DockDuck

The native macOS file manager Finder should be

What it does

DockDuck is the native macOS file manager Finder should be — fast, beautiful, and 100% Swift. Tabs, dual-pane, a pinned Start dashboard, tags, instant search, batch rename, and connect to servers(SFTP/SMB) — all in one window that opens the moment you click. Pay once, no subscription. Your files never leave your Mac.

DockDuck is a fast, native macOS file manager: tabs, pinned files, tags, and instant search, all in one window that opens the moment you click. Built entirely in Swift, with none of the weight.

    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.
