RoveMesh
The group chat that works when nothing else does
What it does
RoveMesh is a handheld messenger that sends encrypted text and GPS positions device to device over LoRa mesh radio — no cell towers, no SIM, and no subscription for device-to-device messaging. Every unit relays for the others, so the network grows stronger with each device; managed RoveConnect base stations extend it further. E-paper screen, physical keyboard, multi-day battery. Prototype stage, built in Québec — we publish what our tests actually show, including the failures.
RoveMesh is a handheld off-grid messenger: encrypted text and GPS location over long-range LoRa radio — no cell towers, no SIM. Pre-order from the first production batch.
RoveMesh is a handheld messenger that sends encrypted text and location over long-range LoRa radio — no cell towers, no SIM required. Your group stays connected in the backcountry, at sea, in a blackout, anywhere the bars run out. Not ready to buy? Join the waitlist — honest build updates, and $10 off when you are. Every Rove is a node. Two make a link, a few make a mesh — and messages hop device to device until they arrive. A rugged pocket messenger with a physical keyboard, a sunlight-readable reflective MIP display that refreshes instantly, GPS, and a long-range LoRa radio. Built to sip power — it lasts days, not hours. Fixed base stations that lift the mesh across a town, campus, or…from rovemesh.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:…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
