My first Chrome extension (TabZolo.co)

I had an idea to build a Chrome extension to help stay on track with browsing the internet in today's multi-tab-able browsers. I wanted a solution that would encourage (ie, force) me to finish my business on a single given tab before going on to doing something else in another. TabZolo is the result of my dabbling with a buddy. Using the chrome.* APIs, when enabled, the extension forces you to use one tab and window (except incognito windows - but I probably shouldn't have told you that) and kills any new tabs/windows that get created instead replacing the current tab with the new URL.…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

I had an idea to build a Chrome extension to help stay on track with browsing the internet in today's multi-tab-able browsers. I wanted a solution that would encourage (ie, force) me to finish my business on a single given tab before going on to doing something else in another. TabZolo is the result of my dabbling with a buddy. Using the chrome.* APIs, when enabled, the extension forces you to use one tab and window (except incognito windows - but I probably shouldn't have told you that) and kills any new tabs/windows that get created instead replacing the current tab with the new URL. You can check it out at www.tabzolo.co. It's completely open-sourced on GitHub too if anyone wants to extend its functionality. What do you think of it?

  • 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:…
