GateProof

What it does

Event check-in that runs entirely on your own devices. No ticketing backend ever sees your guest list — attendee data stays on your phone, or your own iCloud if you turn on sync. No percentage fees, just prepaid credits. Works with or without internet.

Issue passes, scan at the door, and get an instant answer — with your attendee data staying on your devices, never on a ticketing company's cloud. No account, no percentage fees, works with or without internet. Double entries. Long lines. A clipboard, a group chat, and a spreadsheet that nobody trusts. The door is where small events look improvised — or look in control. From a blank screen to scanning guests at the door — five steps, one device. The whole point is that you reach a real VALID before you'd finish reading a setup guide. Paste names or import a CSV. Each gets a cryptographically signed pass. PDF, PNG, or QR — sent via the iOS share sheet. Guests need no app. Point at any QR.…from gateproof.app

  Scan QR codes to check in guests registered via Google Forms2023 · workspace.google.com · ▲115

  Hi HN! I made a no-code platform for creating physical data collection apps, using QR codes [1]. It does not yet have a self-service config UI though, which limits adoption. That's why I recently released a Google Forms™ add-on for QR code check-in, based on the platform. This focused use-case makes it easy to provide a fully self-service config UI. How it works: 1. Create your Google Form as you normally would [2] 2. Activate the add-on if you hadn't already [3] 3. Craft a confirmation email to be sent to each form responder Upon each form submission, the add-on will send a PDF with a…

  Clipto MCP▲655

  Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones▲627

  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…
