“Pianomator (Pianizator)” — Stepwise Piano App
A cult, niche, and popular product. A set of apps and websites that help beginners quickly learn to play their favorite songs on the piano. This is my pet project. First there was a website, which unexpectedly became a hit. Then when the user focus shifted to mobile, I released and still keep releasing versions for Android. There are two versions of the product. A very simple classic one for playing with one finger. And a more advanced version for two hands with chords.
“Classic Pianomator (Pianizator)” — One Finger Stepwise Piano App
The classic version. Simple single note melodies can be played with one finger. No knowledge of sheet music or any prior training is required. There are several display modes for the melody, note labels, and various hints. It solves a big problem for beginners and helps them overcome fear because most apps are way too complicated, video tutorials are awkward, and playing with both hands at once is also difficult. This project has been installed by hundreds of thousands of grateful users.
