openCT – Offline Community Platform

What it does

Every platform sells the first meeting. We built the second one. OpenCT is the retention layer for offline communities. Discover nearby gatherings, reserve your seat, connect with people before you arrive, continue conversations after the gathering, and return together. We help organisers turn one-time attendees into returning members and gatherings into lasting communities. Discover → Join → Meet → Connect → Community Because community begins after the event.

Discover gatherings near you, join your tribe and keep the conversation going. Live audio rooms, games and chats. Get the openCT app.

Real meetups near you, and a tribe that stays: chats, live audio rooms and games with the same people, every week. Free or paid, your spot is confirmed in seconds. Your ticket lands in the app. The night ends, the friendships don't. Chat, talk live and play together. Real gatherings, hosted by real people. The next one starts soon . The website shows what's on. The app is where your people are. Every gathering opens a group chat. Mention friends, reply and plan the next one together. Drop into your tribe's room any evening. Talk, laugh and react with emojis. Tambola, trivia and party games. Climb the weekly top players. Verified hosts, secure UPI and card payments, privacy you control. 186…from openct.co

  Linen – Open-source Slack for communities2022 · github.com · ▲292

  Hi HN, My name is Kam. I'm the founder of Linen.dev. Linen communities is a Slack/Discord alternative that is Google-searchable and customer-support friendly. Today we are open-sourcing Linen and launching Linen communities. You can now create a community on Linen.dev without syncing it from Slack and Discord! I initially launched Linen as a tool to sync Slack and Discord conversations to a search engine-friendly website. As I talked to more community managers, I quickly realized that Slack and Discord communities don't scale well and that there needs to be a better tool, especially for…

  Clipto MCP▲655

  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…

  Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones▲627

  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…
