JamFan: Musician & Band Finder
Find nearby musicians to play with
What it does
JamFan matches you with musicians nearby - by instrument, genre, skill and intent, not keyword filters. Profiles play: every card has a 60-second video/audio demo. Match, chat in real time, go play. Free on iOS, Android and web.
JamFan is the app for musicians. Find bandmates, drummers, guitarists, singers and producers near you, matched by instrument, genre, skill level and vibe. Watch video showcases, chat in real time and book the first jam. Free on iOS, Android and the web.
JamFan matches you with compatible musicians nearby, based on instrument, genre, skill level and vibe. Find a band, find a drummer, find your people. Then go play. Pick your instruments, genres, skill level and location - don’t forget the clip! We’ll find compatible musicians nearby, ranked by genuine compatibility. Chat in real time, swap clips, and lock in a time and a place. Craigslist . Dead posts, zero filters, zero trust. You can’t search “drummer, metal, within 10 miles”. Facebook groups . Endless noise. No profiles, no matching. Your “looking for a bassist” post vanishes in an hour. Word of mouth . Only works if you already know the scene. New in town? Good luck finding anyone.…from jam.fan

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 OwnTime to balance between competing priorities in my life. The idea is based on two main influences: the concept of "roles" from "The 5 Choices" (2015), and my repeated failure to effectively implement time blocking due to the necessary flexibility in my role. The app allows you to define time budgets, which are not much more than a few mutually exclusive countdown timers. The UX is essentially that of a chess clock for an arbitrary number of players with configurable time. The whole point of the app is to kick you out of the running role/priority when its time is up. One…
