Imagine my surprise when I'm reading down the HN list like I do every day and I stumble upon my own website. Thats a pretty cool feeling! Im happy to answer any questions people may have. This was my Angular learning project back when Angular just came out. I think Angular ended up being the wrong choice for this project, but it works and I learned Angular, so its all good.

I wonder, I wonder wether producthunt will love this too...

#73Since this is going to be a great pass time for geekids, wanted to throw in a few resources for completeness: Windtunnel to test: https://www.instructables.com/id/Paper-aeroplane-wind-tunnel... Project form: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project... Another page with slightly different features: https://www.origamiway.com/paper-airplanes.shtml
I thought this was a fantastic eggcorn[1], until I realized that it is the actualy origin of the word 'pastime'. So, it sort of is, but isn't at the same time.

I remember the frustration as kid getting a book of designs from the US and having none of them work quite right.

#77Earlier quoted context omitted.
I did the same in elementary school, I made my own plane design after many iterations of a/b testing. It won pretty much every airplane contest. No tape, pennies, or paperclips needed, they actually reduced the overall distance if the center of mass was too close to the tip. When thrown you had to keep the wings folded down unlike a traditional plane. Basically I made a dart. You didn't have to be good at throwing ei…
I'm interested! Maybe you could document it (drawing, video, whatever)?

I've been searching the internet for a website that ranks paper planes both difficulty AND purpose. You just saved me a lot of time. On behalf of the girls in my club: thank you!

#80I wonder if anyone has attempted to use machine learning to try and build a better paper airplane. I feel like that would be super interesting.
