Retold
Turn family voices into hand-drawn story films
What it does
Record a memory or import an old voice note. Retold keeps the real voice and turns the story into a hand-drawn film and readable book. The sketches follow the people, places and little details as they are spoken, then every memory is kept together on your family shelf.
Retold turns the stories your family tells — in their own voice — into little hand-drawn films the whole family can keep.
The storyteller. The one about the canal. The one about the car giving up in Wales. You know every word — and you'd still hear it again. A story isn't the words — it's the voice that tells it. The pause before the good bit. The laugh they can't hold in. Hand them the phone. One big red button. No forms, no typing — just the story, the way they always tell it. It listens and sketches the story into a little film — wobbly stick figures, the dog, the splash — timed to their voice. Every story goes on the family shelf. The grandkids press play at bedtime — in a voice they'd know anywhere. Subscriptions will be billed by the app stores and renew until cancelled. Google runs it as a closed test,…from stories-retold.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/priority when its time is up. One…
