Infinite Hagakure

Once upon a time I watched Jim Jarmusch's Ghost Dog and fell in love with the theme, aesthetic, and philosophy. The underpinning text is the Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai, with which the 14-year-old me became obsessed. After briefly reigniting my interest when reading a book by Yukio Mishima, I had a hazy idea of an infinite-scrolling Hagakure. Wherever you are in the world, you can open the page and jump right in at the same point as everybody else. It's not much, but it was an idea that formed and I'm pleased to have executed it.

In plain words

Infinite Hagakure presents the Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai as an infinite-scrolling text that syncs globally, allowing readers anywhere to access the same passage at any given moment. The project draws inspiration from the samurai philosophy and aesthetic explored in Jim Jarmusch's Ghost Dog. Users can open the page and begin reading wherever they are in the world, experiencing the text's meditations on duty, honor, and existence in a shared, continuously flowing format.

  • 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:…
