Narumelo
Small circles and thoughtful communities for introverts
What it does
Narumelo helps introverts connect at their own pace. Join private Circles of up to 8 people for close-knit chats, or explore Communities for wider, topic-based discussions. Join public Communities or request access to moderated ones. Daily prompts, social battery status, and mutual DMs help keep conversations low-pressure. Text-first, with no swiping, forced calls, or expectation of instant replies.
Narumelo is a calm, privacy-focused social platform for introverts built around small interest-based circles.
Narumelo gathers small, private, interest-based circles for introverts. One gentle prompt a day, text-first chat, and zero forced video calls — so you can make friends at your own pace. No swiping, no shouting into a feed. Just a calm path to a small group that gets you. Share your energy type, interests, and how you like to reply. We never ask for your exact address or show your email. Get matched to a circle of up to 8 people around a shared interest. Request to join, then settle in at your own pace. Answer one Daily Prompt privately, keep it in your archive, or choose to share it with Narumelo. Direct messages open only when you both agree.

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…
