What it does

Ends the "what should we watch / eat / play" argument. One person deals a deck of movies, shows, cuisines or board games, friends join with a code, swipe privately (yes / no / maybe / veto), and results unlock for everyone at once. Free, ad-free, no install.

The free group-decision app: pick a movie, a series to binge, what to eat, or a board game together — deal a deck, swipe with the crew, match on tonight's pick.

The group-decision app for nights in and nights out: deal a deck of movies, shows, cravings, or board games, and let the whole crew swipe their way to tonight's pick — no more "I don't know, what do you want?" Movies, shows, cravings, or board games — pick moods and filters and we brew a curated deck for tonight. Share a six-letter party code. Friends join from any device, no app install needed. Everyone swipes yes, no or maybe. Veto the hard no's. Undo the misclicks. Results unlock when everyone's done. Full match or top picks — or let the dicefrom pickaru.com

  • 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&#x2F;priority when its time is up. One…
