Known – Semi-smart plant labels

A little while back I posted a little experiment we ran linking plants to the web in the garden. Well we got a lot of positive feedback on that idea, and decided to launch https://www.knownplants.com. It's a web application paired with fairly inexpensive semi-smart NFC enabled labels that help gardeners keep up with their plants. What do you think?

In plain words

Known is a web application paired with NFC-enabled plant labels that help gardeners track and manage their plants. Users attach the inexpensive labels to plants in their garden, then access plant information and care details through the web platform by scanning the labels with a phone. The system is designed for home gardeners who want an organized way to keep records and stay on top of plant maintenance.

  • 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:…
