Envirobly – Efficient App Hosting
This is my, fully bootstrapped, take on an application hosting platform. I designed it primarily for myself, to meet the following goals: * Utilize the best parts of the cloud, leave expensive value added services behind. * Host anywhere in the world, close to your users. * Batteries included: backups, logging, monitoring, auto-scaling, containerization, databases. * Simple and user friendly. The journey was tough. It took me round about 3 years to get everything just right. This goes against the conventional wisdom of getting something simple out quick. With a hosting platform however, in…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
This is my, fully bootstrapped, take on an application hosting platform. I designed it primarily for myself, to meet the following goals: * Utilize the best parts of the cloud, leave expensive value added services behind. * Host anywhere in the world, close to your users. * Batteries included: backups, logging, monitoring, auto-scaling, containerization, databases. * Simple and user friendly. The journey was tough. It took me round about 3 years to get everything just right. This goes against the conventional wisdom of getting something simple out quick. With a hosting platform however, in my mind, reliability, stability and certain maturity are a must have from the start. I definitely need to work on the presentation, it's barely covering the basics. But you have to start somewhere :-) I'd love to hear some critique from the community. Thanks!

So a while ago I was thinking it would be neat to build a site that had the most absolute utility. The idea I came up with was a site to store those little protips that are super useful, if you know them ahead of time. I hired a guy to work on it with me, and ClueDB was born: http://cluedb.com/ Please give it a whirl (it uses Twitter auth as login but doesn't tweet anything) and tell me what you think! (Various trivia: My first try at a project coded by someone else and "product managed" by me. Runs on Flask + MongoDB. Also, this is totally unrelated to my startup.)

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 went down the rabbit hole on a side project and ended up building this: Strange Attractors(https://blog.shashanktomar.com/posts/strange-attractors). It’s built with three.js. Working on it reminded me of the little "maths for fun" exercises I used to do while learning programming in early days. Just trying things out, getting fascinated and geeky, and being surprised by the results. I spent way too much time on this, but it was extreme fun. My favorite part: someone pointed me to the Simone Attractor on Threads. It is a 2D attractor and I asked GPT to extrapolate it to…

Hey all, I built this. It’s not trying to capture every autistic experience (that’d be impossible). It’s based on my own lived experience as well as that of friends on the spectrum. I'm trying to give people a feel for what masking, decision fatigue, and burnout can look like day-to-day. That’s hard to explain in words, but easier to show through choices and stats. I'm not trying to "define autism". I’ve gotten good feedback here about resilience, meds, and difficulty tuning. I’ll keep tweaking it. If even a few people walk away thinking, "ah, maybe that’s why my coworker struggles in those…
