Thank you, that's nice to hear! Your video button feedback is noted, I'll give that some thought! I've already added the README and LICENSE files to my repos, I appreciate you bringing that to my attention.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll look into my repos, I'm still incredibly new to the open-source and GitHub workflow, so I completely missed adding those files. There are video demos inside the details modal of each app product card on my website, if you'd like to take a look.

from the show-hn dept.

I’m not a software engineer by trade, but I needed to make a number of screenshots for my job that all needed to be the exact same size. Every app I found wouldn't let me input or save a preset size to make my life easier, so I thought I'd try out using AI to help me build a simple app to solve that problem. It wasn't long before I started adding more and more useful features and ended up...

Re:Ask HN: What dev tools do you rely on that nobody talks about? on Wednesday April 01, 2026 @04:40PM (#47606273)

This resonates. I actually ended up building a tool last year (CapSize) because I needed to churn out screenshots at a specific frame size for my day job and couldn't find anything that would just "lock" to 800x600 without a fight.

I'm not a dev by trade, so I did use AI as a power-tool to wrestle with the C++ and Electron parts. It turned into a bit of a rabbit hole—I ended up obsessed with keeping it entirely local/offline (no cloud APIs or telemetry) just to see if I could do things like local OCR in RAM. I ended up building two more tools to help me with making the one tool so it kind of spiraled into a small suite, but the main goal was just a no-frills utility that didn't require a login or a subscription just to crop an image.
