2. Sun Clock ↗

A free, ad-free 24-hour web clock that shows the sun's position, sunrise/sunset/golden hour/twilight times, moon phase, and rising/setting times based on your current location.

5. Roboflow Playground ↗

A free web tool that lets you run the same image and prompt across up to five zero-shot computer vision models side by side, covering 30+ models from Anthropic, OpenAI, Meta, Google, and open-source providers like Florence-2. Removes the friction of wiring up multiple vision APIs individually, letting developers benchmark models instantly before committing. Modest traction (40 points, 3 comments) suggests it reached a narrower specialist audience rather than broad HN interest. — 📊 성과 신호: Supports 30+ models; up to 5 models compared simultaneously; tasks: object detection, image classification, OCR, captioning, open-prompt VQA
