What it does
The Safari Guy builds a dedicated offline app for each of 14 African national parks, from Kruger and Etosha to the Kgalagadi and the Masai Mara. Each app contains offline GPS maps, a full illustrated guide to the species that actually occur in that park, road and rest-camp information, and a personal sighting logbook. Everything works with no mobile signal, and logged sightings stay yours even if a subscription ends.
The Safari Guy makes offline safari apps for 24 national parks in Africa and the USA: offline GPS maps, a full wildlife guide and a sighting logbook that keep working with no signal. Free self-drive guides too.
No signal in the bush? No problem. Spot the animals, learn their story and save every sighting — everything works without a network, built for the real safari. Whether you travel across Africa or have lost your heart to one specific park — there is an app built for you. One app that carries all of African wildlife. Spot animals wherever you safari and build your personal wildlife life-list. Deep, local and specialised. Per park: all roads, camps, gates, picnic spots and only the species that occur in that park. No signal, harsh sunlight, you on the lookout — our apps were designed for exactly that situation. All animal info, maps and routes live in the app. Download once — always available…from thesafariguy.co.za

I made an offline-ready hiking trail companion app2022 · github.com · ▲475Hi HN! This is a trail companion web app (think AllTrails) I hacked together in a couple weeks time. I was inspired to create this project while training for an extended backpacking trip. My motivation was to create a UI tailored exactly to my liking, and to be able to track my progress along the trail without draining my battery. I also wanted to experiment with PWA technologies. I successfully used it on my five day adventure along the Knobstone Trail in southern Indiana, and even though it's web-based it hardly consumed any battery life on my old first-gen Pixel XL. It's set up currently…

Clipto MCP▲655Hey 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…

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…
