What it does
Like a Book is a task manager that writes your life like a book. Instead of deleting tasks when you check them off — erasing every trace of your effort — it keeps every completed item on the page as a permanent record of your growth. Open the Book of Done anytime and see how far you've come, not just what's left to do. Free and Live demo embedded in the website :)
Like a Book breaks the to-do list logic of
To-do lists vanish the moment you check them off. A book keeps every page. Completed tasks are never deleted here — they stay on the page as the marks of your effort, and the trace of your growth. It doesn't just push tasks forward — it records your growth . Close one page, open the next. Select any phrase, right-click, ink it in color — and give each chapter its own tint. Four numbering styles, from 1. / 1.1. to a Chinese table of contents, with Ctrl+Z undo always at hand. Enter to write, Tab to indent, Ctrl+Enter to complete — on a paper-textured table of contents. Read by chapter or as a whole book; numbering stays book-wide and continuous, like a real table of contents. Star tasks in…from likeabook-product.com

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. 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…
