Show HN: Turn Screenshots into Designs Instantly

There is no way I would ever download an .exe for something like this. If all it does is take an image, add some background and borders, and give you some sliders to adjust things... that can be a web page, where I am not putting my system's security at risk.

You're right of course, but it's kind of crazy that downloading an exe is putting our security at risk, in this day and age. It feels like our OSes are stuck in the middle ages.

Fair point. Do you have any recommendations on how to do this alternatively, for Windows? I defaulted to .exe but obviously didn't think about the user perception of it.

Like the user above says, a web service using CSS/JS for the image manipulation (you can get quite good perf with CSS these days)
