What it does

Gemini Notebook is brilliant at thinking. Everything around it is friction: copy-pasting URLs, hunting for papers in other tabs, re-typing the same instructions every session, exporting a deck with a watermark. Notebook OS removes that friction: one-click YouTube and academic sources, voice notes straight into a notebook, Skills that make it remember how you work, Studio recipes for decks, reports and quizzes, and watermark-free presenting.

Notebook OS is a free Chrome extension that adds Skills, Studio Recipes, Capture Spoken Thoughts, Academic Search, Premium Deck View, and more on top of Gemini Notebook — without replacing anything Gemini Notebook already does well.

Gemini Notebook is brilliant at thinking — everything around it is friction. Notebook OS removes it: one-click YouTube and academic sources, voice notes straight into your notebook, Skills that remember how you work, Studio recipes for decks, reports and quizzes, and watermark-free presenting. Other Gemini Notebook extensions focus on what goes in — organizing notebooks, importing sources, managing tags. Notebook OS focuses on what comes out — turning conversations into polished artifacts, capturing ideas the moment they happen, and finding research without ever leaving your flow. Save how you work as a reusable instruction, then apply it to a notebook. Because a Skill becomes a source,…from notebook-os.com

  • 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…
