From the sources
KidScreen turns selected YouTube videos into a private shelf for your child. Parents add only the videos they approve; children get a simple screen with no search or endless feed. It is free, with separate profiles and device sign-in for each child.
No scroll. No algorithm. Free forever. Add the exact YouTube videos you approve and give your child a focused shelf with no search. Watch how it works I made KidScreen for my two daughters. They each have their own iPad, and I wanted them to have separate video shelves with only the YouTube videos I chose for them. Children today are surrounded by algorithmic feeds designed to keep them watching and pull them from one video to the next. KidScreen is my attempt to take some control back, because I believe choosing what my children watch is my responsibility as a parent. It is simple: I create one family, add my children, and paste YouTube links into each child's shelf. Each child has their…from kidscreen.app

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.
