Hi HN, like many of you talented folk, I’ve been building more, faster than ever. I built Saggar after my terminal stopped feeling like a tool and started feeling like a tab-management problem. Let me know you think!

Most color palettes collapse if you've got a strong redshift/nightshift color filter actively suppressing green and blue channels. I made one that doesn't.Ember has terminal, chart, heatmap, and UI palettes designed and tested to be as distinguishable as possible under both the redshift & non-redshift condition... so no more duplicate color appearances (or worse yet, disappearing colors!).

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 others as I have found it! There's lots of room for improvements (see the Future Work section), but I'm really happy with how it turned out.

Descript costs $24/mo, so I built this over a single weekend with Fable!Introducing Rescript: edit videos by simply editing the transcript text. Drop in a video and it is transcribed locally with per-word timestamps and speaker labels.

Hey! I'm Andrei.I got frustrated by how people tend to build overcomplicated backend systems, being "motivated" by big tech case studies and popular books.So, I started exploring lean architecture, and building my digital garden of ideas, approaches and data that align with this direction.Here I want to present one of the tools – Sizing tool for PostgreSQL. I've benchmarked PostgreSQL on different EC2 instances and disks, with different initial data sets to see performance that these instances can give you. And I've built a tool to visualize this data, which I welcome you to explore.So, you can put your usual input parameters, like needed RPS and disk size as input, and find out which instance will be the most cost-efficient for your needs.You can read about the methodology here: https://postgres.saneengineer.com/aboutI've tested one workload – mixed 90/10 read/write, and only selected configurations. But it is extensible, and I (and you – benchmark is open source: https://github.com/anivaniuk/sanebench) can run more configurations to have more data represented.Does it look interesting? What workload should I benchmark next?
