Shoutout to Kulinsky

Lawrence Kulinsky I love you

Well written but limited.

This is a nice little app and does what it says on the tin. It would be good if the author was considering developing it further. Maybe allowing the user to choose the cranks and con' rod lengths. A slider-crank option would also be useful.

Easy to use, easy to learn.

Excellent Job

Very clever for an individual to develop, that works as advertised & the UI is decent. It is not a toy but rather an assist in the design of 4 link mechanisms, where the math can be computed in seconds. Thank You!

Good start

Reminds me of Kinsyn kinematics.
Needs more limitation options like user defined link lengths. Current solutions are too random.
