Chord Chart Display for Windows

I have a thought which may be of interest. Many of us are Windows users. I am well aware that there is no iReal Pro app for Windows platforms. That being so, it would be of use to have an app that could read a posted chord chart and display it. I'm not requesting an editor or a playback app, just something that could import a chart and display it on a Windows screen. Does anyone agree?
 
Bob, what I have in mind is a Windows-based program or app that could import an iRP chord chart from the forum and display it on screen without having iReal Pro running in Bluestacks. I generally browse the forum on my Windows machine and it would be more convenient to examine a chord chart there before bothering to download it on to my iPad.

Just a thought…
 
I was sorry to see the web-editor go away. It was handy to take a quick-look at posted charts (sort of what you have in mind). I understand that the old web-editor added a security risk to the system.

On the other hand, I've adapted to downloading a new charts which allows immediate, convenient comparison with charts I already have, then keeping it, deleting or editing it without any additional steps.

Also, considering a core mission of the forums (funded and administered entirely by iReal pro through app sales without pesky and intrusive advertising) is to provide basic song-chart content as well as chart sharing for users of the iReal pro app I don't think it's unreasonable to only provide charts readable using the app.

There are other chart sharing sites and apps that I use, none as comprehensive as the forums has become.

Is there a reason not to browse the forums using a browser installed in the BlueStacks android environment?

I, like you, prefer to mostly use the "full site" version of the forums instead of the in-app mobile version.
It's full-screen and I can easily zoom in and out as well as having more features. I keep the forums open in a tab in my iPad's safari browser.

I don't own a windows machine so I only know about using BlueStacks what I've read here.

I see your point. It didn't occur to me that someone would use a separate chord chart Windows display program and not also use iReal Pro on another platform. My bad…
 
A while back, I bought a 7" android tablet on sale (really cheap) to have as emergency back-up in case the magic-smoke escapes from my iPad. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_smoke

Since I already have iRp on my old android phone, I could add it to the new tablet at no charge (thank you iReal pro)
If I ever get a windows box I'll be ready to go.
