Shape
The agentic IDE for designers and programmers
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.
Shape brings design and code together in one focused workspace, with AI, Git, and everything you need to build and ship. Click an element in preview, tweak it in the sidebar, and apply the change back to source. Track signups, usage, and revenue from one dashboard your team actually opens. Select any element in the live preview the same way you would in a design tool. Layout, fill, type, and radius sit beside the page while you work. What you change in preview writes back to the file you already have open. One thread to search, read files, edit, and run checks without leaving the editor. Search, open docs, read files, edit, and run checks in the same thread. Diffs land in your project, not…from useshape.org

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.

Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

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…
