Ditch bloated Lottie files for 60fps mobile animations
What it does
App looking bland? Want animations, but tired of massive Lottie files tanking your performance? Stop choking your app with bloated JSONs. Skia-powered shaders run at 60fps, weigh nothing, and look incredible. Build, test, and tweak SKSL right here, then drop it directly into your React Native, Flutter, or even Native Mobile app.

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.
