First startup, first app: Kwixer

Greetings ! https://www.kwixer.com We’re two freshly graduated students and we’ve developed our first smartphone app called Kwixer with 0 funds! Kwixer enables you to share and review what you do like what movies you’ve watched, what songs you’ve listened to, what books you’ve read, what video games you’ve played and which restaurants you went to. Kwixer is unique because of its social recommendation engine, let’s say you’ve watched “Skyfall” and loved it; Kwixer will not only recommend you other James Bond movies or other action movies your friends loved but will also recommend theme songs…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Greetings ! https://www.kwixer.com We’re two freshly graduated students and we’ve developed our first smartphone app called Kwixer with 0 funds! Kwixer enables you to share and review what you do like what movies you’ve watched, what songs you’ve listened to, what books you’ve read, what video games you’ve played and which restaurants you went to. Kwixer is unique because of its social recommendation engine, let’s say you’ve watched “Skyfall” and loved it; Kwixer will not only recommend you other James Bond movies or other action movies your friends loved but will also recommend theme songs from the movie like the song “Skyfall” from Adele. We cross reference a lot of data so you’d discover the things you’re about to love. This is our first app and first version; we’ve developed on iOS and windows phone and working on the android app, we know we need to do a lot of UX improvements to make it simpler, please give us a lot of feedback and let us know what you think! Our data comes mostly from Freebase, iTunes and Foursquare. Both our apps are native, we built our own transitions we wanted to feel different so let us know ;)...And finally our backend is developed with .net.

  • 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:…
