fiveminutebriefJun 2026 · fiveminutebrief.ai · ▲6I was listening to a few daily news podcasts every morning to try to keep up with what's going on in the world. I built fiveminutebrief so I can now get my own daily 5-minute podcast episodes for any topic.

Create Custom Topics with a subscription. I would love any feedback!

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…
