Wordbulb

Hey HN, I’ve been building a few SaaS products over the last couple of years, and in between larger features I sometimes build small tools to reset my brain. This started as one of those. It’s called WordBulb: https://wordbulb.com/word-cloud-generator At first, it was just a simple word cloud generator. But while building it, I kept thinking: why are most word clouds basically just decorative images? They look interesting, but they’re not useful. So I decided to make it interactive and embeddable — where every word can have its own target link. What it does Add your own words…

Some are useful, some educational, and some are just fun :) Most of the tools are free and work right in the browser.

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…

  • 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…
