Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link Marian's Blog for a Lego-compatible part design tool and a gear ratio calculator used for Lego projects. One commenter called the calculator great and useful for a Lego orrery.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
