What it does
Save a full, faithfully rendered copy of any page in one click — not just a link. Full-text searchable, works on pages behind a login, and archives are private by default with the option to create share links.
Archive a web page in one click with the Chrome or Firefox extension — a full, rendered snapshot, not just a link, still there after the original 404s.
You bookmarked that vendor KB article, that Stack Overflow answer, that config guide — and one day it's a 404. The Starchive captures a full, faithfully rendered snapshot the moment you save it, so the page is still there long after the original disappears. Built for people who treat the web as a record, not a rumor. Pages are rendered in a real browser engine before they're saved, so JavaScript-heavy sites, dynamic content, and styling come through exactly as a visitor saw them — not a stripped-down text scrape. Archive a web page in Chrome or Firefox by clicking the extension on the page you're already looking at — no copy-pasting URLs, no breaking your flow. It can even capture pages…from thestarchive.com

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…
