We’re launching a platform that lets you turn any scenario—your basement, your city, your office—into an interactive POV horror video, powered by a state-of-the-art real-time video generation model (think LTXV, Sora, or whatever the AI gods just dropped on arXiv). You type a prompt, upload a photo, and seconds later you’re watching (and shaping) your own nightmare unfold. It’s not just a video generator. It’s an experience: dynamic, interactive, and game-like. Tweak the fear level, swap images, change the story on the fly. Export to TikTok, share, remix, collaborate. All runs are saved for…

Stop Reels▲163Hey HN, I just launched a free Chrome extension called Stop Reels — it blocks Reels/short videos on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok, without breaking other features like messaging or the regular feed. Why I built it Like many people, I found myself endlessly scrolling Reels even when I only opened the apps for something specific. The algorithms are too good at hijacking attention. There are tools to block entire sites, but none I found that just surgically block Reels and Shorts — and leave the rest of the platform functional (DMs, posts, marketplace, etc). So I built…

I built Yourabbit.com — a site that curates hand-picked YouTube rabbit holes grouped by themes like quirky psychology, obscure tech, weird facts, and binge-worthy oddities. It’s not driven by the YouTube algorithm — every collection is themed and curated manually (for now), with a backend I’m automating to fetch and organize new rabbit holes daily. Built as a hybrid Astro + Next.js project, optimized for static generation and speed. I’m also pairing videos with custom summaries and commentary (using AI), and would love feedback from the HN crowd on: Content model (too wide? not specific…

Back story: I've been learning computer graphics on the side for several years now and gain so much joy from smooshing and stretching images/videos. I hope you can get a little joy as well with Fuzzy Studio! Try applying effects to your camera! My housemates and I have giggled so much making faces with weird effects! Nothing gets sent to the server; everything is done in the browser! Amazing what we can do. I've only tested on macOS... apologies if your browser/OS is not supported (yet).
