Benten: Music Workshop
Benten is a personal music workshop named after the Japanese goddess of music. Alongside practice logs, theory notes, and a riff library kept as clean Markdown, it has an interactive app for playing chord progressions on a fretboard, recording and overdubbing takes, building effect chains, and searching tabs, all in the browser with the Web Audio API. I built the logic first and tested it, then the interface, then walked the whole thing through in a real browser.
What it proves
An interactive full-stack build, Web Audio in the browser with logic tested first in pytest and Node.
How it was built
Claude Code, logic tested first with pytest and Node, then the interface, then a full walk through in a real browser.
What is real, and where I was learning
What is real: the audio tools work in the browser, and the logic is tested first in pytest and Node. Where I was learning: it is a personal tool built for how I practice, so it favors my own workflow over general-purpose polish.
