Sorry if this is not the right place to ask this kind of question, my options on Lemmy are kind of limited.

I play around a lot with experimental types of music and have been using a series of poly-rythm soundscapes that I have created for sleep aid. A couple of friends tried out the stuff I created and said it was amazing for sleep and relaxation.

This gave me the idea for an app that created the poly-rythm soundscapes using simple(ish) formulas that allowed the user to change the scale, scale mode, duration, ambient effects, and poly-meter type to suit their preferences.

I am currently injured and am on disability so have all time and boredom in the world to throw into this project.

My entire programming experience was a single semester of Visual Basic in 2003.

Where would I begin to bring something like this into existence? Thanks in advance.

A tip I forgot to give: Use the debugger very early while learning JS, it's very helpful to understand what the code is doing.

How good have you found ChatGPT to be?

It's great for snippets, or explaining simple code. It does fail often when hitting deep in some API, or when you want to do thing in a specific way because you know what you are doing. You have to talk a lot to it, if you want it to produce code for you.
But in your case, i recommend to never copy paste JS from ChatGPT, because it's your first programming language (html and css are not programming language), and making your brain used to code will be the most important thing I said to not copy, but you can ask questions to it, and it will be often correct, dont hesitate to send big chunks of your own code to chatgpt to get explanations.

Awesome, thanks for the clarification on that. Some very good tips to put into action.
