Launcher Codes
Codes, not spreadsheets
What it does
If you release music or games, you end up with codes. A pile, pasted into an email from your label or your distributor. You're now supposed to hand them out to fans, reviewers and curators without giving the same one to two people or losing track of which ones worked. This is the boring infrastructure for that. Put the codes in, share one link, and it handles the rest: one code per person, captcha so bots don't drain the batch, a record of claimed codes, and a way to report none working codes.

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.
