Build progressions through exploration and experimentation—music theory constraints are optional helpers, not rules.\n\n## Philosophy\n\n**Freedom First**: All music theory constraints (scales, modes) are opt-in helpers, not enforced rules. Create any chord progression you want through \"beautiful blunders and blind discovery.\"\n\n## Features\n\n- **Three-click chord builder** - Select root → quality → add to progression\n- **37 chord qualities** - Major, minor, 7ths, 9ths, 11ths, 13ths, sus, add, and altered chords\n- **Audio preview** - Hear chords and progressions instantly with looping playback\n- **Progression canvas** - Arrange up to 4 chords with drag-and-drop reordering\n- **Chord controls** - Inversions, 5 voicing presets, octave transpose, randomize\n- **Chord palette** - Save and organize chord ideas for later use\n- **Optional scale filter** - Highlights chords in your selected key/mode\n- **MIDI export** - Download your progression as a .mid file\n- **MIDI output to DAW** - Preview with your own VSTs via virtual MIDI\n- **DAW sync** - Sync tempo and transport (Start/Stop) via MIDI Clock\n\n## Tech Stack\n\n- **Framework**: SvelteKit + TypeScript\n- **UI**: shadcn-svelte components with Tailwind CSS\n- **Audio**: Tone.js (Web Audio API wrapper)\n- **Music Theory**: @tonaljs/tonal\n- **MIDI**: midi-writer-js\n\n## Getting Started\n\nInstall dependencies:\n\n```sh\nbun install\n```\n\nStart the development server:\n\n```sh\nbun run dev\n```\n\nOpen [http://localhost:5173](http://localhost:5173) in your browser.\n\n## Development\n\n```sh\n# Run development server\nbun run dev\n\n# Run development server and open in browser\nbun run dev -- --open\n\n# Type-check the project\nbun run check\n\n# Format code\nbun run format\n\n# Lint code\nbun run lint\n\n# Run tests (CI mode)\nbun run test\n\n# Run tests in watch mode\nbun run test:watch\n\n# Run tests with UI\nbun run test:ui\n```\n\n## Building for Production\n\n```sh\n# Create production build\nbun run build\n\n# Preview production build\nbun run preview\n```\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fabhishekvash%2Fbare-minimum-theory","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fabhishekvash%2Fbare-minimum-theory","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fabhishekvash%2Fbare-minimum-theory/lists"}
