EasyNotes — pocket notebook for browser

A pocket notebook that lives in your browser toolbar

What it does

Open it, type a line, hit Enter. That's the whole thing. EasyNotes never asks which folder, tag, or project a thought belongs to — the cursor's already waiting. Unlimited notes, pages, search across all of them, and honest sync that never claims more than it can prove.

A browser extension that opens on a keystroke, takes a line of text, and gets out of the way. Unlimited notes, pages, cross-page search, and honest syncing across your devices.

Most note tools ask you something before they let you write: which notebook, which tag, which project. EasyNotes asks nothing. The page is already open, the cursor is already in the line, and one keystroke files the thought away. One shortcut opens it with the cursor already in the line. Adding a note never asks which page it belongs to. Local storage is the source of truth, so the notebook is unlimited. A note is never refused, ever. Results come from every page at once, each tagged with where it lives — because you don't remember where you put it. Up to fifty, opt-in. One is always open, so structure is a thing you reach for, never a form you fill in. No account, no server, no telemetry.…from 0xnikshi.github.io

    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.
