Pxl.to – A serverless link shortener with no limits and no downtime

I built a service based on Amazon CloudFront's global edge network of points of presence. This distributed architecture affords the user: - Protection against network and application layer attacks - Robust and reliable links that will never go down - Instant links with low latency no matter where your visitors are in the world - Unlimited tracked clicks (no cap on clicks/month) The service has support for teams and custom domains, and auto-generates an SSL cert for every custom domain added, for HTTPS-secure links. It's largely free and can be found at https://www.pxl.to I'd…

In plain words

Pxl.to is a link shortener built on Amazon CloudFront's global network that offers unlimited click tracking with no monthly caps. The service protects against network attacks, ensures links never go down, and delivers fast performance worldwide. It supports teams and custom domains with automatic SSL certificates for secure links. Largely free to use, it's designed for anyone needing reliable, tracked short links at scale.

  • 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:…
