Hi everybody :)
(hoping to post in the right place)

I am the developer of the Android application: Solfami. It is a completely free application for training in sight-reading and reading notes on the staff in various clefs. The application was developed for my personal use; I play the piano, guitar, and ukulele as an amateur, but I had difficulty reading sheet music, so I developed this app designed to meet my needs. Over time, it has reached a good level of stability, and I decided to share it. If anyone would like to try it and share their opinions or suggestions, I would be grateful.

Thank you for your work.

Normally, the advertisers we get on this site just come here once, spam their stuff, and leave with responding to any questions. That's why that rule exists.
However, there are instances where the advertiser responds to questions, like here: https://www.pianostreet.com/smf/index.php?topic=71804
In those cases, they do sometimes stay up.

Based on the fact that you responded, this might be one of those special cases. Sorry for the misunderstanding. :)

That sounds like a thoughtful project, and I like the fact that you built it first to solve your own learning challenges before making it available to others. Tools like this often have the most value because they’re born out of real use cases rather than theory. I agree with you that making music education more accessible is important, and it ties into a broader truth: Cost Savings in the Long Run – While hiring developers has an upfront cost, custom automation and optimized software reduce labor expenses, mistakes, and downtime over time. That’s why in many fields, even outside of music, companies look at options like Game devs for hire when they want to expand the functionality of their applications in a sustainable way. Your approach proves how personal projects can evolve into practical solutions others benefit from, and I think feedback from musicians here could help refine it even further.
