What it does

Browser-based live video. Show up on Square to be found, or run your own group with a stage. Pull people up, send video messages when they’re offline, keep clips in Feeds. No app store. Vloggers, classes, bands, friends, anyone who’d rather meet in one room.

VidPlaza is a focused live video platform for vloggers: Square plaza, private Live groups, video messages, feeds, and community safety tools. Sign in to create and collaborate.

Finishing sign-in and opening your invite. This can take a few seconds. No one is waving yet. Friends wave from your tile on Square; group members wave from the strip. No audio links yet. Tap the headset on a friend’s tile — they must accept. Pull all never opens mics or dumps Live recordings into Feeds. Your Live Participants cap (free 4, up to 20 if purchased) is how many people you can hear at once. Their 5 or 20 seats do not have to match yours — each pair is one yes on each side. Click a tile to pull them on stage — up to 4. Use × on stage to send them back. Floats over your VPL view only — not sent to Mux / YouTube / Facebook / X. Send VPL Group Link lives 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:…

  • 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…
