What it does

A local-first digital journal for writing in short bursts and threading entries onto each other over time — like a private, chronological stream of thought. No account, no server round-trip, no AI. Entries live in IndexedDB, right in your browser. There's a calendar view for scanning your history, a planner that shows task capacity honestly instead of letting you over-promise, an Insights page with streaks and a mood chart, and a focus mode for writing without the rest of the UI in the way.

Local-first apps that keep your work in your own browser storage: an editor for notes, code, docs and sketches, a journal that threads your entries over time, 29 free PDF and image tools, a bookmark manager that keeps a readable copy of every page you save, and Tuckit, a timer and Pomodoro you pull out of the edge of any page. A cheatsheet builder and screen recorder are in beta. No account needed

An editor, a 29-tool PDF and image suite, a journal, a bookmark manager, a cheatsheet builder, a screen recorder and a timer you pull out of the edge of any page. Each one runs entirely in your browser, keeps working offline, and exports to a file you own. No account, no upload, no cost. Notes, code, docs and sketches in one file tree — the extension picks the surface. 29 PDF and image tools that never see your files. Each is its own bookmarkable page. A timer and Pomodoro you pull out of the edge of any page. A Chrome extension — free, no account. Write in short bursts that thread like a conversation, with a planner and a timer attached. A bookmark manager that assumes the web rots — so it…from notoo.app

    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.
