Dychord

Dychord is an early hybrid-mobile experiment: a guitar-chord reference built with Apache Cordova. The app wraps a custom HTML/CSS/JS interface in the Cordova shell, keeps chord data in SQLite for offline reading, and ships with Android platform folders and a splash screen — a first full pass at packaging a web frontend as a distributable mobile app.

Place in the story

Archived as an experiments-era artifact: one of the stops on the hybrid mobile path, a few years before the Flutter work that came later. It is a demonstration of the mechanics — shell, local data, platform packaging — more than a finished product.
