Promise — Wake up with a reason

Wake up to the promises you made to yourself

What it does

Promise is an alarm clock that wakes you up with your own recorded voice messages. At night, when your motivation is strongest, record a message to your future self: why you want to wake up, what you want to accomplish, or a promise you don't want to break. When your alarm rings, morning-you hears exactly why you set it. Instead of waking up to another sound you want to silence, wake up to a reason to get out of bed.

Promise is a personal alarm that wakes you with a message recorded in your own voice.

Record the message your morning self needs to hear. Promise turns tonight’s intention into an alarm that sounds like the one person who knows your reason best—you. Promise takes less than a minute to set up—and gives your alarm something a chime never could: meaning. Name the thing worth getting up for: a run, quiet time, focused work, or simply yourself. Leave a kind, specific voice note for tomorrow. It stays private and stored on your device. Your recording becomes the alarm—optionally following a rising chime—so your morning starts with intention. Every detail is designed to make following through feel more human. Wake directly to your recording, or choose a rising chime before your…from promise.eslamelsadawy.com

    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.
