Which one did you find that on? I couldn't make OP's contribution work.

Uhhh.... Why? I have 128 GB of storage on my phone, I can just put my whole music library on it, so why stream it from my computer...?
For me the whole point of Spotify or other online music services is discovering new stuff and being able to listen to songs I haven't downloaded yet.
I see you put a lot of work into this app, but I struggle to think of anyone that could sensibly make use of it, maybe except for people with absolutely massive libraries.

Hey man thanks for the comment! I would really appreciate it if you could also star MonoBox's repo ⭐

I remember an app on my Dell Streak used to do this. Of course that was 3g so didn't work to great.

About 40 years ago someone taught me the Sailor Wing Plane and it's been the only plane I make. Super impressive to see. It says "expert" but after a few tries it becomes super easy.

When I was in third grade I caught Swine Flu, and was in quarantine for a week before I could go back to school. I asked my mom to buy me some paper because I was super into origami at that time too. So, I spent that week folding all kinds of paper airplanes to see what worked and what didn’t and eventually created what I always considered the ultimate paper airplane.
It has a really simple process to make it, but I’ve never seen anybody else make it or see anything about it online. It flys straight, far, and gracefully. It even won me a competition back in 6th grade. I’ve never given it a name, but I’m thinking maybe I should now lol.
It’s a bit front heavy and has a nose that hooks slightly downward, while still maintaining that classic paper airplane style. So if that rings any bells, let me know.
Sorry for the novel, I saw everyone sharing their stories and figured since it almost never comes up in conversation now that I’m an adult, I could share the story with you guys!

I love this website! I teach Art and with grade 5 I have a paper airplane flying and design competition each year. I suggest this site for them as a resource.

I remember going to the library as a little kid for some reason preoccupied with finding a book on paper airplanes. The poor librarian tried so hard to help me. THIS IS THE FUTURE

Basically the nose folded into a sort of diamond, folded in half to make a long triangle, then you just fold/tape both ends together like a hoop

Anyone aware of a design that folds the nose into itself like a hoop? Found it in a book from like the mid-2000's but could never find it again

If you are a teacher, look in the Lounge section of the website for a pre-made lesson plan that uses paper airplanes to teach aerodynamics :)

These paper airplanes were designed for letter-sized paper (8.5"x11"), but many will work just fine with A4 paper. Or, you can trim 2cm off the bottom of your A4 paper, and now it will be the same relative dimensions as letter paper and any design will work.

What they call the “Raven” is the best one I’ve ever made or thrown. You can adjust the lift by bending the nose up, bending the folded end in the back up, or both.
At school we’d make them from some kind of heavy paper stock (not construction paper though) and then take them outside and throw them forward and up, against the wind, as hard as we could.
They’d gain lots of altitude and then glide and glide and glide.

I found these about this time last year at the canadian tire checkout line, with the impulse purchases.
Got a bunch for my family as a nostalgia thing. The dentist used to give us this as kids if we were good and sat still. Or rubber bouncy balls

Hi everyone! I built and run Fold'NFly. Very happy to see my website get so many upvotes and positive comments :)
I started this website nearly 10 years ago because I was making paper airplanes with my kids and could not find any good online resources. Over the years, I've slowly added new designs and activities to the website which are now used in classrooms, museums and homes around the world. It's been a very fun and rewarding project!
Happy to answers any questions here or do an r/ama if there is interest.

Omg the Buzz was my go-to paper plane. It was so easy to remember and it glided so we'll! I even used to throw this plane to play with my cat.

RadioGarden. It does depend on time zones of course, but I'm in N. America so I'm 8-10 hours behind most of Africa.
