What it does
Shape is the agentic IDE for designers and programmers. Design, code, Git, and AI chat in one desktop app. Download for Windows.
The desktop coding agent. Works in your files.
Building software just changed. Meet your universal coding agent. I'll drop the Multiwork empty state and stack the logo over the composer. Use Figma directly in Shape for design context and Code Connect. Yes. It edits in the folder you opened. You accept, skip, or undo each change. Nothing ships until you do. Search the repo, run the terminal, plan, review, look things up, generate images, talk to apps you connected, and commit. The list above is the honest version of the docs. Auto is included. Paid plans can pick named models from the labs in the catalog. You can switch mid-thread. The editor, diffs, terminal, and git work on disk without a network.

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…
