Meridian
Don't let your work go unnoticed. Get promoted!
In plain words
Meridian is an open-source AI work journal that runs locally on your device without requiring cloud storage or account creation. It automatically logs your daily activities and generates plain-language summaries and project management tool updates throughout the day, capturing not just completed tasks but also time spent, delays, and context for why work took as long as it did. The tool is designed for professionals who want documentation of their accomplishments with minimal manual effort.

Meridian is an open-source AI work journal that runs entirely on your device. It writes your work up in plain English as the day goes, so by the end of the day you have a summary of everything you did. Meridian automatically drafts your updates for your project management tools like Jira, ready to post once you approve them. Do the work. Let the remembering take care of itself. No cloud, no account. MIT-licensed, free.
Meridian is a 100% local, open-source productivity tool. Nothing you do goes unnoticed: every action is logged, private, and 100% secure on your device.
The blocker that ate an hour, the task that doubled. Meridian remembers the reasons behind your day, ready to explain. Every task, every switch, every hour: the real shape of your work, captured automatically and kept on your device only. Not just what got done, but why the day went the way it did: which estimates held, which didn't, and where the time actually went. why Both finished tasks ran over estimate: search fix was scoped at 2h, took 2h 40m; the email copy at 30m took 55m. That overrun is what pushed the third task off the day. A clear update drafted from your actual work, matched to the right task, and posted only when you approve. Fixed slow product search.

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.
