Stride – local-first Markdown-based engineering calcs and documentation
Hey everyone, I’m Weike, one of the founders of Stride, a more modern technical documentation + calculation software for engineers and other calculation-driven professionals. I worked as a structural engineer before and have always found the tools to create calculations (Excel and Mathcad mainly) to be unintuitive, terrible at communicating the intent of the calcs, and hard to integrate with my other tools. Honestly lots of it was just doing stuff on Excel, then screenshottinng it, and then putting it in a PDF document. Years later, I worked as a software engineer and saw all the fantastic…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hey everyone, I’m Weike, one of the founders of Stride, a more modern technical documentation + calculation software for engineers and other calculation-driven professionals. I worked as a structural engineer before and have always found the tools to create calculations (Excel and Mathcad mainly) to be unintuitive, terrible at communicating the intent of the calcs, and hard to integrate with my other tools. Honestly lots of it was just doing stuff on Excel, then screenshottinng it, and then putting it in a PDF document. Years later, I worked as a software engineer and saw all the fantastic tooling available (vscode extensions, version control, pull requests, commit histories, etc) and saw a really big parallel between code and calcs. Stride is our attempt at bringing some of that tooling to traditional engineering. Our V1 currently is just being able to do dynamic calculations in a clear format with a robust units handling system, with version control/small reviews as well as an extensions platform following later. More than happy to answer any questions here!

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:…
