Spawn
Stop typing git init, venv, mkdir - every time
What it does
Tired of mkdir, git init, venv, and installing the same packages every time you start a Python project? Spawn does it all in one command: spawn create. Pick from 8 templates (Backend API, CLI, AI Agent, RAG, MCP Server, and more) or paste any custom folder structure. Includes spawn doctor to score your project's health too. Open source, MIT licensed. pip install spawnio My first real dev tool - would love your feedback!
Spawn a ready-to-use Python project in seconds
Eliminate repetitive project setup. Go from zero to a fully structured dev environment in seconds. Spawn is a local CLI tool that transforms one command into a complete Python project foundation — directories, Git, dependencies, and a virtual environment set up automatically, so you can start building immediately. mkdir my-project && cd my-project mkdir src tests docs touch README.md .gitignore git init python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate ... It's repetitive. It's inconsistent. And you haven't written a single line of real code yet. pip install spawnio will silently return "no matching distribution" on Python < 3.12. If you're using uv, run uv python install 3.12 to get a…from pypi.org

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.
