Joy

What it does

Joy is a macOS menu bar app that throws confetti the moment you hit a milestone - GitHub stars, Stripe sales, Docker Hub pulls, and more. Celebrate every win automatically.

Joy lives in your menu bar and watches your GitHub stars, Stripe sales, and Docker Hub pulls - then throws a party when something great happens. Joy quietly watches the platforms you already use, then celebrates the moment something moves. GitHub stars, forks, and releases. Stripe sales. Docker Hub pulls and stars. Lemon Squeezy sales. All monitored automatically. When a milestone hits, confetti bursts right from your menu bar - no tab-switching, no missed wins. Every celebration is logged in a running highlight reel, so momentum is never invisible. Zero dock clutter. Joy sits quietly at the top of your screen, ready the moment it matters. Pick what to watch, choose how it looks, and set…from joy.jawahar.sh

  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…
