Umbraa
Made for the hours after dark
What it does
I kept falling asleep to shows or YouTube on my Mac and waking up to a screen still too bright, even at the lowest setting macOS allows. There was no way to dim further, so I built Umbraa: a menu bar utility that pushes brightness well past the system floor, with warm/red tints, a fade-to-black sleep timer, and automatic sunset-to-sunrise dimming. No account, no tracking. $4, macOS 26+. For anyone who's startled awake at 3am to a screen going full blast.

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.
