Stowaway

What it does

Flight trackers show you a dot on a map. Stowaway puts you in the seat. Pick any aircraft or satellite currently overhead and ride along, looking down at the real world passing below. The sky is physically based — real sun and moon positions, real stars — so the light matches what's actually outside your window right now. Share a link to any flight. Send your family the one you're on and they can watch out the window with you from home. Free, no signup, in the browser.

Live 3D flight tracking in the sky that

Somewhere over the earth right now, someone has the perfect window seat. Find yours. Most flight trackers give you a little plane icon sliding across a map. Stowaway gives you the view instead: the actual sky that plane is flying through, with your horizon, your time of day and the stars that are really out tonight. Then it puts you in the seat. It's a rendering, of course. But nothing in it is invented. The planes are where they actually are. The satellites are on their actual orbits. The stars are worked out for wherever you happen to be standing. Every bit of it is drawn from something real, and most of it changes while you watch. Supporters fly over real buildings and real streets, in…from stowaway.live

  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…
