What it does
BookCraftr is an all-in-one book creation platform for indie authors. Write or import your manuscript, organise chapters, format professional eBook and paperback interiors, and preview every change as you work. Create correctly sized covers with the built-in template generator and Cover Designer, then export files ready for Amazon KDP and similar publishing services. Go from manuscript to publish-ready book in one streamlined workspace. Try it free for seven days, with no credit card required.
Create professional manuscripts with our powerful editor, dual previews, and export tools.
BookCraftr gives indie authors everything they need to write, format, preview, and design covers — all in one place. No more juggling Word, Vellum, Canva, and KDP tools. You write your manuscript in Word. You import it into Vellum to format it. You use Amazon’s cover calculator to get the right dimensions. Then you open Canva to design your cover. Finally, you upload everything to KDP and hope the formatting survived. Every tool switch is a chance for something to break — and hours of your time lost to busywork instead of writing. Word → Vellum → Canva → KDP. Each transition wastes time and risks formatting errors. Spine width, bleed, trim size — one wrong calculation means a rejected…from bookcraftr.com

Hi HN, I made a tool for self-publishing authors called SelfPubKit.com. The all-in-one editor allows you to write chapters, export them to epub, pdf. You can also publish product as a standalone website with direct payments set up with your Stripe account which means you get 100% of payments minus Stripe’s fee. The idea came about when I wanted to write a short guide myself. Anyhow, let me know what you think. I’ll share tech details in the comment below.

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
