Diarist

One place for every plan

What it does

Diarist is an attempt to make event planning fun again. See all your upcoming dates in one place, filter by circles of friends and family, keep everyone up to date at once and talk through the details together. Escape group chat hell and get back to focussing on what matters, bringing together the people you care about.

A shared diary for family and friends. One place to organise plans instead of endless group chats. Everyone answers with a tap: Going, Maybe or Can

Stop organising your life across endless group chats. Make a plan in Diarist, send your invites and keep everyone updated in one easy-to-follow place. One circle for the family, one for the preschool parents, one for the gym. Each plan goes to its circle, so the right people see it and nobody else does. New people join with an invite link. Share a circle with the family and everyone sees the same diary: school things, birthdays, the weekend away. Nobody has to be the one relaying updates. Going, Maybe or Can't, even from the lock screen. You see who's coming at a glance, not by scrolling back through a chat. A yes goes straight in your calendar. New time, different venue: edit the plan and…from diarist-app.com

  • 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.
