The Tower
A 3D skyline where every payment is a clickable floor
What it does
The Tower is a pay-to-rank board turned into a 3D skyscraper. Pay any amount and a new floor appears forever. Fly around the city, click a block, and see the project, handle, and link behind it. Want a better spot? Outbid the floor above you. Built for indie makers who want visibility that doesn’t vanish in 24 hours.
Pay to claim your spot in The Tower: a leaderboard of builders where the biggest bid holds the top. Every payment becomes a permanent, colored block. No ads, no subscriptions: the payment is the rank.

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.
