This is a free online app to find gear sequences for a given transmission ratio.
Features
- Specify a list of available gears
- Exact and approximate search
- Exclude connections that can't be easily built with real parts
- Supply fixed gear sequences at the start and end of the generated sequence
- Visual representation of the generated gear sequence with animations
- If the target ratio contains prime factors that are not present in the avaialbe gears, the app will show solutions that include differential gears. Otherwise, no exact solution would be possible
- Sequence editor to calculate transmission ratios for user defined gear sequences
- Fit gears tool that shows possible ways to connect a given pair of gears

You need to have TypeScript installed.
In the project root, run tsc.
This should run without errors and create the file app.js.
You need a webserver that locally serves the files from the project directory.
If you have python installed, you can call python3 -m http.server.
It will tell you the port, for example 8000, and you can visit http://localhost:8000 in your browser.
Alternatively, you can install http-server, which will also create a server in port 8000.
If you work on the code, run tsc --watch, which will recompile everytime you change a source file.
