Play four checkers variants online, solve 100 puzzles, and learn with a Coach that grades every move.

Play four world variants, compete online, and learn from a Coach that grades the move while the position is still on screen. Coach runs in games against the computer. The engine compares your move with its strongest choice, then names the tactical reason when it finds one. Each move receives a clear grade. Forced moves stay Best, and the game keeps its rhythm. Coach calls out a hanging piece, missed multi-capture or promotion left behind when the position supports it. Recoverable mistakes and blunders can receive a free take-back before the idea goes cold. Coach is the learning layer. Online play, four rulesets, eight bots, puzzles and lessons make it a game you can keepfrom checkers.tepoyan.com

    I've been playing chess for a few years with my ELO stuck around 1600 on Lichess. I wanted an app that combined puzzle training, interactive lessons, game analysis, and AI coaching in one place. But all the apps I used over the years either felt overwhelming, had UX that wasn't up to my expectations for a modern app or were lacking some fundamental features that I really wanted. So, I built LearnChess.ai. The technical angle I'm most excited about: it's built local-first using LiveStore (event-sourced, SQLite on-device), which means zero loading delays for user data and full offline support.…

  • Hey 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…
