A browser-based public speaking simulator with WebXR support
Practice your presentation on a configurable virtual stage. Upload slides, choose realistic presenter equipment and rehearse on desktop or in WebXR VR.
What it does
Your slides. Your stage. Your actual setup. Rehearse with only the equipment you will have when it counts. PDF or images recommended. PPTX is experimental. Files stay in this browser. No microphone, recording or audio. Preparing the auditorium… No physical time display is enabled. You will not see time remaining in realistic view. Use this same stage inside a headset. No extra presentation information is shown in VR. Speak out loud as you rehearse. Nothing is recorded, and no microphone permission is requested. Choose the first slide and time budget for each section. Slide budgets are distributed evenly within each section. Rehearsal paused. This is a preparation tool, not an extra display…from generateppt.com

Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

I made OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life. The idea is based on two main influences: the concept of "roles" from "The 5 Choices" (2015), and my repeated failure to effectively implement time blocking due to the necessary flexibility in my role. The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role/priority when its time is up. One…
