I made Confetti: a configuration language file format
Hello everyone, I created Confetti: a simple, typeless, and localization-friendly configuration language designed for human-editable configuration files. In my opinion, JSON works well for data interchange, but it's overused for configuration, it's not localization-friendly, and it's too syntactically noisy. INI is simple but lacks hierarchical structures and doesn't have a formal specification. Confetti is intended to bridge the gap. I aim to keep Confetti simple and minimalistic, while encouraging others to extend it. Think of it like Markdown for configuration files: there's a core…
In plain words
Confetti is a configuration language designed for human-editable files. It aims to simplify configuration management by offering a middle ground between JSON's syntactic complexity and INI's structural limitations. The format is typeless and localization-friendly, following a minimalist philosophy similar to Markdown. Developers and teams seeking more readable configuration files without unnecessary syntax noise are its intended users. The core specification remains simple while allowing community extensions.

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:…
