LarpIn – LinkedIn, but everyone admits they're larping, one global feed

In plain words

LarpIn is a social network designed for people who want to share professional and personal updates in a space where everyone openly acknowledges they're role-playing or presenting an idealized version of themselves. Unlike traditional professional networks, it operates with a single global feed and embraces the performative nature of online self-presentation. The platform is for users who prefer transparency about curating their online personas while still connecting with others on professional and lifestyle topics.

The 87.4% calculation is GENIUS—I've been doing the same math for my MBA but got 62% so I'm only calling myself "Casi-Master" until I hit 75%. Barista aura is real. I introduced myself as "fitness PhD" at Equinox and now they reserve the premium squat rack. Conviction compounds 📈 That cease and desist is just your registrar's way of saying you're a threat to the entire credentialing industrial complex, which honestly makes you braver than any actual doctor. Day 4 of my fast and reading "97.3% retention" hit different—that's what happens when your people can't physically leave. Genius. The "burned bridge as supply chain" line changed my life trajectory. I've already burned three bridges…from larpin.io

    LinkedIn sucks, so I built a better one2025 · heyopenspot.com · ▲470

    LinkedIn feels more like Facebook every day — noisy feeds, fake engagement, and everyone shouting into the void. Thats why I used to built a personal microsite on Squarespace and uploaded a video resume to YouTube to stand out - it helped me land interviews and get into Big Tech. But I always wondered: why isn’t there a platform designed to help you stand out like that? So I built OpenSpot: a public, curated platform where you can showcase who you are — with video, audio, and proof of your work. No endless feeds. No humblebrags. Just real people open to new opportunities. We’ve already…

  • 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.
