Converge
The app for planning nights out
What it does
When the group chat can't decide, Converge builds the plan. Everyone checks in privately, the engine matches your combined taste against real venues, and you vote on three plans. Live in DC, NY, LA, Chicago, Austin, London, Paris & Barcelona. Free on iOS + web.
The app for planning nights out. Save spots that match your taste, follow people who save like you, and when the crew can
For you and the group chat that can never pick a spot. Save the bars, restaurants and live shows that match your taste, build boards your crew steals from, and when nobody can agree, we plan the night around them. We stopped a real crew on the street at a real event to ask about their night out. No script, no stock library — just the people this is actually built for. Spin the whole network, drop into your city, watch every neighborhood light up — then tick through the day, hour by hour. Live data, real spots, your taste. Calibrate your taste, save spots that match it, follow people who save like you. When the group can't agree on a night out, we build the plan. A 5-step curated onboarding…from convergehq.ai

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…
