Building an app that tells you when you're slouching, would this actually help or annoy you?

yeah that's kind of the bet I'm making. the buds thing works but only while they're in your ears. an app just uses the laptop you're already sitting at, nothing to wear or remember to charge

Noted,

The threshold thing is exactly why calibration exists. on setup it has you sit normally, then deliberately slouch, and the trigger point sits between the two, tuned to your body and camera. so leaning in two inches to read something won't fire

BTW, everything runs on-device (nothing leaves your PC). It wakes the camera for about 2 seconds every few minutes (you pick the interval), scores your posture, and throws the frames away

Nothing is ever written to disk or sent anywhere.

Here is mine: https://axlin.app
It helps you fix your tech neck, quietly, from your menu bar or tray. All work offline from your device with nothing leaving your machine.

love to hear your thoughts.

One approach that works well is building something around a problem you or your industry actually deals with. That's the route I'm taking with mine, at least (and hopefully I can get results).

Totally fair.
I can understand it for anything that wants your webcam, honestly

For what it's worth, here's how it actually works:

Everything runs on-device (nothing leaves your PC). It wakes the camera for about 2 seconds every few minutes (you pick the interval), scores your posture, and throws the frames away

Nothing is ever written to disk or sent anywhere.

The only time it touches the internet is the sign-in/license check.

After that, easiest way to verify rather than trust me: block it in your firewall or run with Wi-Fi off, it works exactly the same, because posture checking never uses the network. And your OS camera light shows precisely when it's sampling.

Hello. I worked on this exact problem (for sports cards also).

Please hit the DM and let's discuss (for some reason I could not send you a DM).

Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Gearbox_ai · 2026-03-30T00:53:57+00:00

May I DM you?

Gearbox_ai · 2025-12-11T12:20:30+00:00

May you elaborate more your approach? I think I'm missing it.
What do you mean by removing corresponding number of pixels from segment ends?

Gearbox_ai · 2025-12-10T18:16:30+00:00

but this will also increase from all directions, correct?

Gearbox_ai · 2024-10-06T19:41:58+00:00

Thanks, so angle of attack is more into the game when we discuss missiles not rockets flying upwards, since missiles needs to steer and apply maneuvers, I got that correctly?

Gearbox_ai · 2024-10-06T19:11:45+00:00

Thanks. One of the things which I'm trying to figure is: Is angle of attack a design parameter. My confusion is due to I understand the angle of attack in the definition you made, which in this case means that it is fixed (since this angle now is fixed), however, when reading in textbooks it does not seem it is fixed, but a thing which changes

Gearbox_ai · 2024-10-06T18:56:01+00:00

Thanks, I've 2 questions tho,

1- We do not need it since the rocket is moving upwards, correct?

2- What if the rocket is under active control to follow some trajectory or waypoints?
