Thanks!. Let me work on this one

Hey HN
I built NumberMuseum because I love those moments when you discover that a completely ordinary looking number has an extraordinary story behind it.
I really liked the story of 1729, the famous Hardy Ramanujan number. Hardy visited Ramanujan in hospital and mentioned that his taxi number, 1729, seemed rather dull. Ramanujan immediately replied that it was actually very interesting: it is the smallest number that can be expressed as the sum of two positive cubes in two different ways.
I realized there are thousands of stories like this hiding inside numbers. So NumberMuseum is my attempt to collect them. It isn't meant to be a mathematics encyclopedia. Each number is treated more like a museum exhibit, with a story to tell. I'd especially love suggestions for numbers that deserve an exhibit. If there's a number with a great story behind it, drop it in the comments I will turn it into the next one.

I am working on Magnetron (https://magnetron.ai)
It is a tool that lets you create whiteboard explainers.
You can prompt it with an idea or upload a document and it will create a video with illustrations and voiceover. All the design and animations are done by using AI apis, you dont need any design skills.
Here is a video explainer of the popular "Attention is all you need" paper.

Magnetron.ai – Instantly Create Lead Magnets
I have been working on this tool to create lead magnets. Magnetron researches the web for your topic and creates a well crafted ebook as your lead magnet.
You can try it here (https://magnetron.ai)

Text files are amazing, and for when you need to structure data you can use sqlite.
I am using it for https://loadjitsu.io/ Still looking for a good solution to seamlessly sync local sqlite to cloud for backup when the user wants

I am working on Loadjitsu (https://loadjitsu.io)
It is a modern alternative to JMeter.
Have spent the last few months working on the current release.
It uses rust and Tauri under the hood.

I am working on app that I wrote initialy in electron, but now have moved away from it.I have perspectives on both good and bad sides of electron
The good parts
Low barrier to entry - if you know javascript you are good to good. No need to learn C++ or Java for building a desktop app.
Truly cross platform - any platforms that chromium supports, electron supports
A very active ecosystem - The community around electron is amazing. I am a big fan of electron.build, things like code signing / auto updates etc are provided out of the box
The not so good parts
IPC hell
Electron has a main process and renderer process and they communicate via events. I found myself swimming in the event soup very often.
Easy to make mistakes
This is more for a note for me or any beginner, but it is easy to write compute heavy code in the renderer and make the ui unresponsive or sluggish. There are many other things like this where it is easy to do things the wrong way.
Security
Electron still has a capable browser which can open any webpage. Mix that with native access and you have a remote code execution vulnerability on your hands.
Bloated binaries
Even the simplest of the electron binaries are large, thats just the nature of electron.

The app that I am working on is https://loadjitsu.com, I rewrote it using golang, couldnt be happier.

The most important reason i think is that the web has progressively become good enough for majority of the usecases. However there are still a few areas where good desktop apps are needed.
