Aurachat

This is a video chatting app

What it does

Random video chat hasn’t evolved since 2014. It’s the same outdated UIs, endless "searching" wheels, and the agonizingly awkward silence when you finally connect with a stranger. We built AuraChat to feel less like a sterile waiting room and more like a multiplayer game. From the moment you initialize the neural link, you are immersed in a 60fps biorganic UI designed to kill the "cold start" problem of human interaction.

    I built a fun video meeting app with 2D physics and proximity chat2022 · flat.social · ▲166

    Hi HN! https://flat.social is a web video meeting app for organising fun online meetings & social events. Each participant can move around and talk with others in their proximity. Here is a quick demo if you wanna see it in action: https://youtu.be/Y2yH3twjrx4 I’ve been on it solo for around a year right now. Tech used is Next.js, Typescript, PIXI.js on the front-end and Node, Mediasoup, Socket.io and Matter.js (physics engine) on the backend. Feel free to jump in into the demo room (https://flat.social/f/Flat.Social-Demo) to say hi, I’ll be…

    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!

    Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
