Floodtide checks your Mac apps through Sparkle, Homebrew, GitHub and more, then updates the ones you choose. £10.99 once for 3 Macs, and you never have to subscribe.
Floodtide is a Mac app updater. It reads each app's own update source: Sparkle appcasts, Homebrew casks, GitHub Releases, Electron feeds and its own signed catalog. It brings the supported apps current in a single pass, names the ones another updater owns, and clearly labels everything it cannot update safely. Built for the people MacUpdater left behind. Requires macOS 13 or later. Buy it outright, and you never have to subscribe. Coming from MacUpdater? Read how Floodtide replaces it . The beta is signed and notarised, so it opens on a normal double-click. Installing Floodtide has the checksum. MacUpdater maintained exact version information for more than 100,000 apps and direct updates…from bhopstudio.com

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.
