Where shipping with AI isn't something to defend

Visit site ↗Alternativestop 25% of August 2026

What it does

A free community for people who build real products with AI. Post what you shipped with Cursor, Claude or Lovable without the eye-rolling. Here that's just how people build. What stands out: • No ads, no paywall, no premium tier. Nothing is gated. • Find collaborators and mentors by what they build, not by follower count. • Jobs where the salary range and stack are required, not optional. • Free tools, no signup wall including a closed-testing tracker. Early and small on purpose.

    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…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
