What it does
Cash Cage tracks every buy-in and cash-out at your home poker game, then works out who pays who. A MILP solver finds the fewest transfers that square the whole table, or you can name a banker and have everyone settle through one person. Save each regular with their Venmo, Cash App, PayPal, Apple Cash, or Zelle handle, pick the night's rounding, and share a summary where every payment already has a handle attached
Track poker buy-ins and cash-outs, settle the table in the fewest payments, and get paid — everyone
Cash Cage tracks every buy-in and cash-out, then squares the whole table from player-to-player in the fewest transfers or through one banker. Put everyone’s Venmo, Cash App, PayPal, or Zelle handle right in the sharable summary. Direct settles player-to-player in the fewest transfers using math, not a naive everyone-pays-everyone split and no overly complex AI. Or name a banker and the whole table pays out like in a real table. Every player sets how they get paid with Venmo, Cash App, PayPal, Apple Cash, Zelle, or cash. Pay from the app or share the summary Pick the night’s rounding preference from $1 to $50 (or exact) and settlements come out in amounts people can actually hand…from heagenb03.github.io

Allocate poker chips optimally with mixed-integer nonlinear programming2024 · github.com · ▲213Every time I play a casual cash poker game with friends, we spend the first several minutes struggling to figure out chip denominations. I built this to automate that process. Try it out here (the submitted link goes to the GitHub repo): https://jstrieb.github.io/poker-chipper/ It turns out that picking chip denominations optimally—such that as many chips are distributed as possible, and such that the denominations are nice—is hard (in the computational complexity sense). Upon reflection, the problem seemed to be a perfect fit for constrained optimization. I first got a…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

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…
