Spotmaker - Your startup on the board

What it does

Spotmaker puts live startups on a public board. For $5, a Spot Reveal gives your startup a random number, a ranking position for seven days, and a public profile for founders to explore. Try another Spot Reveal anytime. If the new number ranks lower, your current position stays the same.

A public discovery board where startups get a seven-day spot and founders find products worth trying.

  Hey! I've recently launched Waitlister, an app for creating product launch waitlist in minutes (or seconds if you wish to). Why you should build a waitlist before you launch your product? Because, - it'll help you validate your idea before spending too much time on building, - get first users that will potentially convert/sign up as soon as you launch, - and you can generate more buzz for your launch than you could without one. How does Waitlister help you with this? With it, you can: - create a hosted landing page, - create an embeddable waitlist form, - send automatic welcome emails,…

  Clipto MCP▲655

  Hey 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…

  Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones▲627

  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…
