Vesting Gap – Calculate your true RSU tax bill and avoid surprise IRS penalties

In plain words

Vesting Gap helps tech employees calculate their true tax liability when RSUs vest by estimating federal, state, Social Security, and Medicare taxes based on salary and location. The tool compares broker default withholding against actual tax obligations to identify underpayment risks and recommends strategies like extra sell-to-cover shares or quarterly payments. It connects users with specialized CPAs for complex equity situations.

  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:…

  OwnTime – a chess clock for your day's priorities▲113

  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&#x2F;priority when its time is up. One…
