I'm working on an IDE for music composition.

http://ngrid.io

Launching soon.

Music is fundamentally unsolvable by AI. We'll have AI writing code before we'll have AI writing meaningful music.

I'm curious what this might be. I definitely like the sound of an "IDE for music composition," but your landing page gives me almost no idea at all of what it is. Screenshots or video? Or at least some description of what makes this different than all the other iOS apps that advertise "makes music easy! No experience necessary!" To me those are the biggest red flags that something is useless for actual musicians.

As a side note, I take huge issue with "Music is fundamentally unsolvable by AI". That's a ridiculous stance that sounds way too much like "humans have these soul things that are made out of magic and computers can't ever have them."

Just a fyi: I'm getting a 500 error when visiting that link.

Sounds interesting, would love to take a look at what you're building.

Weird. It loads for me and I do see visitors coming so it might be just you? Send me an email (my-hn-username@gmail) and I'll notify you when I launch.
Got a 500 error as well...
This is embarrassing, try reloading the page. I'm using some website builder, I guess I'll have to move somewhere else. It doesn't normally do this.
Error 500 for me on Firefox as well
Refresh a couple of times. Idk why its happening but I'll move to a new hosting soon.

Edit: seems to be fixed now?

Looks right up my street. Will await with interest.
