    Read an article yesterday about the H.264 codec increasing their licensing fee by an astronomical amount. And as always, my first shot was how hard could it be to try and build a codec which could be that efficient. I've personally been on a drive to improve my ability to one-shot complex features, products, or make even surgical changes. It's been a few months since I've been doing that, and honestly, results have been great for both work and work/life balance. This was a fun experiment. It burned through tokens, but it helped me identify some more improvements I could make to my…

    Hi, Firstly, the link to the tool - https://github.com/DrRoach/DynamicImage I created a dynamic image sizing tool that allows images of any size to be generated on the fly. It's aims are as follows: a) Allow users of sites to upload images of any size without the site owner having to worry about their dimensions or having to resize them. b) Reduce load times for sites as images can be stored on their own dedicated server and be served in milliseconds. I'd love to hear some feedback as to what you think and whether you'd consider using this tool and if not, why not? All…

    Hi, so over the weekend I built a free to use service to compress one or more images using MozJEPG encoding enabled via WASM. It's a static site, all the processing happens on the client side, no file uploads or sign-ups needed! Why? The existing services are either filled with ads or require you to sign-up / pay. would greatly appreciate any feedback! TIA!

    hey there hn! thought you would appreciate my brand new file format - i've spent over 40 minutes creating this standard. it's really hard trying to get your ideas shown to standards boards etc but i think with the great community here we can help get bioif support into all major browsers :) the spec is available over at the website, as is a reference implementation. it already has higher usage than jpeg-xl. - best

    Frameloop is an AI-powered video creation and automation tool, that turns ideas into publishable videos within seconds. I've been working on this for past 4 months now, and have few paying customers as well. Most of them are individual creators, and about 20% are businesses. I'd like to focus more on business users going forwards, and am building branded video features for businesses. There are many other tools at this point, but my focus has been to focus on great UX, and giving users a really good first draft, which is easily editable. And I think that focus is what differentiates us. Try…

    Saw the remotion claude skills launch earlier, and honestly even though I was surprised how decent some of the results turned out to be I ended up never trying it out with claude code because I knew I'd have to setup remotion, bundler etc and if I was already doing it once I thought I might as well turn it into a site where anyone could just write messages and get a video without any prerequisites. I also know Claude Code is not something everyone has and setting up remotion is a pain. And one of the biggest lessons I learned from this whole experience is that Opus is actually not that good…

    Hey HN. Online image compressors are good, actually not! popups, subscription, clunky ui & more... So I created ConUtil Compressor it's 100% free and opensource. The only local image compressor that doesn't suck or get you into subscription hell. Enjoy! Ahmed

    I made a simple site that allows you to upload files. It requires no sign up and 100% free. The biggest advantage is that it returns you the direct URL to your file. So you can use it to store images for MD-based forum posts. Or put in your site's . I use the Cloudflare R2 storage which offers zero egress fees. So I pay $0 of transfer costs. I added a simple anti-nsfw files check and a simple anti-malware check. Please do not try to break it. Thanks! (>‿◠)

    Hello, Hacker News community! I’m Gary, the founder of Vizard.ai. I am thrilled to introduce you to our cutting-edge AI video editing tool that is designed to help content creators/marketers/businesses alike to repurpose long-form webinar/event/speech videos into bite-size social-ready highlights. As a beginner in video editing, I struggled with the complexity of professional video editing software like Adobe Premiere Pro or Apple Final Cut Pro. I found it overwhelming and challenging to use, and I would eventually abandon my efforts to edit videos. But I knew that video…

    Over the past year I uploaded a bunch of videos to my personal channel. Most of them were short documentaries, news-style edits, or content covering current events and war. A lot of it ended up getting demonetized, age-restricted, or removed completely, usually without any clear reason or explanation. The worst part was not knowing what caused it. You upload something, it seems fine for a while, and then it disappears or gets buried. I spent days editing videos that ended up dead in the water because of things I couldn’t see coming. I started building a tool to help with this. Just something…

    Hi HN, I’m Ashu, founder of VideoDB. I’ve spent a big chunk of my life building video infrastructure. Not video creation. Video plumbing. The stuff you only learn after production breaks: timebases, VFR, keyframes, audio sync drift, container quirks, partial uploads, live streams, retries, backpressure, codecs, ffmpeg flags, cost blowups, and “why is this clip unseekable on one player but fine on another”. This week we shared VideoDB Skills, a skill pack that lets AI agents call those infra primitives directly, instead of you wiring pipelines with screenshots plus FFmpeg glue. Repo:…

    Hey HN, I'm Kamal, a 20 year old builder from India, with a team of 4. I was building an AI-powered course builder initially, and once we started getting some paying customers biggest problem that we encountered was teaching them how to use the product. I wanted to create help centre but I couldn't, probably the procrastination, because I felt like it was a huge task. So, me and my co-founder decided to make creating videos and guides for this help centre fast and easy. This is where Kroto comes in, you just record a product/process walkthrough and it generates studio quality how-to…
