Description
Many years ago I posted here about Scale Heaven, a website that had nice UI showing every scale and chord that exist, and it exploded. Melodic Mind is that, but x100.

Could you build this?
Partial Basic chord and scale lookup tables are simple, but building an expansive 7-year deep interactive music theory creation and learning suite with real-time audio synthesis and interactive fretboards/keyboards is a major undertaking.
What it would actually take: Built on Nuxt/Vue or React with Web Audio API, Tone.js, and SVG/Canvas rendering. The hard part is encoding extensive music theory logic (tunings, microtonality, chord progressions, modal interchange) alongside ultra-low-latency polyphonic Web Audio playback and synchronized visual fretboard/score representations.
