Usurp

What it does

Every "best tools" list is ranked by something — often money, rarely disclosed. Usurp is that transaction with the price tag left on. One public board. $1 puts your link on it. $1 more than the person above passes them. Pay again with the same URL to raise — you're charged only the difference. What's different: every number is checkable. Bid, clicks sent, and cost-per-click per listing — the last one nobody else publishes. Traffic stats are public too. No accounts, no keys.

A pay-to-rank leaderboard. The highest bid holds #1 and bid volume comes from confirmed payments.

Already listed? Re-enter your URL to raise your bid. You only pay the difference. These details appear after your first confirmed payment. You can edit them later from this browser. Rank is estimated until payment is confirmed. Other bids can move it. Any tax is shown at checkout. Rules & FAQ Ranks and quotes refresh every 30 seconds while this page is visible. Higher bids climb. Equal bids favour the earlier current bid. Your spot stays until someone outbids you. Read the rulesfrom usurp.cc

  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…
