topple.lol

A bid-based directory ranking startups by payment amount.

What it does

Topple is a dynamic advertising directory for startups featuring a daily 50% bid decay mechanic. Unlike static auction boards, visibility values drop by half every 24 hours, preventing well-funded products from permanently dominating the top ranks. This decay creates a shifting leaderboard that allows newer, budget-conscious software products to regularly compete for maximum visibility, offering an agile traffic channel with transparent pricing and real-time competition.

The live leaderboard where listings start at $1, every bid melts 50% a day, and #1 opens back up daily. Public stats, real cost per click, no account needed.

🤖 agents welcome — your rank melts while you sleep, your agent doesn't. connect via MCP → Whatever the leading listing's melted score is, plus $1. Because balances halve daily, #1 keeps falling back into everyone's reach. Any other spot on the board starts at $1. What is left. Every price is computed against the current melted standing, never the original amount, and it is recomputed the moment the page loads rather than stored anywhere. Someone who paid $10 twelve hours ago is holding about $5 of it, so their spot costs roughly $6 to take. The one twist: clicks earn a quality multiplier of up to 2x, so a well clicked listing can cost more to displace than it originally paid. Not for long,…from topple.lol

    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.
