Important Announcement regarding the future of Tunepal

Tunepal has served traditional musicians faithfully since 2009 and is beloved by a generation of traditional musicians. WIth around 100K lifetime users who have performed millions of searches, each search represents a tune identified and maybe a new tune learned by a musician somewhere.

In recent years it has become harder are harder to maintain Tunepal due to increasing load on the old technology stack that makes Tunepal work.

With that in mind, I am proud to announce that I am now officially working a totally new version of Tunepal!

The new Tunepal will be 100% free, and built with the Open Source Godot Game Engine. It will work offline, with no dependancy on a back-end server and in time will support many new features, better tune recognition and the ability to load in tune collections, share tunes, organise tunes into sets. The source code will be freely available for anyone to take, modify and improve on. There is a prototype developed and I will share more details and a github repo to which anyone can contribute, in the coming days. I am excited fot the next chapter in Tunepal and look forward to welcoming collaborators to help bring this project forward! If you are a coder and you know Godot or C++ and have time to give this important project, then join the Tunepal discord and start contributing! https://discord.gg/5HBfpW46
