Show HN: Simple tool to hang your art at museum height
I recently found out about a concept called &#x27;Museum Height&#x27; for hanging art, where the center-line of a piece or a group of pieces is at 57 inches (144cm), which is average eye level. I love the effect, but I hate doing all the measurement and math to make sure that I&#x27;m putting the nail at the right height. This made it so I&#x27;d always delay hanging art on my walls.<p>I started with a spreadsheet and some formulas, but kept feeling the itch to make an app. Welp, here it is! It&#x27;s super simple, and I wrote it as a literal single html page app with jquery out of nostalgia for simpler times. The code is awful, but it was fun to write and unlike a lot of modern frameworks I think this page will work even as the sun consumes the earth. Bonus: All state is stored in the URL so you can send others your measurements easily.<p>Please let me know what you think and if it helped you hang that piece of art that&#x27;s been sitting on the floor for way too long!
