Turn your family's stories into a bilingual keepsake book

What it does

Shide (拾得 Ensō) is a local-first, bilingual (Chinese–English) memory app for overseas Chinese families. Record your years and your parents' stories; Shide keeps the original Chinese, adds an English reading layer and the era context of each year, and composes an in-phone keepsake book you can export as a PDF. No account, no cloud upload — your family's stories stay on your phone.

Ensō Shide is the cultural coordinate of the Chinese world since 1980 — Heritage · Innovation. 4000+ cultural coordinates, 10 original soundtracks by Shen Shi, Eastern chrono-archaeology novel Nine Attestations, YouTube Shorts, and private on-device AI heirloom books.

    I built a tool to translate and declutter articles for my immigrant momFeb 2026 · dulink.click · ▲6

    Hello HN, I built DuLink to solve a personal problem: my primary language is English, but my mother’s primary language is Mandarin Chinese. I often find articles on health or current events that I want to share with her, but the friction of copy/pasting and Google Translate meant she rarely read them. What it does: DuLink takes an article URL, extracts the core content to strip out clutter, and then generates a static, translated reading view. It preserves the semantic HTML structure (headers, lists) but removes the original site's JS and ad tracking. The "Why": Existing tools either…

    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.
