Show HN: Web page that parses and explains the label on a bike tire
History: Last year I had to replace the tire on my bike, and I was surprised how difficult it was to find a suitable new tire. There were a lot of numbers written on the casing, so I googled what they meant. In the end I was successful, but I didn't want to do the same work again for the next bike after I've forgotten the details. So I wrote this website.<p>Technically, the web page is kept very simple, no frameworks, no templates, no website builder. It uses HTML5, CSS and JavaScript, and it privides a responsive layout for mobile usage.<p>I'm happy to receive feedback. If you have tried the label of your bike tire, and it doesn't work, please post it as well. Thanks!

Show HN: Jig – Live coding your business dashboards (now with demo video)
Hi again HN,<p>Last month I posted this Show HN [0], which was well received but most comments were by people asking for a demo / video / docs, because the install step was too much a barrier for entry. So here it is updated with video and (partial) documentation. I really wish I can get people's feedback on the tool itself.<p>About Jig:<p>Jig is a live coding environment to quickly create interactive business dashboards / small internal apps.<p>My target customers are growing startups who spend too much time in Excel/Google Sheets to create their growth reports / retention charts / ad hoc analyses, while they have the coding expertise to compute metrics with a proper programming language.<p>The language is Javascript, but you don't need to know any html/css/d3 for charts or tables, cause all that part's taken care of. Connecting to databases and or APIs is also straightforward, so all you need to write is code that transform your data in the way you want to present it.<p>It's meant to be light and nimble (no server / no database needed) and it runs on your computer.<p>Sorry for those who've seen this before, I won't repost soon.<p>[0] <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29655974" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29655974</a>

Show HN: Encycla – like GitHub for knowledge
Hi HN! There's been lots of note-taking / personal knowledge tools developed in the past few years. But there's a big difference between working with people you already know and collaborating with anyone on the internet.<p>Right now, if you're interested in, say DIY air purifiers[1], you could throw up a document or webpage. But there's no good way for people you don't already know to work on it, to make it their own. If you're writing software, the answer is obvious: publish a Git repository on GitHub/GitLab.<p>With Encycla, we're building a sort of "GitHub for knowledge": a place where you can create simple, topical webpages that others can fork and asynchronously push & pull changes from (without knowing about Git or anything technical).<p>On the backend, every page on Encycla is a git repository containing Markdown that you can clone, edit independently of the Encycla website, push to other services (such as GitHub, GitLab), etc.<p>For instance, here's a page on Encycla:<p><a href="https://encycla.com/KF94" rel="nofollow">https://encycla.com/KF94</a><p>and the underlying git repository pushed to GitHub:<p><a href="https://github.com/philipn/KF94" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/philipn/KF94</a><p>1. <a href="https://encycla.com/Corsi-Rosenthal_Cube" rel="nofollow">https://encycla.com/Corsi-Rosenthal_Cube</a>
