Pipkin
The baby tracker app that doesn't paywall the basics
What it does
I read 1,708 reviews of the category leader before writing a line of code. Four complaints repeated for years: basics behind a paywall, entries that vanished, predictions nobody could question, broken widgets. Pipkin answers each. Free forever to track, in writing. Local-first on your own iCloud, no account. Predictions that show their reasoning. One subscription covers both parents. And it never tells you what to do with your baby. It shows you what your baby actually does.
The baby tracker that keeps tracking free forever: sleeps, feeds, diapers, growth and milestones, plus nap predictions that show their reasoning.
Track every sleep, feed, diaper and milestone free for good. Then let Pipkin tell you what's changing: today's rhythm, the next nap window, and sleep regressions named from your baby's own data, with the reasoning shown. Free on iPhone, iOS 17+. No account, no ads, no trackers. Your log stays in your own iCloud . Free forever to track A dated pledge. The basics never move behind a paywall. Never loses an entry Local-first, synced to your own iCloud. Entries save the instant you tap. Shows its work Every nap and feed prediction explains its own reasoning. Both parents, one sub Invite by QR scan. One Plus covers the whole household. Exactly what ships on the App Store, from one-tap logging to…from pipkin.app

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.
