TexMax
Turn any Android phone into a real-SIM SMS API
What it does
Connect your own dashboard or app to TexMax through a simple API. TexMax talks to your paired Android phone, which sends and receives real text messages over its own SIM. No rented number, no per-message telecom fees.
Connect your dashboard or app to TexMax through a simple API. It talks to your paired Android phone, sending and receiving real SMS over its own SIM.
Connect your software to TexMax through API and use an Android phone as your SMS gateway. Send messages from your own dashboard and get replies delivered straight back into your application. You don't replace your software to get SMS. TexMax connects to whatever you're already running. One request from your own backend. This is the real call, not a mockup. The request lands on the one phone paired to your account, over an always-open connection. No polling. This is the part that makes it real. Not a virtual number. Not a routed carrier lease. Your own phone, your own SIM, sending over the actual mobile network. Read more about how an Android SMS gateway works , including the difference…from texmax.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.
