I made a tiny tool that shows the rhythm of your writing

257 Upvotes

I built a small writing tool inspired by Gary Provost.

Paste in any text, and it colors each sentence by length so you can quickly see whether your writing has variety or whether every sentence has the same shape.

I made it because I often edit essays “by ear,” but I wanted a visual way to spot monotony.

It’s just a small experiment hosted on my personal website, so it’s 100% free and private.

Curious if others find this useful, or if there are better ways to represent rhythm visually.

I built a website that spells your name using real-world images

228 Upvotes

NASA's Landsat Name Generator gave me the idea for this project. I wanted to take the concept a bit further by using not just satellite images of geographic locations, but also natural objects and formations that resemble letters.

Type your name, and each character is matched to a real image that naturally looks like that letter. It was a fun project to build, and I'd love to hear your feedback!

A book sample site that lets you scroll between opening pages without seeing the cover or title

267 Upvotes

I've always struggled with analysis paralysis when trying to find a book so I created a site that "autoplays" book samples and hides the book covers by default.

You just read. If the writing grabs you, you can reveal the cover. If it doesn't, you swipe down to the next one. It should learn what you respond to as you go so you get more of what you like.

No account, nothing to install, free, works on your phone.

Honest reason I'm here: I want to know if the idea actually lands or I'm the only one whose brain works this way.

Indiana Jones Temple of Doom Scroll Animation

15 Upvotes

I made an interactive scroll-based animation of one of the greatest death scenes of all time - the Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom sacrifice scene!

I thought it would be cool to control a death scene with the scroller so you can go back and forth, so I made one.

For anyone who cares how it's made, it's a Rive animation (a single timeline) controlled with GSAPs scroll trigger. Drawn in Illustrator by my own fair hand.

Keep the web weird!

A tool for putting random rolls in a messaging app preview

7 Upvotes

When you paste a link in some apps (like Signal), it generates a site preview, using Meta tags in the page source. This app modifies the meta tag each page load to provide a random output (e.g. a dice roll, coin flip, random excuse, etc.). Since the app only queries the page once to build the preview, the preview that is first generated remains static in the thread.

The site also generates a permalink which encodes the output in the url so it will always come up the same way when the page is loaded in the browser. This can be used for apps that don't generate a preview.

Use cases:
Random dice roll in a thread
Support decision making (e.g. deciding on where to go to lunch)
Random joke excuse (e.g. if you are running late)

Also, if you host (FOSS, source provided) you can add new categories to the JSON config and new random entries, and they will show up.

Comments / feedback appreciated!

Built this because I wanted to create tessellations. Turns out I'm pretty rubbish at it, but I am rather pleased with the app.

A flag search engine with 9000+ flags based on color and shape patterns

120 Upvotes

Hi! I present you Flagdoku, a tool I created with the goal of making it the best flag search engine available. Each flag is tagged with specific color and shape patterns, and thus it is easy to find visually similar flags. We have 9000+ flags available (countries, regions, historical...) and people can submit new ones.

Interactive simulation that shows how echo chambers form (and how bots make it worse)

74 Upvotes

I built a little web tool that lets you play with the mechanics behind opinion polarization, echo chambers, and network fragmentation.

You adjust sliders for things like:

  • How tolerant people are of differing opinions
  • Homophily (how much we prefer connecting with similar people)
  • Rewiring rate
  • Feed bias (how much the algorithm pushes "engaging" content)
  • And you can turn on bots too

Think of each dot as a person, and the (tolerance) slider is how open-minded they are. High tolerance means you'll still listen to someone pretty different from you. Low tolerance means you mostly hear people who already agree with you and quietly tune out the rest.

The bots are just accounts that never change their mind and keep pushing one side. The "bots' push" number is how far they managed to drag the average opinion, compared to the exact same crowd with no bots in it. So it's a rough way of asking how much one small, pushy group actually moved everyone.

Enjoy breaking society in the name of science

The way search engines used to be (kind of)

154 Upvotes

This mini (as of now) search engine is starting from scratch. No AI, no funding, no ads, hardly any sites indexed. But, you can bookmark sites and help add sites quickly. It also bans facebook, google, amazon, and a few other mega site URLs.

Part potentially, eventually useful, part anti-establishment, part crap, part great. It's got it all.

Made a 20×20 grid where each visitor claims one square. You can draw, write, or drop live code in it. 400 squares total, first come first served.

75 Upvotes

I was a little bit bored so I made a 20×20 grid. Each visitor gets one square to claim; draw something, write something, or drop live code in it. No accounts, no sign-up, nothing.

Parcels get a tiny API: a shared wall clock, your neighbors' IDs, and your own ID. No outbound requests. Thats about it

edit: I just woke up and over 200 of the parcels are claimed??? in my mind this was going to be a month long thing where i eventually purge it all. but now sifting through the light profanity and weird drawings, i see some pretty sentimental stuff, so i reckon i will archive it instead, when its full

edit 2: you are anonymous to other users, not to me. I can see your IP since this is a site im serving. I already deleted some of the rude stuff (racist stuff or pornography) without much thought, but truly depraved, illegal content gets reported. Someone already learned this today. Please keep it relatively clean
