A video editing SDK that runs in the browser
Hello HN, Video content is more popular than ever, but the toolkit for creating such content is a bit behind. You usually have to rely on a server for rendering whenever you want to create a video editing project in the browser. This means uploading content to a server, coding complex filters and effects, and more. My friend and I spent a year developing an SDK that handles all these complexities and offers an easy-to-use interface for developers. The SDK works entirely in the browser, manages memory efficiently so it can run even on a 7-year-old Android device, supports GLSL effects and…

In plain words
This browser-based video editing SDK enables developers to build video editing applications without server-side rendering. It runs entirely in the browser with efficient memory management, supporting older devices like seven-year-old Android phones. The SDK includes GLSL effects and transitions, caption handling, and a custom UI editor demonstrating its capabilities. Built with TypeScript and Pixi.js, it simplifies complex video processing tasks for developers.

Rendley is a video automation platform. Our editing agent creates and edits your videos automatically, and you can open the editor to adjust anything.
Our video editing agent creates and edits your videos automatically. You can always open the editor and adjust anything. Describe the job and it watches the footage, cuts it, captions it, and renders. You review a finished video instead of building one. Open the timeline and change any clip, caption, or track. Nothing it makes is a locked export. Seedance, Kling, Veo, Nano Banana, and ElevenLabs, on one balance and one bill. The same jobs over REST, on the same plan. One key, one endpoint, an editable project back. Our AI agent watches your footage, picks the best moments, and assembles a full edit with cuts, captions, and B-roll. You refine from there. Set up your visual identity once.…from rendley.com

Hey everyone, for the past like six months I've been working on a portfolio project. I got tired of doing easy projects, so I decided to tackle something bigger and more challenging. That's when I came up with the idea of a video editor. This piece of work is intended to showcase my skills and land me a job, but I like to think when working on projects that my idea is so cool that people will like to use it, and I treat every project like a startup idea. Also I havent seen many open source video editors especially on web so that was one of the points why I decided to make that and not…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Many years ago, I made VJ softwares (to mix live visuals in clubs) for unexpected platforms like the Game Boy Advance, the Playstation 2 and the Raspberry Pi. This year, I’m back with a new web-app: Pikimov. Inspired by Photopea (a free Photoshop clone), I created this web-based motion design & video editor as an alternative to After Effects, to fill empty void. It's free, without signup, without cloud uploads (your files stay on your machine), and your projects are not used for AI models training.
