Velvet UI
Native-feeling sheets and toasts for React
What it does
Velvet UI is a headless React library for sheets and toasts that feel at home on every device. Browser-native WAAPI animations and custom physics power fluid dragging, scrolling, snapping, touch gestures, trackpad swipes, mouse-wheel input, and interruptible motion. It is accessible, deeply customizable, tree-shakeable, and dependency-free beyond React. Use it with your own styles or with Base UI, Radix UI, and React Aria.
Build native-feeling React interfaces with swipeable bottom sheets, nested surfaces, spring motion, accessible primitives, and stackable toasts.
Spring physics, real momentum, and native scroll-snap gestures , driven by the Web Animations API and composed like building blocks. Hover a card to preview its motion. Open it to drag, scroll, stack, and dismiss the realfrom velvetui.co

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.
