Members wagdog Posted July 8, 2009 Members Share Posted July 8, 2009 Excellent idea - I've put it on the list! Thanks! Looking forward to using your site! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members scolfax Posted July 9, 2009 Author Members Share Posted July 9, 2009 I'm also on the lookout for any bugs you might find - even though the site is simple you'd be surprised how they sneak in there sometimes. Two known bugs should be squashed within the next day or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two known bugs should be squashed within the next day or so. I haven't noticed any bugs. I think keeping the interface simple and easy to use is critical, and you've certainly done that. However I like the idea of a more advanced one. Have you used tuxguitar at all? I realize it an application, and you're working within the constraints of javascript and css, but the way you enter in fret #'s in tuxguitar is really simple, intuitive and quick. If there was some way to allow for direct entry via the keyboard it would speed things up considerably. I was thinking about the "tags" part too; there really is no reason to have an artificial limit like 5 tags as I suggested before. I can't see needing more then 5 tags per lick, but who knows. Anyway, it's really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WildWill Posted July 9, 2009 Members Share Posted July 9, 2009 Very sweet! Thanks for the hard work. A little bumpage so that more folks get a chance to see this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members scolfax Posted July 10, 2009 Author Members Share Posted July 10, 2009 Heard two reports that there's a bug using the site on a mac. I have a mac and can't reproduce it. Can anyone here please give it a shot on their mac and give me details on how they found the bug, assuming they found one? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members scolfax Posted July 10, 2009 Author Members Share Posted July 10, 2009 Looks like on some Macs when they try to enter a value they get a "NaN" (Not a Number) instead. Should have it fixed over the weekend along with the improvement to click a lot less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RaVenCAD Posted July 10, 2009 Members Share Posted July 10, 2009 Very cool, except for having to click so many times to hit the high frets.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kuroyume Posted July 10, 2009 Members Share Posted July 10, 2009 Maybe a better approach would be a pop up box to scroll to the fret number. That would mean simply selecting the option in a combo-box (program speak there, sorry). Same for dynamics as with fret/string options. Still like this very much!

I'd like to get your feedback again when the new version is up. I think there's a way to keep it simple without resorting to combo boxes. I'm still considering an "advanced" editor to keep side-by-side with the main one, and your idea could make it into that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kuz929 Posted July 11, 2009 Members Share Posted July 11, 2009 Looks like the mac "problem" was fixed (thanks scolfax!) I was running the old version of safari, so i downloaded 4.0.2 and now it works fine. not sure if it was a problem with safari or with the program, but if you mac users are having problems, try getting the new safari (plus, its pretty cool ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members scolfax Posted July 11, 2009 Author Members Share Posted July 11, 2009 I'm thinking of adding a new feature that will automatically post new licks made by anyone to twitter.com/tinylick. It wouldn't show who made it or where it was used elsewhere on the 'net. What do you guys think of this idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you guys think of this idea? i don't think i would do that because right after you started this thread i go on there and just {censored}ed around. Did not make anything that made any sense at all, just really checked the site to see how it worked. i really don't think you wanna just throw trash up on twitter and i am more than certain a lot people did what i did, which was pure nothing... just my .02 EDIT: thanks for the site, it's pretty slick...

Great point, I hadn't thought of that! Maybe a checkbox somewhere to let you decide if you want your lick included or not, or a button to delete a junk lick after you've created it...Anyway, the new version is out! Give it a shot - a lot fewer clicks to create your lick. Don't forget you can right-click to cycle backwards too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Super Bass Posted July 11, 2009 Members Share Posted July 11, 2009 hey, this is awesome! Any chance you could make an option to change to 4 strings for bass? EDIT: also a button to clear the tab so you can restart would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Caleb B Posted July 11, 2009 Members Share Posted July 11, 2009 One thing I could say just by looking is maybe a different background or something. The black kind of gets me down so maybe put a cool background that's brighter with some notes or guitars or something. Look matters just as much as features for some people! Anyways, awesome program, keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wagdog Posted July 12, 2009 Members Share Posted July 12, 2009 Please don't take this the wrong way... but I really think you should consider some kind of drop-down or direct keyboard input for inputting fret #'s. Even with the current "starting point" buttons, it's just too much clicking to get to the right spot. Maybe if there was a checkbox, labeled something like "advanced input" or something like that. If checked, when you click, a popup would appear w/all the fret #'s (and notations) and you could just click on the fret # or symbol. That way each input would only be 2 clicks, instead of many. I'm just anti-too-many-mouse-clicks is all. Keep up the great work - I really like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing on the table is support for the mouse scroll-wheel, but that doesn't meet your desire for "2 clicks" per entry, which is reasonable. A dropdown with all of the current options would have around 30 entries in it, which would be hideous. Right now I'm trying to work out how a popup would look. And thanks for the feedback, it means a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wagdog Posted July 12, 2009 Members Share Posted July 12, 2009 Yeah, a 30 entry drop-down - not good! A small popup centered on the mouse click might not look too bad though. Mouse scroll wheel would be cool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
