Helix: Athlete Recovery Tracker

What it does

Helix reads your Apple Health data and returns one recovery score every morning, a strain ceiling for the day, and fatigue tracked muscle by muscle. Bloodwork, VO2max testing and an AI coach on top.

Every system of your body — sleep, strain, recovery, strength, blood — measured, connected, and turned into your next move. The complete engine for an athlete.

Recovery, strain, sleep and blood. Every system of your body, read as one. Every tracker floods you with data. Helix turns yours into a single, clear move, every morning. Helix knows which, the moment you wake, from the inside out. Measured against your own 60-day baseline, never a population average. Strain is a percentage of what your body can handle today, built from heart rate alone. A slow, heavy lift barely moves it. And a rest day finally reads like a rest day, not a number you earned by existing. Helix reads the depth and quality of every night: your stages, your regularity, and the ideal window to fall asleep. Then it turns it all into tomorrow’s readiness. Wear your Apple Watch…from projecthelix.app

  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…
