I built this website to host a data-driven model of my coffee sample roaster. I realized after 20 or so batches on the machine that while the controls are intuitive (heat, fan, and drum speeds), the physics can be unintuitive. I wanted to use my historical roast data to create and tune a model that I could use to do roast planning, control, and to help me build my own intuition for roasting. This website lets you interact with my roaster in a virtual, risk-free setting! The models are custom Machine Learning modules that honor roaster physics and bean physics (this is not…

It’s available on iOS now: https://itunes.apple.com/app/id6499280064 We got into specialty coffee during COVID and, like many others, fell deep down the rabbit hole. Along the way, we ran into the same frustrations: - A drawer full of empty coffee bags. - No simple way to track grind size, rest dates, notes—by bean. - My coffee history scattered across photos, screenshots, notebooks, and half-memories. - The unique traits, people, and stories behind each coffee disappearing from the internet once it sold out (since coffee is an agricultural good) - In our opinion, no…

Hi HN! I've been deep in the specialty coffee rabbit hole for a few years and built this tool to help me dial in espresso and pourover more systematically. *What it does:* • Extraction Compass – click where your shot lands (sour/bitter × weak/strong), get diagnosis and adjustments. It factors in your bean's origin, processing method, roast level, and variety. • Pourover recipes from Hoffmann, Rao, Hedrick, Kasuya (4:6) with step-by-step timer. Water amounts auto-calculate based on your dose. • Interactive WCR Flavor Wheel based on the World Coffee Research Sensory Lexicon 2.0.…

Hi HN! We built RoastDB (https://roastdb.com) – think Discogs for specialty coffee. A searchable index of beans from independent roasters around the world. *The problem* We got into specialty coffee gradually. Whenever we tried something we liked — a washed Colombian, a natural Ethiopian — we'd save the bag. At some point we had drawers of empty coffee bags we couldn't bring ourselves to throw away. Our flow was simple: go to a cafe we liked, drink coffee, buy a bag of whatever they were roasting or stocking. Over time we started noticing patterns — we kept reaching for naturals,…

Hi HN! I've found this visualization tool immensely helpful over the years for getting an intuition for how an LLM "sees" some piece of text, and with a bit of elbow grease decided to move all compute to client side so I could make it publicly available. I've found it particularly useful for - Understanding exactly how repetition and patterns affect a small LM's ability to predict correctly - Understanding different tokenization patterns and how it affects model output - Getting a general sense of how "hard" different prediction tasks are for GPT-style models Known problems (that I probably…

Last weekend, I tried creating an original visualization of something on many minds in my home country the Netherlands: land use. Much of our discussion revolves around land use—housing crisis, sustainable farming, solar energy—it's all about the land. To illustrate this, I created a map where each hexagon represents 0.06% (26,647 hectares) of land in the Netherlands. The color indicates the type of land use.
