Still maintained / accepting PR ? -New version-

[bloodybowlers]

Hello,

Is this repo still maintained / accepting PR ? Seems not...

There is currently a forked new version (ng) trying to add some asked features and much more.
If someone wants to help, please go here.
There is a lot to do and we need some help from other fellow devs.

Of course, if the original author (@ buzcarter) wants to merge the (many) changes to the original project, no problems.

Hi,
First I thought it would be nice to continue this project, but I want to create a new project with a server side to convert text into chordpro and an easy to use UI. This project is for ukulele and I really want to do something also for guitar (guitar tabs are not correctly converted, it's ukulele chords only).

I really want to help you if needed but I'm not sure this is the right approach.
Thanks

(sorry for my english)

Hi,

I feel the same. When I first looked at the code I saw that the best thing to do would be to rewrite everything from scratch.

I don't (currently) have the time to do that, and I needed a songbook for storing ukulele songs online easily, so I though "hey, why not hacking some quick features in it".
It's not the best thing and (given the current code) it's veeery hacky, but a lot of small things has been added and make the project still usable.

I would like to add 6 strings (guitar) support too. I think the current code could be made for 6 strings without too much pain... but it takes time to analyze the code and make the changes...

Anyway, I'll currently finish some features on UkeGeeks-ng and maybe one day we could make a rewrite from scratch :)

It would be a pleasure ! I don't have enough time now but I think I will start in September. I want to create something useful for a lot of users. I have lot of friends who want to use the chordpro but for now, it's to hard for them.
It took me too much time to analyzed the code of this project to change it and I'm not really good for now with js (more with c#, java, php).

Can I contact you when I start the new project from scratch ?
Which language do you want to use ?

@jrmora Hi, great work! It's really really nice. Do you think we could work together on your project?
If you are interested, I started to work on another project for an mobile app. My idea is to combine a website to edit/read/search songs, create playlist with an API to sync the app with it. Here is what I wrote: https://github.com/edwinzap/OpenChord/wiki. You can check the Project Goals and Features pages ;) Have a nice day!
