What it does

Magpie turns Instagram DMs into a memory layer for Reels. Send a Reel to Magpie and it saves, understands, and makes it searchable later with natural language. Instead of scrolling through saved posts, you can ask things like “that pasta recipe from last week” or “the cafe in Tokyo” and get the right Reel back in DM. It is built for people who save useful Reels but never find them again.

Send any Instagram reel to Magpie in a DM, then ask for it back in plain English. Save places to Google Maps, songs to Spotify, and reel notes to Notion.

Save reels in DMs. Recall anything later. Let skills act on what you save. Lives in your Instagram DMs. The app is for setup, skills & memory. You save it, you swear you'll come back to it, and it's gone. Magpie is the memory Instagram forgot to build. Share any reel to Magpie's DM — same as sending it to a friend. That's the whole save. It watches the reel for you — the place, the song, the recipe, the idea — and files it in your memory. Built-in commands work immediately. Connect external skills once, then use everything from Instagram DM — no app-switching or tabs. Connect a skill in the app once — then it answers to its command in DM, forever. Turn saved place reels into map tags —…from magpie.computer

  • 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…

  • 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…
