What it does
Diem shows you one real historical event tied to today's date — but only the bright side: discovery, peace, culture, sport. No wars, no bad news, ever. Every event is written twice, in English and Croatian, not machine-translated. A Daily Challenge quiz ends your run on the first wrong answer, streak badges unlock new accent colors, and a home screen widget shows today's event without opening the app. Free to use, Pro unlocks the full calendar and extra colors.

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…
