Now Playing - Taskbar Widget
See what's playing, right inside your Windows taskbar
What it does
A tiny widget that lives inside the Windows taskbar and shows whatever's playing, so you stop alt-tabbing to your music. It follows any player through the Windows media session (Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music, Windows Media Player), with play/pause, skip and a seekable progress bar. For Spotify it also shows the liked state and controls Smart Shuffle, repeat and volume. No login, no API keys, no account. Free, open source, runs on Windows 10 and 11.
See and control whatever's playing — right from the Windows 11 taskbar. A sleek now-playing widget that shows the current track and puts the controls one click away, without opening the app or leaving what you're doing.

Works with Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music, Windows Media Player and any app that reports what it's playing to Windows.

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.
