Ask HN: Who wants freshly roasted coffee?
Hey y'all - I consider myself a tinkerer and in the vein of doing things that don't scale, I want to send you coffee that I roast.
I have a couple bags of green beans to choose from.
If you want to print a picture or your art on a label, send me an image!
If you prefer a roast level, let me know too.

Here's a video of me roasting on my patio applying some object detection to the beans to get the average color - https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7123095011449085952/?originTrackingId=Eqpm7A0vQ1Cu2G1j7msaYg%3D%3D

> applying some object detection to the beans to get the average color
Do you have a technical write up? Is the object detection method explained in the repository? I think a slightly more technical artice would get more traction here. But don't forget to include the video!
I have a small writeup here: https://lamroger.com/blog/2024-03-10-coffee-roasting-tech/ and the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shMMuNuH3cE
But short answer is I finetuned a model with the help of Roboflow, grabbed the pixel values in the bounding box and avg'ed the values.
