Droptick

What it does

Droptick sells one promoted link a week: the price opens at €10,000 every Monday 08:00 Berlin and falls along a hidden curve until someone takes it. Monday it resets. The mechanic is not new This is a descending auction — the price starts above what anyone will pay and comes down until a buyer stops it. Dutch flower markets have sold this way for over a century: the clock at Aalsmeer runs down, and the first buyer to press the button gets the lot.

Droptick sells one promoted link a week: the price opens at €10,000 every Monday 08:00 Berlin and falls along a hidden curve until someone takes it. Monday it resets.

The price is shown only to someone with a link to put in the slot. Nothing is charged until you finish checkout on Stripe. Nothing has finished yet. Every week that ran shows up here from the Monday after — who held the link, what they paid, and how many clicks it delivered. The only link on droptick.io, from payment until Monday 08:00 Berlin. Businesses only, invoice included, listings reviewed. The link is marked “ Sponsored ” and there is no ranking for it to influence. Categories are the label a buyer picks for their link, nothingfrom droptick.io

  Clipto MCP▲655

  Hey 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. 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…
