Orca – Instant cross-platform in-app purchase orchestration
Hi HN, Founder of Maxint here, we just launched Orca (https://orca.maxint.com/) One major hurdle for us, following the deployment across iOS, Android, Linux, MacOS, Windows and Web, was monetization. There was no standardized store, schema or architecture to define, integrate and track subscriptions, consumables and non-consumables across platforms. We tried RevenueCat and Adapty, however both were limited to mobile and web, while we still had to manually set up all products and entitlements in each of the stores - Google PlayStore, Apple AppStore and Stripe. Both providers…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
Hi HN, Founder of Maxint here, we just launched Orca (https://orca.maxint.com/) One major hurdle for us, following the deployment across iOS, Android, Linux, MacOS, Windows and Web, was monetization. There was no standardized store, schema or architecture to define, integrate and track subscriptions, consumables and non-consumables across platforms. We tried RevenueCat and Adapty, however both were limited to mobile and web, while we still had to manually set up all products and entitlements in each of the stores - Google PlayStore, Apple AppStore and Stripe. Both providers had no support for MacOS, Linux and Windows, and raising GitHub issues left us hanging for months, while our users were limited to use their subscription on a single platform only. This forced us to build a monetization orchestration platform supporting all major operating systems. We launched it internally, 12+ months ago and we tested it heavily with thousands of users. Early this year we implemented an MCP server, enabling us to use internal agents to interact with the stores, set up products and to get insights. We also added support for TypeScript, Swift and Kotlin, in addition to Dart/Flutter with more SDKs coming soon. Now we are launching in public and you can get started for free. One last thing. We eliminated the revenue tax, I wrote a detailed analysis on our blog and I will appreciate your feedback regarding Orca, our pricing model and your experience implementing subscriptions.

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.
