Tech Layoff Survival Kit

What it does

Laid off? You are juggling two problems at once: the job search and the money math underneath it (severance, COBRA, unemployment). Most trackers only handle one. This workbook combines a severance/COBRA/runway calculator with a full job pipeline (applications, interviews, networking) so you always know your days of runway and where you stand. For laid-off tech workers. Get it: https://logi2.gumroad.com/l/riypw

You got the call, the Slack access got revoked an hour later, and now you're staring at a severance agreement, a COBRA quote you haven't opened yet, and a...

  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.

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…
