PermitCore
Structured US building-permit data
What it does
PermitCore turns US building-permit records into structured, queryable data. We ingest permits from 144 onboarded jurisdictions — roughly 23 million filings — and normalize them into one schema, so a contractor search or a permit lookup works the same way in Philadelphia as it does in Phoenix. Cities publish in wildly different formats, and most of the work is making them comparable.
Find the contractors and projects worth selling into, by segment × metro. 35 US metros · 9 commercial segments · nightly refresh. Self-serve Pro $89/mo.
See which contractors just pulled commercial permits in your territory — ranked by volume, value, and momentum, refreshed nightly. Preview — ≈$60.0B in reliable value across 116,171 filings · your market in 2 clicks One real New York City record — classified, valued, parcel-joined, geocoded, enriched. Click into any of it. Anyone can scrape permits. The hard part — the part that makes “ Commercial Alteration in Chicago ” actually mean something — is reading the permit fields and classifying each one. That’s what makes the contractor data above trustworthy. We read the actual fields — not keywords — so a permit that looks like a generic “alteration” lands in the right segment.

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/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.
