelsea: what did you not know how to build when you started?]

  3. 03

    The making

    I built a piano practice tool tailored to the way I learn. [Chelsea: what does it actually do differently — how does a practice session run?] [Chelsea: what did you have to learn to ship it, and how long did it take?]

    • [Chelsea: caption for process photo 2 — an early sketch of the practice screen]
    • [Chelsea: caption for process photo 3 — the first working build]
    • [Chelsea: caption for process photo 4 — the app as it is now]

  4. 04

    The moment

    [Chelsea: name the piece you first played end to end, and when you realised the tool had done its job.]

  5. 05

    The next what if

    If a tool can fit how I learn, what if it could fit how another artist works?

What I found out

None did, so I built one.
