AlignMate

Run one-week experiments on yourself, not habits

What it does

Most habit apps assume you'll show up every day forever. AlignMate assumes you'll quit by day 3, because that's what actually happens, and treats it as data instead of failure. You tell it what the scroll is costing you (sleep, focus) and the AI designs a small 7-day experiment, like "phone charges outside the bedroom after 9pm". You log each day, misses included. At the end of the week you know something real about yourself, and the next experiment adjusts to what the data showed.

AlignMate is a productivity app that turns your goals into small, low-pressure experiments you can learn from and improve over time.

Pick one small experiment. Log it in a single tap each day. Learn what actually works for you — no pressure to be perfect. Pick one small experiment. Log it in a single tap each day. Learn what actually works for you — no pressure to be perfect. Many people fail not because they are lazy, but because they follow systems that demand perfection, forever-commitment, rigid routines, and guilt when they miss a day.

Growth is not about forcing the same system forever. It is about testing, learning, and adjusting as you go. Growth…from alignmateapp.com

    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/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.
