Technical Overview

The tunebook is delivered as a standalone web application. It works on most devices without any setup by simply loading a web page. Once loaded and populated with data,it works without ongoing access to the Internet.

The software has no central database. All cloud persistence features rely on login and document storage with Google. The https://tunebook.net site is hosted with Github pages.

When used without logging in, the software includes NO tracking features.

The software has been built using the React framework and relies heavily on abcjs for rendering and playback of ABC notation.

The scrape folder includes scripts for scraping data from Internet sources.
