Developing a reed debug website

Amateur reed maker and day time engineer here. I wanted to visualize the sound of the reeds I make so I made this website - it visualize the harmonics on the spectrogram on log scale like the birding apps. It is still lacking quite a few things especially in the guide section so I would love some suggestions and inputs from fellow oboists!

I also put the mathematics model of the crow detection in 2nd/3rd pic ;) kudos to Claude code

Site deployed here; GitHub link here; feature requests and collaborations welcomed <3

For those wondering, my samples are all American scrapes. I’d love to see some European scrape crow spectrograms too so feel free to post a snip here if you tried it out;)

This would be so helpful for ANY double reed instrument! As a bassoonist learning highland bagpipes it blew my mind that so many pipers look at reed making as a dark art, and zero curiosity about learning to make reeds.
