What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

It's a simple extension that can add comments to SHA1 of the current tab URL. Comments are stored on a $5&#x2F;mo VPS in the &#x2F;<sha1(url)>&#x2F;<sha1(comment)=text form. See https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;comntr&#x2F;webext&#x2F;. I I thought it would be cool to have reddit-like discussions for any URL, so here we go. For now the extension is available only on Firefox: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;addons.mozilla.org&#x2F;en-US&#x2F;firefox&#x2F;addon&#x2F;comntr&#x2F;. The reason I haven't published its Chrome version is that the Chrome Web Store now requires a phone number and a credit card, which is the same thing as asking for ID. The extension can be installed manually, though: this is how I test it. P.S. I know that giving a random extension access to tab URLs is a questionable idea, but unfortunately I can't write in manifest.json that the extension only needs SHA1 of the URL. And you can always compute the SHA1 yourself and use https:&#x2F;&#x2F;comntr.github.io#<sha1> :)

Does the same job

  • Eigendrum - Draw any shape and hear what it sounds like as a drum▲243

    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:…
