Orbfile
a file converter that keeps your files on your computer
What it does
Most online converters upload your files to a server. I wanted the opposite. OrbFile processes files directly inside the browser whenever possible, keeping documents, images, audio, and video on the user's machine. It currently includes more than 200 tools covering conversion, compression, resizing, and common document utilities. The project has been an interesting challenge in balancing privacy, performance, and browser limitations.

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.
