MacYaps

What it does

MacYaps turns your Mac into a personality-packed companion that talks back. It automatically plays audio clips for real system events: Battery levels & charger plugged/unplugged - High CPU usage - WiFi connect/disconnect & latency spikes - USB devices plugged in/out. Every trigger is fully customizable. Choose from multiple voice packs (Cheeky Irish, Thick Australian, Savage New Yorker, Dramatic Opera, Valley Girl, and more) or add your custom sounds. Your Mac finally has personality.

  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:…

  I built a frontpage for personal blogs▲783

  With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https:&#x2F;&#x2F;text.blogosphere.app&#x2F; Non-minimal: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blogosphere.app&#x2F; If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
