36 Frames

An analogue film camera for your phone

What it does

36 Frames, a film camera for your iPhone. One roll, 36 frames, no preview, no retakes. Send the roll to the lab and wait. Manual or auto focus. Optional viewfinder grid and level indicator.

above carries the accessible name; a real alt here would have a screen reader say it twice. --> 36 Frames is a film camera for your iPhone. One roll, thirty-six frames, no preview and no retakes. You can’t see a single shot until the roll is developed. When the roll is full, you send it to the lab and wait. One day the envelope comes back. You flip through the contact sheet and keep the good ones. That’s the whole idea. Nothing you shoot can be viewed until the roll is developed. Not previewed, not reviewed, not recovered. No screen to chimp at, no deleting the bad ones on the spot. You shoot, you trust it, you wait. Two speeds. Express comes back in about an hour. Standard…from 36frames.app

  • Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes&#x2F;sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
