Bonbon — Safe videos for kids
Kids' video app with zero brainrot, human-checked catalog
What it does
Bonbon is a curated video app for kids 2–12. Every video is checked for quality before it appears: no brainrot, no AI-generated junk, no overstimulating editing. Parents control languages and screen time, and get weekly reports. No brainrot, no tracking. Videos are free on iOS and Android
Bonbon is a kids
A calm, curated video app for children — no brainrot, no junk, and you stay in control. One rule behind everything: a video gets in only after it has been checked — and you stay in charge. Most kids' platforms are engineered to hook. Bonbon is built the other way: fewer videos, better ones. Bonbon is built by a parent in Almaty, Kazakhstan, who wanted a video app worth handing to their own kids — and is made for families everywhere. That's the whole point of the app. Every video passes a check before it can appear in the catalog, there is no brainrot and no tracking, and a parent area behind Face ID/PIN gives you watch history, blocking, language choices and screen-time limits.

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…
