Show HN: A game to memorize scale degrees on the guitar fretboard
Hey all, posted a similar game a few months ago for memorizing the notes of the fretboard. This time round it's intervals/interval functions/scale degrees .<p>This game is just for the ascending scale degrees and comes with an accompanying course to learn them (<a href="https://www.fretboardfly.com/learn/FBG-201" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.fretboardfly.com/learn/FBG-201</a>). There are similarly other games for descending scale degrees and its accompanying course (<a href="https://www.fretboardfly.com/play" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.fretboardfly.com/play</a>) and (<a href="https://www.fretboardfly.com/learn" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.fretboardfly.com/learn</a>)

Show HN: Perfect Pitch Puzzle – a musical Wordle daily ear training game
Hi all! Thanks for checking out the side project my family and I have been working on (on and off) for the past year. We were playing wordle when we thought: wouldn't it be fun if you had to guess musical notes (ABCDEFG) instead of words? And what if the notes you had to guess were actually the first six notes of a familiar melody?<p>My brother and I both have perfect pitch, which has been really helpful when we want to cover a song that we like, or improvise in a jazz or blue grass setting. We don’t promise that this game will help you gain perfect pitch, but it <i>is</i> possible to train your ear to more accurately gauge sounds, and our hope is that this game will help with that.<p>So far we’ve gotten feedback from consistent players that the game <i>has</i> helped non-musicians more easily identify notes based on relative pitches, and helped even musicians improve their ability to remember tunes better, which is good to hear.<p>The game has evolved with different instruments and difficulty modes (easy, normal, hard), but the essence has remained the same:
- One new musical puzzle a day
- The octave moves with the melody, so you don’t need to worry about the octave; you just need to guess the pitch<p>There are a few things we want to improve as well, like:
- improved mobile support (especially Android)
- a “practice mode” - allow users to play more than one game per day, or multiple variations of notes, with visual feedback on how close they were to guessing the note
- making it easier to add new songs to the database (currently it takes 5-10 minutes to code in a new song)
any other feedback that we get here or in our Discord. :)<p>PS. If you already have perfect pitch or want to challenge yourself to the impossible, I'd recommend playing the "bird_tweet" instrument in "hard" mode!

Show HN: IP Guide – Info on IP addresses, Networks, and ASNs
Hey all, wanted to share my recent weekend hack project. I wanted to improve upon the existing space for looking up information about IP addresses and ASNs.<p>The backend is written in Rust and pulls BGP data every 8 hours from the RIPE RIS project to build up a routing table and also adds geolocation information. The frontend is using React and Tailwind.<p>Would love any feedback or suggestions on what to improve.
