Zero-dependency chord visualizer that loads faster than tuning your guitar.

Strengths
  • •No build step or npm dependencies — just open index.html and it works offline.
  • •Custom triad.js view library keeps the entire payload under 100KB unminified.
  • •Handles complex music theory edge cases like rootless voicings and enharmonic spellings.
Weaknesses
  • •Niche audience limits broader appeal beyond guitarists specifically interested in theory.
  • •Local JSON storage means no cloud sync or collaboration features for sharing collections.
