Cronus

What it does

Cronus is local-first durable execution infrastructure for AI agents. Run background jobs, DAG workflows and schedules with checkpoints, retries, leases, recovery, dead letters and approval gates. Work can survive agent, worker and process restarts instead of disappearing with the session. Cronus runs locally on Windows and Linux and connects to AI clients through MCP over stdio, with local REST and gRPC interfaces.

Durable background execution for AI agents - jobs, DAG workflows, scheduling, recovery and MCP. Signed releases, one-line install. Free tier. - titans-tools/Cronus

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…

  Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones▲627

  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…
