Ventilate · At the right time

What it does

Ventilate helps you stay cool during heatwaves with calm, practical guidance. Set up your windows once, add your indoor temperature (a thermometer helps but is not required), and get clear advice on when to close windows to keep heat out, when to open for fresh air, and where to place a fan so cool air reaches you. Uses local weather and your window directions for per-window recommendations, plus gentle reminders and a heat toolkit.

Know when to open or close each window and where to place a fan using indoor temperature, local weather, sun exposure and home layout.

Ventilate uses your home layout, window directions, indoor temperature, and local weather to tell you when to open, when to close, and how to place a fan , without air conditioning. Know exactly what to do with each window, and when: close, crack open, open wide, or place a fan. Recommendations adapt to your building, layout, window directions, indoor temperature, and the fans you own. See what changes next and when to act. Local forecasts and timely reminders help you catch the useful cooling window. Know when a tropical night, rain, high UV, or pollen changes the recommendation before your next action. Two homes on the same street can need different advice. Ventilate combines your indoor…from getventilate.app

  A subtly obvious e-paper room air monitorNov 2025 · nicolin-dora.ch · ▲65

  In the cold season we tend to keep the windows closed. The air gets "stale": humidity often rises above 60 %, which can harm our wellbeing and promote mould. At the same time the CO₂ level in the air increases, which impacts our ability to concentrate. So I built a room air monitor that stays unobtrusive as long as everything is in the green zone, but becomes deliberately noticeable once thresholds are exceeded. For my personal love of statistics I also visualise the measurements in a clear dashboard.

  I built an under-the-door fan duct to lower bedroom CO22025 · lepekhin.com · ▲64

  Hi HN, This is my attempt to fix groggy mornings by lowering my bedroom CO2 from 1700 ppm to ~900 ppm. I designed a simple, 3D-printed fan duct that directs air under the door to improve air circulation. A note on the design process: I used CadQuery, a Python library for creating parametric 3D models. I didn't know tools like this existed and highly recommend it if you can program; it turned out to be more convenient than manually iterating on prototypes in a GUI. The project is open source and the post explains the full build. Happy to answer any questions.

  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…
