What it does
Land somewhere new and you have no idea which apps work there. Is it Uber or Grab? Which payment app do locals use? Is WhatsApp the default, or LINE? Bento answers that for 101 countries: ride hailing, payments, messaging, navigation, transit, food delivery and more, hand reviewed per country. The useful part is what it rules OUT. It tells you when an app does not work somewhere, and flags gotchas like apps that need a local bank account or phone number. Free, no signup, 8 languages.
A curated directory of essential local apps organized by country for travelers. Know what to download before you land.

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

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…
