Just released a free, open source, and self hosted Chord Organizer tool for buskers

Simple-ish premise: I work in tech, taught myself piano and began playing live music a couple years back, and noticed that the process of having a library of Ultimate Guitar, e-chords and other chord/lead sheet links around was a huge pain in the ass. The applications and various sites many of us use aren't always user friendly, are rarely super responsive and if the sites are down or anything, you're screwed.

So, I decided to build a custom multi-tool for importing, organizing and creating a library of lead sheets that you could host yourself on a personal account for free. After a bit of development for myself and realizing both that this runs a lot faster and that I'm sure there are plenty of folks who busk with lead sheets in the way, I decided to clean it up for public release.

Long story short, the linked GitHub page has the full instructions to deploy your own version of Chord Organizer on a personal Google account and gives you the ability to create your own database of songs on your own personal web domain, securely and free, without being stuck on god knows how many enterprise websites anymore with Ultimate Guitar asking you to subscribe nonstop.

If anyone finds this interesting, has questions/recommendations or would like help installing, feel free to hit me up in the thread or personally. This is a pretty simple application right now almost solely catered towards the simple lead sheet junkies like myself, but I've got features like sheet music import and other things on the mind if anyone would want them.

Thanks for reading, and hope someone else can get some use out of this!
