IMO, the best way to "get into" music is just to learn music from people you like and then your own stuff will take shape after you get fluent with the patterns that inspire you based on the work you have learned.  I find "getting into" music as a purely emotionless theoretical excursive to be a non-starter.  

In piano, for example, you'll find lots of cats doing cool videos on how some of these chord thickening patterns work, and a lot of it is sort of beyond theory and a little bit more about patterns and frameworks that they have developed, but that insight has come from many hours of learning other peoples work and then developing patterns of there own via improv.

Almost no-one knows about it. You haven't even run a crowdfunding campaign for it (which you should do just for the attention). I assure you people (and the media) would care if you pitched it correctly with a nicely made video. We have a film-makers collective at Omni you know.

But maybe you _should_ take a long break from that project and do something creative. One piece of advice though: Before you shelve it for months/years take an hour to go through all of the files, write notes about everything for future you and back them up offline in multiple locations. Future you will thank past you.

As far as music, I'm kinda looking for some music theory learning stuff myself. Playing instruments is one thing, but composition is another. I haven't found anything good.
