What it does
That video you bookmarked? You were never going to rewatch it. And if you had, you’d have just opened the app and started scrolling again. Shortsmark skips the rewatch and hands you the idea directly—so the time you’d have spent scrolling is time you get back. Shortsmark extracts, structures, and saves actionable insights, technical takeaways, and mental models from short-form video platforms into a distraction-free workspace designed for action rather than continuous consumption.
Instant capture, full-context recall, and an external memory built to think like you. Save any public link and Shortsmark keeps the idea, with a citation back to where it came from.
Shortsmark turns long videos, articles, and documents into a personalized feed of posts you can read in seconds. Each post is short enough to scroll past and links back to the moment in its source, so you can check it. They already understand your industry’s problems, and unlike direct competitors they are paid to help you. Urgency is worth more to the buyer than a discount is worth to you. Find out how fast they need it first. Leading with the limit you designed around stops the room from re-litigating it after you finish. Work through difficult material one point at a time. Every TL;DR opens the full thread it came from. Start by naming the constraint. Confirm the deadline, then frame the…from shortsmark.com

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…
