Woolean

Hey HN, We've got something that 1) isn't an AI whirlygig and 2) has hit a certain usability threshold that seems like it could fill a handful of niche needs. Woolean is a minimalist pairwise comparison app. Add a list of items (text, HEX codes, images, audio files, etc) and click Start Comparing to cast votes on all the possible 1v1 matchups. @maguay and I built this for our own use cases (him for picking the best photograph when they all look too similar, me for ranking microcopy variations). It feels so much easier to chunk lists into a handful of this-or-that votes instead of attacking…

Woolean launched on August 14, 2025 with 15 votes, #814 of 8,530 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.

What it does

Woolean is the app to compare things. List anything: Ideas, logos, photos, sounds, dates, colors, color palettes—anything you need to compare. Woolean will turn your list into pairwise comparisons. One vote at a time, you'll find the very best thing.

Compare simple things. Win clarity. Create comparison lists, vote on options, and find the best choice for any decision.

  • Kitten TTS is an open-source series of tiny and expressive text-to-speech models for on-device applications. We are excited to launch a preview of our smallest model, which is less than 25 MB. This model has 15M parameters. This release supports English text-to-speech applications in eight voices: four male and four female. The model is quantized to int8 + fp16, and it uses onnx for runtime. The model is designed to run literally anywhere eg. raspberry pi, low-end smartphones, wearables, browsers etc. No GPU required! We're releasing this to give early users a sense of the latency and voices…

  • I was wondering how I can arrange objects along a spherical helix path, and read some articles on it. I ended up learning about parametric equations again, and make this visualization to document what I learned: https://visualrambling.space/moving-objects-in-3d/ feel free to visit and let me know what you think!
