Fsel –. a Rust TUI launcher, fuzzy picker and clipboard browser
fsel is a terminal app launcher for Linux/*BSD. It also has a dmenu-style mode for piping arbitrary input through it, and a clipboard-history mode with text and image previews, I started it because I started using otterlauncher and needed a tui app laucnher bc otterlauncher was tui, i looked around and nothing was up to par, then i found Gyr, it was the closest thing but it needed sum work so i add the things I needed, and it eventually grew into fsel. its evolved to be more than an app launcher, i use the normal launcher mode for desktop apps, but I also use --dmenu for shell scripts,…

fsel is a terminal app launcher for Linux/*BSD. It also has a dmenu-style mode for piping arbitrary input through it, and a clipboard-history mode with text and image previews, I started it because I started using otterlauncher and needed a tui app laucnher bc otterlauncher was tui, i looked around and nothing was up to par, then i found Gyr, it was the closest thing but it needed sum work so i add the things I needed, and it eventually grew into fsel. its evolved to be more than an app launcher, i use the normal launcher mode for desktop apps, but I also use --dmenu for shell scripts, and it has --cclip for clipboard picker. It can also output selections or app data to stdout/JSON, preserve original indices for scripts, preview clipboard images in supported terminals, and the UI/keybinds/layout are configurable. A lot of the work lately has been making those modes behave consistently across weird Linux/Wayland setups and cleaning up ux.

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.
