What it does

Building solo and not sure what to build? Idea Miner distills recurring demand signals from public outsourcing tasks with posted budgets, tracking mention frequency, ranking trends, and regional distribution weekly/monthly to help discover potential software demand without guessing.

Writing code isn't the hardest part — the hardest part is spending months on something nobody wants. Idea Miner distills recurring common demands from public outsourcing tasks with posted budgets, tracking mention frequency, median posted budget, and trends to help developers discover potential software opportunities (note: posted budgets do not equal completed transactions or payments). Not yet verified： Bitbucket Cloud execution, registry push and deployment remain untested. Not yet verified： Three synthetic documents cannot establish accuracy on customer files or willingness to pay. Not yet verified： The tested checks do not establish fraud resistance; why such tasks keep being posted…from idea-miner.com

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…
