The ingredients of a great hackathon

The Tabber team has been involved in several hackathons. We built the first iteration of Tabber at Startup Weekend Boston in October. It got second place but was the crowd favorite. Ryan and myself both had separate startups at the time, so it took a few months for me to finally say “ya, I’m going for this full time.” However, one of the most appealing parts of hackathons that...

Traditional music theory learning

We’ve seen a lot of comments from musicians that claim that Tabber can’t really teach people because there is no music theory attached or that it devalues musicians. We have every intention of putting musical education into our application, but in a way people can understand with less knowledge of the field.

Angelhack. We are back at another hackathon! These events are always great, but this one is super cool to us. When we presented at SF Music Hackday, someone in the audience really liked Tabber and he happened to be Greg Goppman who, along with his partners, organize Angelhack. He offered us free tickets to attend (which was cool because we would’ve come anyway ;). Angelhack is really unique in...
