Show HN: I created a beautiful number animation library for React Native (number-flow-react-native.awingender.com)
Hi!<p>I&#x27;ve been frustrated with the fact that the beautiful NumberFlow library for web (link) is not available on React Native - a platform that I think is much more animation native than the web is. And there are no alternatives of the same quality available. So I reimplemented it myself, basi...

Show HN: Generative Art Synthesizer (emh.io)
Recently I was experimenting with some basic generative art pieces across a variety of similar algorithms and I found myself constantly tweaking parameters and re-running the algorithm to see the results - so I built a framework&#x2F;harness for them where I can tweak the parameters via a bank of sl...

Show HN: AstrMap – Unix Philosophy for the AI Era (Ditch the RAG) (github.com)
Hey HN, I got incredibly tired of RAG for code. Vectorizing source code into arbitrary chunks and hoping a cosine-similarity search finds the right structural context is a black box that just doesn&#x27;t reliably work for agentic coding. It&#x27;s anti-KISS.<p>So I wrote AstrMap in Go.<p>It rips th...

I made a generative art system that generates random expressions made of functions (sin, exp, mod, etc.), variables x&#x2F;y and p&#x2F;q (polar coordinates), and constants you can set and animate. The outputs are highly variable.<p>You can press P to animate all constants at the same time and N to ...
