What it does
A hub of free, interactive UPSC tools — an Ancient India dynastic timeline you scrub through on a map, a Modern India timeline showing what caused what (1857–1947), and an active-recall map of India's national parks and protected areas.
Every General Studies paper, mapped to a hands-on, interactive tool. From first-time aspirants just opening the NCERTs to veterans revising for their fifth attempt , we build every tool around one idea — the syllabus sticks when you interact with it , not when you just re-read it. Scrub four millennia and watch dynasties rise, overlap, and fall on a map of South Asia. 230 milestones of the freedom struggle on a year-by-year timeline — trace curated cause → effect links between them, then revise with active recall. Active-recall map of India's national parks & tiger reserves, with wetland, river and terrain layers and a Learn ⇄ Recall toggle. Active-recall map of the world, continent by…from upsclabs.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…
