OnlyFounders

Where founders build in public.

What it does

OnlyFounders is the live network for founders — a place to watch real startups build, ship, and grow in public. Founders host live sessions straight from their dashboard: share progress, answer questions, run polls, and build an audience as they go. No polished demo days, no recap threads — just the actual work, happening live. We're opening up in invite waves — join the waitlist to get early access.

The live startup network where companies build, grow and raise in public.

Tell us about you and your startup. We review every application by hand. Once approved, host live sessions from your dashboard — no setup, just hit start. Founders and backers drop in, ask questions, vote on polls, and follow yourfrom onlyfounder.vercel.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.
