Lucky Dangle

A lucky charm for your Mac

What it does

Lucky Dangle brings lucky charms from around the world to your Mac. Pick a charm (a nazar, a daruma, a maneki-neko, a nimbu-mirchi, or any emoji) and hang it from the top of your screen. It sways on real rope physics. Clicks pass straight through it. A shortcut drops it in when you need it, before a deploy, a demo, an interview. No AI, no account, no subscription, nothing collected. Pay once, and new charms arrive in free updates.

Choose a lucky charm and hang it from the top of your screen, on Mac or Windows. It sways while you work, stays out of every click, and drops in when you call it.

Choose a charm and hang it from the top of your screen, on Mac or Windows. It sways while you work, stays out of every click, and drops in when you call it. Each one comes from a tradition around the world, with a small ritual of its own. Pick a charm to hang it on this page. A glass eye worn against the evil eye. Give it a flick when you want a little cover. An open hand carried for protection and good fortune. Give it a flick to send bad luck on its way. Seven chilies and a lemon hung at the threshold to turn away misfortune. Replace it with a fresh one when the week is up. A bell rung to clear the air and mark a beginning. Ring it when you make a wish, or before something that matters. A…from luckydangle.app

  • 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:…

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes&#x2F;sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
