GptSkin

What it does

GptSkin turns any image into a coordinated theme for the Codex desktop app—backgrounds, surfaces, accents, syntax colors, and readable contrast. Start with six free presets or create a custom theme, then install it with the open-source GptSkin Skill.

Turn your image—or a visual created in Codex from your prompt—into a complete Codex desktop theme with the open-source GptSkin Skill for macOS and Windows.

Attach an image you own—or describe a visual and let Codex create it with your OpenAI account. The open-source GptSkin Skill translates the finished image into a complete, locally applied theme for the Codex desktop app. No CSS editing. No Codex files modified. Reversible in one command. From a plain Codex window to a workspace that feels like yours. One command adds the open-source GptSkin skill to Codex. Free presets work instantly — no account, no setup. Create a visual in Codex with your own OpenAI account, or attach any image you own. GptSkin compiles the theme from the finished image. The Skill applies the theme locally over a loopback-only connection. Restore the default look anytime…from gptskin.best

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  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…
