Hypertest - A test runner for developers with ADHD
TL;DR: a test runner focused on making devs w/ ADHD happy. Hello HN! My name is [redacted], a dev with ADHD. I believe there's different design constraints on tooling for devs with ADHD compared to their "normal"counterparts. That's what I'm here to solve. I gathered experiences of other ADHD devs, to summarize: (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33280461) - Memory: People w/ ADHD have horrendous short term memory (hard to keep grasp of the current *thing/task*) - Distraction: Are easily distracted, tend to fall off the focus wagon easily. - Boring…
In plain words
Hypertest is a test runner designed specifically for developers with ADHD. It addresses common challenges including working memory limitations, distractibility, and difficulty maintaining task lists by offering interface design tailored to these needs. The tool aims to help developers stay focused and organized while running tests, built with accessibility and usability constraints in mind for neurodivergent developers.

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 a thing! In 2014, I was holding a stack of iPhones and thought to myself: "Hey, if I had each phone display a playing card, I could click a button and they'd shuffle themselves" I pared that idea all the way down to this: trading cards made of e-ink displays. Right now, each card costs me about $20 each, but with only a bit more scale, I think I can get that down to $10. In doing this project, I learned how to design electronics and circuit boards. I learned Rust and wrote my first driver, I upped my CAD skills, 3D printed, and did my first resin casting. I generated the images on the…
