Dashi – a 214KB Chrome new tab dashboard with no servers or analytics
I built out this dashboard for my own use since I was getting sick and tired of constantly checking multiple apps when all I really need is a quick glance. As more and more use-cases sprung up, I kept adding new features and it grew to what it is now. I find it very useful and thought I should share it. dashi is a widget dashboard on your new tab. Currently 17 widgets... notes, to-dos, history, weather, world clocks, countdowns, pomodoro, and much more. Drag wherever you want across as many pages as you like, with a separate layout remembered for each screen size you use. Three things I…

What it does
A customizable Chrome new tab dashboard: notes, to-dos, weather, world clock, habits, countdowns, reading list and more. Everything stays on your device. Free, no account.
dashi is a Chrome extension for your computer. The live demo needs a bigger screen — the widget tour below works fine right here. One bar for the web, your board, and your widgets. It arrives in the next update — everything below already works in the demo above. Opens search from anywhere on the board — or straight from a new tab with a browser shortcut. Completes a site. Type "youtube", press Tab, and the search runs on YouTube — Amazon and Google Maps too. Type a widget’s name to add it to the board — or jump straight to it if it’s already there. Closes it. While you’re off the record, nothing you search is remembered. Google’s search operators as a plain-English list — “Only this…from trydashi.app

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.

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.
