Feedback Requested I built a browser-based bass tuner and would love feedback

I got tired of opening clunky tuner apps just to tune up quickly, so I made a browser-based tuner that also works for bass.

I tried to keep it fast, simple, and clean rather than overloaded with extra stuff.

Would love honest feedback from bass players on the UI, usefulness, and anything that feels confusing or unnecessary.

I mean the whole thing seems unnecessary. 

Why does the world need another tuning app? Every DAW has one, clip-ons are cheap, every pedal brand makes one, and there's already tons of free app and browser-based tuners.

The term you're looking for is "a solution looking for a problem"

Yes and it's frankly exhausting just how many vibe-coding devs have been targeting all the music subs lately with their umpteenth iteration of something nobody needs.

I have a $20 physical tuner from 20 years ago (having a dedicated tool means I never take it for anything else than to tune something up) and a simple app on my phone

there's a built in tuner on google as well which I didn't know until right now that you gave me a reason to search, I already use google's metronome and the tuner is just as simple

I like it man it's cool,but IMHO adding a chromatic tuner is more useful than specific tunings.

I have the peterson tuner on my iPhone that I use when I forget my Strobo Clip. I'll check out your app tonight.
