BeardLog — Beard Growth, measured.

New hair growth routine? Track progress, don’t guess.

What it does

Most beard growth apps focus on photos, journaling, or general progress tracking. We focus on measurement. Repeat photos are turned into comparable hair estimates, helping users track changes in estimated hair count and density over time. A consistent baseline and measurement area make it easier to compare progress, while routine tracking connects those measurements to what users are actually trying. Instead of asking “Is it working?”, users get data to help them see what’s changing.

BeardLog turns repeat beard photos into comparable hair estimates, so you can measure whether your routine is working.

Starting minoxidil, microneedling, or a new routine? Turn repeat photos into comparable hair estimates —and finally see if anything changed. Take a close-up before your routine has time to change anything. Trace one cheek, chin, or jaw field. Record what you started and when. Keep minoxidil, microneedling, and every other regimen on one timeline. Return with the same pose, light, area, and settings. BeardLog reads the change against Day 0. Follow one real beard field from raw photo, to visible detector marks, to the kind of trend BeardLog builds across repeat measurements. This BeardLog detector demonstration is not a growth before-and-after or a customer result. One cheek field becomes the…from beardlog.app

  • 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:…

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes&#x2F;sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
