Orbit

What it does

Arc stopped getting developed, so Orbit picks it up. A native macOS browser on Chromium with the parts people actually miss: sidebar spaces, the command bar, split view, Peek, Reader, Boosts, Easel and Little Orbit. Everything lives on your Mac, with optional iCloud sync across your own devices. No account, no telemetry Open source under AGPL-3.0, so it can't quietly get shelved again.

An open source native macOS browser built on Chromium. Local first, no account, no telemetry.

A native macOS browser built on Chromium. Local first, no account, no telemetry. Up to four panes, horizontal or vertical, with draggable dividers. Per site CSS and JavaScript. Zap away elements you do not want. An infinite canvas and a rich text editor, both ordinary tabs. Split them side by side. Links open in a preview over the page. Promote to a tab or a split. Bring your bookmarks and history over from your oldfrom orbit-browser.app

  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…

  I trained a 125M model to autocomplete piano on-device▲598

  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.
