PicPocket – Dedicated 'chats' for photo-sharing (share to organize)
I built PicPocket because my photo gallery, which is largely an unstructured dataset, was already organized when I shared my photos with others. Namely, whenever I take photos on a trip/event/etc. with other people, I always end up sharing those photos with them on WhatsApp. This act of sharing implicitly 'tags' the people who were there, and organizes them into clusters of photos, but this effort isn't utilized. The point of PicPocket is to piggy-back on the effort of sharing, to simultaneously organize and store those photos.

What it does
Ever tried to find a photo in your gallery and instead did finger pull-ups for 5 minutes? Lost a bunch of memories because they're on someone else's phone and they never shared them? We already have the perfect interface for sharing photos - the chat interface. PicPocket.io gives you that simple chat interface to share your photos, and organize them at the same time. Sharing is organizing, and organizing is sharing.
PicPocket is a new way of thinking about the media you own. It
Archiving isn't the same as storing memories. PicPocket gives you shared group chats, but for photo albums instead of text. It's the easiest way to share, store and organize your media into a meaningful timeline of albums and people. Privately share photos, or an entire album, with all of your contacts or specific people. Your posts shows up on their feed. Create a placeholder for anyone who isn't on the app yet. You can add them to albums, leave voice notes and share posts. When the real person joins, they'll auto-magically inherit everything shared with them. Enjoy lightning fast upload and download speeds, wherever you are in the world. Privacy by default, only people you choose can see…from picpocket.io

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

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…
