New Show Hacker News story: Show HN: 3D Topography of Your GPS Track

Show HN: 3D Topography of Your GPS Track 1 by folli | 0 comments on Hacker News. As a hiker and (ski)mountaineer I've always been a bit disappointed of how most apps fail to properly depict the topography while analyzing GPS tracks. (I know that Strava offers some kind of 3D view by now, but I still wanted to build my own thing) That's why I started working on https://cubetrek.com It's still very experimental, but you can give it test-drive now. Any feedback appreciated. It essentially renders your GPS Track as a 3D model within the topography. As an example, here's the Bishorn, a 4000 m peak in Switzerland: https://ift.tt/nPQJMcv The front end is based on Babylon.js, D3.js, the back end is Spring Boot and Postgresql with PostGIS. There's a summary on how it works at the very bottom of the homepage.

New Show Hacker News story: Show HN: Score In URL, a sheet music editor that store everything in URL

Show HN: Score In URL, a sheet music editor that store everything in URL 1 by powersnail | 0 comments on Hacker News. I'm excited to publish my new project, [Score In URL]( https://ift.tt/4XmJi3B ), a simple, privacy-friendly, sheet music sharing service, where the entire content is encoded in the URL itself as a query parameter. It comes with a decent text editor, rendered score, and audio. The sheet music is notated with ABC Notation, rendered by abcjs. This project is heavily inspired by [Hashify]( https://hashify.me ), which encodes a markdown document into its URL. The code is here: https://ift.tt/6ON8Pjn I made this with ViteJS and Tailwind CSS, and hosts it with GitHub Pages. I'm not proficient in front-end development at all, my past experience in this area being basically vanilla HTML/CSS, with a tiny bit of JS. This is in fact my first try at using any front-end framework. I sincerely welcome all feedback. The idea came to me when I tried to convey the idea of an e...

New Show Hacker News story: Show HN: Penumbra, a perceptually optimized color palette based on natural light

Show HN: Penumbra, a perceptually optimized color palette based on natural light 2 by solasluaith | 0 comments on Hacker News. For this palette, I used recent advances in color science, which made perceptual design more accessible, to choose a set of colors (mainly for syntax highlighting) that have uniform luminance for less visually uneven, fluidly readable code, but at the same time maximally distinguishable hue and chroma. The background colors are based on natural (sun-)light and shade for a more pleasing look than equally neutral greys. For much more detailed info, including the construction, check out the repository. There’s also already a (bare-bones) VSCode extension, linked in the repository, but it could admittedly use more informed distribution of colors over tokens, language specific highlighting and perhaps more opinionated use in UI elements.

New Show Hacker News story: Show HN: Butt Mover - A butt triggered productivity and health improvement game

Show HN: Butt Mover - A butt triggered productivity and health improvement game 2 by Abishek_Muthian | 0 comments on Hacker News. Productivity timers needed to be triggered manually before each task, Making it a chore by itself, Often leading to us not using them after a while and They don't take health into consideration. Health timers are intrusive, Even then they are not always accurate and They don't take productivity into consideration. Butt Mover addresses those problems by using a butt trigger for automatically starting the productivity timer when we sit on the chair before our workstation and a break timer which reminds us to take a walk automatically when we get up. Butt Mover also incentivizes its usage through a Game. When the health(tasks/breaks) reaches zero its game over. I've been iterating different forms of Butt Mover over past two years and released the web application earlier this year(After feedback from several HN users). Today I'm making the cor...

New Show Hacker News story: Show HN: MutableAI (YC W22) – Copilot Alternative for VS Code

Show HN: MutableAI (YC W22) – Copilot Alternative for VS Code 9 by oshams | 2 comments on Hacker News. Hi HN, We’re MutableAI (YC W22) ( https://mutable.ai ). Our mission is to reduce the time and cost to create high quality code using AI. We have worked at the full gamut of companies ranging from startups to big tech and have gotten the sense that many of the rote aspects of software development could be made easier, freeing up precious mental energy. Devs love Copilot, but autocomplete is just one of many ways that AI should make programming easier. We’re taking a more comprehensive approach to developer tooling that bundles Copilot-like autocomplete with documentation, custom AI instruction, and some early refactoring capabilities (Python only) in one extension. We currently support Javascript/Typescript, Python, Go, and Rust, with more coming soon. Overview (w/ bg music) [3]. In addition to autocomplete, which can be triggered either automatically or manually, we can add documen...
