AURA — Facial Analysis for YouTube

What it does

AURA overlays real-time facial analysis on any YouTube video — 468 landmarks, FACS Action Units, expressions and microexpressions — running 100% on-device via Google MediaPipe. No uploads, no account, no tracking. It's honest about its limits: it is NOT a lie detector (facial deception detection is unreliable), so that part is clearly labeled non-diagnostic. Free, no ads.

  Effects SDKJul 2026 · effectssdk.ai · ▲322

  The effect renders a 3D avatar model on top of the user's face. Tracks one face at a time. It uses MediaPipe's GPU delegate (WebGL2) when available, with automatic fallback to a WASM CPU delegate. MediaPipe's FaceLandmarker runs inside a Web Worker that the SDK spawns. The worker dynamically imports MediaPipe, its WASM, and the 3D model. The avatar requirements: a 3D mesh with Apple ARKit Facial Blendshapes in GLB file format. I welcome everyone who tries it and posts a feedback here!

  faces.io – ridiculously simple video chat2014 · ▲40

  This is something fun I’ve been hacking on recently: ridiculously simple group chat. Go to http://faces.io and then get your friends to do the same. That’s it! :-D Currently works best in Chrome. It’s definitely beta status at best. Audio can get weird—be ready to mute. ;-) Let me know what you think!

  Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481

  Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  Performative-UI – A react component library of design tropes▲1,181

  Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
