Show HN: Item Size Comparison Tool - Visualize and Compare Sizes Easily

While checking out the new Remarkable reader, I wanted to compare sizes against other readers.

I could not find a simple, non-bloated app that helped.

So I built one, together with Aider (Sonnett 3.5 and Deepseek models).

You can add items with different sizes, get a visual comparison and even share the results (as URL). It's not optimized for mobile device usage, works nicely on Desktop only, I guess.

Maybe that's a small app that has use cases (like when looking for a new mobile phone). I'm also sharing my log of pairing with the AI companion Aider.

Use it: https://minthemiddle.github.io/compare-sizes/ Repo: https://github.com/minthemiddle/compare-sizes History of pairing with Aider: https://aider.chat/share/?mdurl=https://gist.github.com/mint... (I lost quite some progress in the middle due to some strange Git commits that I could not revert properly)
