a059c32403 Display "Get ready..." message before practicing
This is a temporary solution. Ideally I would like to handle this with the
following:

- Show the flashcard for a chord shortly after beginning a practice session
- Display a small 3...2...1... countdown timer immediately after beginning a
  practice session

I need to dig more deeply into Elm's Time module and subscriptions to better
understand how to properly solve this problem. In the meantime, please tolerate
this short-term solution.

d134db700f Support a FlashCard before showing the notes that comprise a chord
My much anticipated feature: first prompt the user for a name of a chord, then
show the user that chord.

Cascading changes:
I changed the "Tap to practice" overlayButton's opacity from 30% to 100% because
pausing when showFlashCard is True causes the two piece

TIL:
You can batch Elm Subscriptions using the Sub.batch function.

What I haven't learned yet:
How to best handle rotating screens for mobile devices (i.e. portrait
vs. landscape modes). In time...

What's left?
- Support sound
- Support a fine-tune section of the preferences
- Support tablet and web browser variants
- Ask users for the "I chord" instead of asking "C major Root position"
- More styling (of course)

11b140b6ae Highlight root note of each chord
Refactor the Piano component to highlight the root note of each chord. If this
makes things too easy, I can support this as a preference.

Also:
- Reduced the number of keys that the piano displays and increased the key
  thickness to reclaim the space
- Preferred using Tailwind selectors instead of inline styling where applicable
- Call List.reverse on the keys to ensure that the top-most note is a lower note
  than the bottom-most note

TODO:
- Support showing only the name of the chord and not just the notes that
  comprise that chord
- Rewrite the function that generates the chords for a given range of notes
- Consider supporting a dark mode

I'm preferring the verb "tap" to "press".

441fe3e32e Tidy app
Now that I have a deployed an MVP of my app, I am tidying things up to support
the next phase of development.

TL;DR:
- Moved application Model-related code into State module
- Moved each View into its own module
- Deleted unused ChordInspector component
- Deleted unused Msg's, {Increase,Decrease}Tempo
- Deleted misc unused code
