“Are you making something that is solving a real problem for people?” That’s the question on Chris Ladd’s mind whenever he’s tempted to design a new app feature. Chris’s iOS app ChordBank has been downloaded millions of times; it gives guitar players tools to expand on and improve their craft. With a chord library, lessons and games that use monophonic and polyphonic pitch detection, the app helps players hone their skills and become better players.<br>Chris built the first version of ChordBank 10 years ago, back when he was working as a freelance journalist while getting into programming. With years of experience as an independent iOS developer under his belt and experience in product teams at The New York Times, Chris has honed his craft and built ChordBank into his full time job. <br>This is Crafted from Artium; a show about great products, and the people who make them.
