pc9··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2025)
I recently released JazzEar, an iOS app for ear training. Specifically focuses on improving recognition of chord progressions you would hear in jazz standards.

Now I'm working on a smaller app for jazz musicians to manage their tune list and act as a tool to help practice and review tunes. I wanted this app to tell me what tunes on my list I haven't played in a while (and might forget), or try different keys or exercises on the tune and track what I found difficult.

How can I gain practical experience in these things? The jobs I've had mainly revolve around adding new features, not doing any of the things described in the article. Does working at bigger companies actually give you experience with this?
