Box of Rain - Auto-Layouted ASCII Diagrams
In plain words
Box of Rain is an ASCII diagram tool that automatically arranges text-based diagrams. It lets users create visual layouts without manual positioning, making it simpler to draw flowcharts, org charts, and other ASCII art structures. The tool is designed for developers and documentation writers who need quick, text-friendly diagrams that version control easily. Auto-layout handling distinguishes it from manual ASCII editing approaches.

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:…
