Aika
While spending long hours coding, I wanted a simple way to follow the 20-20-20 eye care rule (every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds). I couldn’t find a browser-based timer that allowed recurring notifications with custom intervals, so I built Aika. It’s also been useful for timeboxing meetings and as a lightweight Pomodoro timer. - Runs in any browser - Free, no sign-up - Minimal by design Sharing in case anyone else needs something like this. Feedback is very welcome!

Online Timers2023 · timerone.com · ▲12Minimal online date calculators and timers: pomodoro, countdown, stopwatch, alarm clock. Pomodoro is easily configurable with the ability to add additional timers and to set predefined break activities. I like to add a few leg and core exercises (variations of squat and plank) and some stretching. Helps me to remember to move away from the monitor and relax the brain.

I went down the rabbit hole on a side project and ended up building this: Strange Attractors(https://blog.shashanktomar.com/posts/strange-attractors). It’s built with three.js. Working on it reminded me of the little "maths for fun" exercises I used to do while learning programming in early days. Just trying things out, getting fascinated and geeky, and being surprised by the results. I spent way too much time on this, but it was extreme fun. My favorite part: someone pointed me to the Simone Attractor on Threads. It is a 2D attractor and I asked GPT to extrapolate it to…

Autism Simulator▲779Hey all, I built this. It’s not trying to capture every autistic experience (that’d be impossible). It’s based on my own lived experience as well as that of friends on the spectrum. I'm trying to give people a feel for what masking, decision fatigue, and burnout can look like day-to-day. That’s hard to explain in words, but easier to show through choices and stats. I'm not trying to "define autism". I’ve gotten good feedback here about resilience, meds, and difficulty tuning. I’ll keep tweaking it. If even a few people walk away thinking, "ah, maybe that’s why my coworker struggles in those…
