Branchline
GitLens Pro's commit graph, unlocked for private repos
What it does
Branchline brings GitLens' Commit Graph and Visual File History to private repos, the two views GitLens paywalls behind Pro the moment a repo isn't public. What you get: a visual commit graph with branch and tag labels and a live row for uncommitted changes, a per-file history view with diffs that follows renames, and the ability to open any file exactly as it looked at any past commit. 14-day free trial, then a one-time $15 license. No subscription
Extension for Visual Studio Code - Interactive commit graph and per-file history for private Git repos — no subscription required.
An interactive commit graph and per-file history viewer for VS Code — the two features GitLens paywalls behind GitLens Pro the moment you're working in a private repository. This extension does just those two things, works entirely on your local git checkout, and never talks to a server. GitLens' Commit Graph and Visual File History are free — only on public repos. The instant you open a private repository (which, if you're doing paid work, is most of them), both features lock behind a GitLens Pro subscription. This extension is those same two views, unlocked for private repos, for a one-time price instead of a recurring one. No account, no telemetry, no network calls.

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.
