Could you build this?
Partial The Android media-notification listener, overlay, and chord transposition are codeable, but accurate synced lyrics and chord charts depend on licensed or scraped datasets that vibe coding can't supply.
What it would actually take: Build a native Android app (Kotlin) that reads MediaSession/notification metadata, shows an overlay, and fetches synced LRC lyrics from open sources like LRCLIB. The hard part is chord data: it needs a licensed catalog or a curated database, plus chord-parsing and fingering-diagram logic from someone with music theory knowledge.
