How will the Aug 12 eclipse look like from your address?
August 12 is a total solar eclipse over Iceland and northern Spain and partially across Europe. In France it'll be visible over 90% (~92% in Paris at 8:17pm). I wanted to know if I can view it and from where (with proper protecting glasses of course :). I built a site to help see it: you type your address (in France only for now, there's a default address you can click on to try it) and it shows you how it'll look like. You can also see the details of the eclipse for multiple cities. Try it here: https://eclipse2026times.com/ Basically, using IGN's open data…

What it does
Live countdown, an interactive path map, and exact local times for the August 12, 2026 total solar eclipse, visible across Europe, North Africa and the North Atlantic, from Reykjavik and Spain
Visible across Europe, North Africa and the North Atlantic, find exact times for your city below. Totality first reaches Iceland at 17:48 GMT, then Spain about 2h40m later. Enter your address for a live 3D simulation: the eclipse plays out over the real buildings around you, at their real sizes from public mapping data, opening at the lowest floor with a clear view of the Sun. Totality crosses northern Spain at sunset with the Sun only a few degrees up, which is exactly when whether something is in the way decides what you actually see. Type an address above and the eclipse plays out in 3D from that exact spot, real building footprints from public mapping data, the Sun on its real path…from eclipse2026times.com

Clipto MCP▲655Hey 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…

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…
