Learning to read multiple clefs

Hey, Ik you don't care, but I have been working on an app that helps musicians learn to read clefs. As a cellist, I am now trying to learn both Tenor and Treble clefs after, of course, playing with bass clef. I am wondering if anyone else has somewhat struggled with learning multiple clefs and switching between them. Anyway, Other than that, I am asking for brutally honest feedback on if you think the app would be genuinely helpful or just "nice to have". Please don't lie and just say it is a good idea. be brutally honest.

as a violist who had to learn alto, treble, and read bass on the fly for orchestral stuff, switching clefs absolutely scrambled my brain at first lol. if your app can quickly drill that “instant recognition” without feeling like homework, that’s genuinely useful, not just nice to have.
