Papiano is a free online piano app in your browser — phone touch, MIDI controller, or QWERTY keyboard, with SoundFont sound and live multiplayer rooms.

The Papiano app turns any phone, laptop, or MIDI controller into a full piano — real SoundFont sound, falling notes, live multiplayer rooms, and chord detection that keeps up with you. No downloads, no paywalls. Just play. No account needed — open the site and the real piano is right there. Built for players first — whether you're learning your first chord or flexing your five-hundredth. Tap the screen, type on your QWERTY keyboard, or plug in a MIDI controller. Same piano, whichever input is closest. Real SoundFont instruments with low-latency playback — what you press is what you hear, exactly when you press it. Notes rain onto the keys as music plays.

  • Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

    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&#x2F;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.
