#22You really don't want to have white text on light grey buttons. Fun little thing otherwise!
To the OP: It looks like your `button`s have no `color` property, and are just relying on the user agent stylesheet to (hopefully) be a dark text color. This will vary for different users.

#23This is really cool, nicely done

#24The demo gif in the github, https://github.com/arefmalek/airdraw, is pretty awesome. Thanks for postin the code as well. Perhaps put that demo in home page of the website
Re: Show HN: Airdraw
#25pretty cool, main thing is you really want to do all your drawing above your shoulders. Below your shoulders you start rotating your hand and it loses track.

#26I had a lot more fun with that than I expected great work! I found my finger maneuvers not crisp enough to do anything with real detail.
One idea I immediately had was to use a key on the keyboard (if not on mobile of course) as triggers for draw, hover, erase, etc. You could also control different colors that way, possibly even draw generated shapes like circles and rectangles (press 'c' to start a circle, then use your finger to drag out the size, stop with 'c' again).
and if you want to get really advanced, allow rotation of the drawn object and then choose a new plane to draw on.

#27If you unexpectedly get balloons in your video, here's why: https://support.apple.com/en-us/105117
It actually knows the difference between the British version of the middle finger (the V) and the peace sign
(Peace sign has palm facing out, 'fuck you' sign has palm facing in)

#28Earlier quoted context omitted.
Same on Safari on Mac
Hey! Was this even with camera enabled? I just ran the site on my Safari MacOS locally and it works. The big thing to wait on is the actual model weights, its ~7.5 MB according to MP website, and i also make requests out to the MP website for WASM stuff
Not the OP, but in Chrome, with my camera permission disabled (i.e. set to "Don't allow sites to use your camera"), I also just get that "Model loading" forever. Once I turned it on manually, it loaded instantly.
Maybe there could be a permissions check and an error message if it's disabled? https://jamesburnside.github.io/blog/detecting-camera-permis...

#29I was building something really similar here https://ablepaint.dreammachine.one/ !

#30my father is deaf and mute, particularly the Pakistani sign language, one particular utility i see this can be really useful for is if the model can be trained on detecting different sign languages, then it would become possible for live translation to happen and in a distant future all people like my dad can talk with each other beyond their small communities. I don't think something like that exists.

there are some samples, using the same framework that airdraw uses.
