There’s an open source project for a glove which seem to aim for similar relief. I wonder how they compare in effectiveness.

"what if… economics", a simple one-page economics simulator: https://whatifeconomics.com

I wanted to have a place to see the effect of changing macroeconomic factors, e.g. interest rate, inflation, unemployment, etc. It's designed to show economic relationships for non-experts.

I just submit things I find interesting and occasionally other people find it interesting too. Usually opposite to what I expected.

Not OP but I believe it’s Fugu (7B). According to [0]: “Fugu itself is a trained coordinator LLM.”

A web app (PWA) for logging tinnitus episodes - Mimi Memo: https://mimimemo.com/

Developed for my personal use but publicly available and open source. I’m pretty happy with the current state so don’t expect a lot of updates and features, but hopefully others might find it helpful.

Not quite.

- The 43% is peak drag reduction in the transition zone only, the bit between laminar and turbulent flow, not across all flight conditions.

- Aerodynamic drag is one part of fuel burn, not a 1:1 proxy. There's also engine efficiency, etc.

- This is skin friction drag on a wind tunnel model, not a full aircraft which has extra bits like windscreen wipers.

I still think it's exciting but I reckon fuel savings would amount to a few percent (aeronautical engineers, please correct me if I'm wrong).

Ménière Memo, a web app for logging and reviewing Ménière's Disease episodes:

https://menierememo.com/

Intended for an audience of one so still a bit rough around the edges, but the intended audience said “excellent” and is actually using it.

Mostly AI-built. Source code is here:

Re:A Powerful New 'QR Code' Untangles Math's Knottiest Knots on Saturday April 25, 2026 @08:17AM (#47900839)
The knot codes are beautiful but the ones in the article all seem to be repeating patterns, so I wonder if you could take a 60° slice of each one and save space without losing information.
