I fear my tasks
Task lists are flat. The way I think about my tasks is more like they sit in space. So I made an experiment. My first ever task tool. Tasks are cardboard boxes on the floor of a room, with the title written on them in marker. Click to grab one, drop it on the desk, and its clock starts. Take it off, the clock stops. Time accrues per box forever. No sign-up needed to try it out Sign in with Google if you want a room that persists. Open question I keep going back and forth on: should the desk hold exactly one box? Curious what you'd want.
What it does
A task manager for people who think in pictures. Your tasks are boxes in a room you walk around: size means weight, the desk is the timer, and the fears that stop you are objects you can name.
Task Room is a different kind of task manager — a room you walk around in, where every task is a box you can pick up. Built for people who think in pictures. This is the real app, running right here — nothing you do in it is saved. Something you'd want in your room? DM me on X — I read all of them. Every task app is a table with better fonts. This one is built the way you actually hold work in your head. Not a row you scroll past — a box you walk up to. Big job, big box. What's near the desk is what's next; the pile in the corner is visibly a pile. You already remember where things are. This uses that. A table pretends every row is equal. You know better — some of these you'd do right now,…from taskroom.autobirds.com

- IMI made a better interface for Google Tasks and I can't go back2011 · gtasker.com · ▲122
I recently decided to try out Google Tasks as my only task management system, and while I find some things about the interface great, it really isn't suited for someone like me who has multiple lists with lots of elements on each. So, I whipped this together real fast and I can't imagine using Google Tasks without it anymore. I realized you might want it too, so I put it on the web. Enjoy :)

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.
