       | Nicely done. It would be good if you linked to a resource that
       | allows the user to study the interval rules on the guitar.

         | When the user browses to it through the home page
         | (https://www.fretboardfly.com/), the game is introduced as a
         | part of a theme of "Scale Degrees" so it's more obvious. Linked
         | to the game directly here because aint nobody got time to click
         | through a page hierarchy :)

       | Very nice. Does anybody else also picture the lower strings as
       | being at the top and the headstock to the right (like watching
       | someone else play)?
       | 
       | That kind of trips me up here because the image is mirrored.

         | The low E is always on the bottom, just as it is in sheet
         | music.

           | You are right. And i can read tabs. But still can't help it
           | when watching a real fretboard. Guess it's the student's view
           | on the teacher's guitar.

             | yeah, this came up before when the last time I posted to
             | HN. It seems like a small minority of users are wired
             | differently in how they perceive the fretboard layout :)

       | Hey all, posted a similar game a few months ago for memorizing
       | the notes of the fretboard. This time round it's
       | intervals/interval functions/scale degrees .
       | 
       | This game is just for the ascending scale degrees and comes with
       | an accompanying course to learn them
       | (https://www.fretboardfly.com/learn/FBG-201). There are similarly
       | other games for descending scale degrees and its accompanying
       | course (https://www.fretboardfly.com/play) and

       | Can't use it in my iPhone 13 mini: the cookie prompt is rendered
       | below (in Z terms) of the fretboard, becoming unclickable.
       | 
       | My suggestion is to add some sort of splash or landing page, as
       | landing on a message telling me to tilt my phone was confusing,
       | and that landing page could also prompt for cookie consent before
       | moving to the actual app.

           | Just ditch the cookie banner permanently. It's unnecessary
