Maintrace

What it does

Habit trackers and budgeting apps have always lived apart, and both rely on you being honest with yourself. Maintrace connects them: habits can link to your spending and verify themselves, so a "no-spend day" can't be faked. Instead of journaling, you rate each expense in one tap — necessary, could reduce, regret — and see if the month was worth it. And unlike most finance apps, Maintrace is shared from day one, with one net worth for everyone you invite.

Maintrace keeps your money, habits, and goals moving together — quietly, precisely, every day.

  Clipto MCP▲655

  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…

  Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones▲627

  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…
