The Tower

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.

  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. 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…

  Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones▲627

  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…
