- ATA text format for UI wireframes – comparing token costs across 4 formatFeb 2026 · github.com · ▲5
I've been exploring how to describe UI layouts to LLMs efficiently. The problem: When you ask an AI to generate or modify UI, how do you describe the current state? - Natural language ("header on top, form below") is ambiguous - ASCII art breaks when edited (alignment issues) - HTML is precise but verbose I ran some measurements. For a simple login form: - Natural language: 102 tokens - ASCII art: 84 tokens - HTML: 330 tokens I experimented with a grid-based text format using Excel-like cell references: grid: 4x3 A1..D1: { type: txt, value: "Login" } A2..D2: { type: input, label: "Email" }…

- ABA botless meeting recorder and summarizer that runs in the browserMay 2026 · wocal.app · ▲5
I built a browser app for recording calls and turning them into transcripts/summaries without inviting a meeting bot. The current version is BYOK: you provide an OpenAI API key, stored locally in your browser. Recordings/projects stay in browser storage; selected audio/transcript text is sent to OpenAI only when you run transcription/summary. I am testing whether the wedge is real: no bot in the meeting, no SaaS workspace for recordings, summaries/exports afterward. I would appreciate feedback on the trust boundary and whether BYOK is acceptable for a first version.…

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:…
