Forking Slopsmith into a Chrome extension that brings the note highway to Songsterr
Hey everyone!
I wanted to share a project I'm starting that builds directly on Slopsmith.
I'm a big fan of the Rocksmith-style note highway, and Slopsmith already does a great job with it. While playing around, I noticed that Songsterr has far more songs and tabs than Rocksmith's CDLC catalog. So I thought: what if the highway could run on top of Songsterr?
To get straight to the point, I'm cloning the Slopsmith repo and building a fork that will evolve into a Chrome extension. The extension works over Songsterr's current structure and renders the note highway in the browser. It also lets you switch between Songsterr's synthetic audio and the original recordings, so you get the best of both worlds: the huge catalog, the highway visuals, and the choice of how you hear the song.
Starting from Slopsmith saves me a lot of time, so a big thank you to the people who built it. I'll keep the fork's license and credits intact, and I'm happy to contribute back anything that makes sense upstream.
Wish me luck

It probably has performance and a lot of other issues, as it is a first release. That said, I count on you all to keep this going. Have fun!
