Glossary page template with a built-in editor
This started out as a static HTML file, being used by some developers at my current employer to document "domain terminology" relevant to products we're building. Soon it became too much work to update the items in the HTML manually, so I added a JavaScript-based editor. It relies on a tiny Node.js server to write changes back to the HTML file. Not as user-friendly as a "normal" web-based application, but it does mean we can keep the HTML file under version control and follow our normal development process for making/tracking changes.
In plain words
Glossary page template with a built-in editor is a tool for documenting domain terminology. It combines a static HTML file with a JavaScript-based editor and Node.js backend, allowing developers to update glossary entries directly. Changes are saved back to the HTML file, enabling version control integration and standard development workflows. It prioritizes maintainability over traditional web application interfaces.

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've seen some interests in (simulation) video games here on HN so I thought I'd share a short version of our story. More than 6 years ago, me and my friend from university were playing around with an idea of making a game we always wanted to play. We worked on it on weekends but the progress was quite slow, especially due to so many dead ends and wasted effort. Eventually however, we solidified our direction and decided to take the risk to resign from our well paid SWE jobs and work on it full time. It took more than a year but yesterday we have finally released it on Steam:…
