In plain words

Primitive for macOS is a life and fun application that launched in November 2016. The tool reconstructs images using geometric shapes, creating stylized versions of photos or pictures. It's designed for macOS users who want to experiment with algorithmic art generation and transform their images into primitive geometric representations. The application appeals to creative professionals and hobbyists interested in exploring how algorithms can reimagine visual content through simple shapes.

  • 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:…
