Creators! Feel free to tip me off about your keyboard related projects to bring them to 100K readers.
With its minimalist interface Jazzkeys is less than a distraction-free text editor but much more than a humble textarea.
Published in 2020, this is a project by Plan8, a Stockholm based studio founded in 2008, working for companies like Google or Mailchimp.
You can type what you want and according to the settings your keypresses produce nice jazzy piano sounds in different moods.
