Partisyn▲137
Kept seeing desk setup photos with 50 comments asking "what keyboard is that?" Built Particulate - upload a photo, click to tag components, get a shareable link. No login required. Tech: Next.js + Django + Cloud Run + MongoDB. Tags use percentage positioning so they stay accurate on any screen size. Would love feedback on whether this actually solves the problem.
