What it does

VS-1 uses a Swiss-style tournament system borrowed from chess competitions. Instead of single-elimination brackets (where one bad matchup knocks out a great sample) or exhaustive round-robin (where comparing 100 samples means 4,950 matchups), Swiss tournaments strike a balance!

Too many samples, too little time? VS-1 is an audio sample tournament sorter that helps you find the best samples in large libraries through pairwise comparison. VS-1 uses a Swiss-style tournament system borrowed from chess competitions. Instead of single-elimination brackets (where one bad matchup knocks out a great sample) or exhaustive round-robin (where comparing 100 samples means 4,950 matchups), Swiss tournaments strike a balance: For a library of 100 samples, you'll have a solid ranking after ~7 rounds (700 comparisons) instead of the ~5,000 a full round-robin wouldfrom github.com

  • Bracket – selfhosted tournament system2025 · github.com · ▲153

    Over the last two years, I developed a tournament system called Bracket. Most (if not all) tournament systems available online are paid and ask tons of money (a typical minimum subscription costs 50 euros per month, and go up to 500 euros per month or so), which is not feasible for many small sport clubs/individuals. So I developed my own system and put it publicly on GitHub. AFAIK this is the only open source tournament system available that has a significant amount of features. I made this tournament system for my badminton club and hosted six paid tournaments successfully. It…

    I made a competitive debating game(like chess.com but for debating)2025 · crs-prod-rankeddebate-l4dnggfaca-nn.a.run.app · ▲17

    Got tired of my debates with my friend's ending in "I'm right bc I said so" so I made a platform where you can debate with your friend's(or a bot, recently added feature) about whatever you want, and after the debate is done a LLM judges who's more sound in logic. Gain points and climb the leaderboard! Feedback and criticism would be appreciated(there's a discord in there if you wanna talk more in depth) p.s.: I decided to use google acc sign in since it makes the whole thing easier to manage(live chatroom feature, etc.). I don't actually do anything with your emails

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
