Pika – Simple blogging software
Hello HN! I wanted to share something we at Good Enough (https://goodenough.us) built over the past month. Pika! https://pika.page I know, I know, who needs more blogging software? In this case, _I DO_. I find that the big players in the market have a distracting number of dials and knobs. I greatly appreciate the indieweb players in the space, but none of those solutions quite fit my way of blogging and so I'd bounce from one to the other to the other. I tried SSGs and my goodness do I dislike the experience of maintaining a website with them. I dislike the SSG…
In plain words
Pika is blogging software built by Good Enough that focuses on simplicity and the writing experience. It provides an editor that works with or without Markdown and offers basic customization options without overwhelming complexity.

Hello HN! I wanted to share something we at Good Enough (https://goodenough.us) built over the past month. Pika! https://pika.page I know, I know, who needs more blogging software? In this case, _I DO_. I find that the big players in the market have a distracting number of dials and knobs. I greatly appreciate the indieweb players in the space, but none of those solutions quite fit my way of blogging and so I'd bounce from one to the other to the other. I tried SSGs and my goodness do I dislike the experience of maintaining a website with them. I dislike the SSG experience so much that before convincing the team to build Pika with me, I was actually blogging by writing straight HTML! Pika is about simplifying blogging down to writing. Pika provides a great editor that doesn't _require_ Markdown (but accepts it) and a light bit of easy-to-use customizability without distracting you. With that baseline, we hope Pika can be a nice place for semi-technical folks to start or continue their blogging journey without all of the fiddly bits. In the longer term we'd like to make blogging more and more accessible to those who are non-technical, and we will grow our feature set and UX accordingly. We would love to hear thoughts from anyone that is an active blogger or considering starting a blog. Also, if you know someone who is on the hunt for easy, beautiful blogging software we'd appreciate you letting them know about Pika. Thank you!

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:…
