expo-builder
Build Expo/React Native apps in ephemeral Tart VMs remotely.
What it does
Build Expo/React Native apps in ephemeral Tart VMs on a remote Mac — from any OS (Windows, macOS, or Linux), over SSH. Every build gets a fresh macOS VM clone with Xcode and all dependencies pre-installed. No dependency drift, no stale caches, no Homebrew conflicts. When the build finishes, the VM is deleted. Also supports EAS Cloud builds, store submission, OTA updates, and local device installs — through one CLI.

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.
