EarthXLab

Don't watch space. Investigate it.

What it does

EarthXLab turns real satellite imagery into clear, evidence-led stories of planetary change. It is an interactive platform where learners investigate real satellite imagery across all 8 planets compare before/after change, draw observations, answer questions, and earn a mission certificate. Evidence-based planetary science, made hands-on.

EarthXLab turns real satellite imagery into clear, evidence-led stories of planetary change.

EarthXLab is an educational web app where learners explore real satellite imagery, compare planetary change over time, draw observations, answer questions, and earn mission certificates. Move the line to compare real historical and current imagery of the same place. EarthXLab teaches evidence-based planetary science through guided, interactive missions. Learners study satellite imagery, complete hands-on observations, answer assessment questions, and receive a completion certificate. An account keeps mission progress connected to the learner. Google Sign-In is used only for basic account authentication; EarthXLab does not request access to Google Drive, Gmail, Calendar, contacts, or other…from earthxlab.space

  • 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&#x2F;priority when its time is up. One…
