Generate high-res images of code samples with Chrome Headless

In plain words

This tool captures high-resolution images of code samples using Chrome Headless, a headless browser automation approach. It's designed for developers who need to generate polished code snippet visuals for documentation, presentations, or social media.

  Convert any screenshot into clean HTML code using GPT Vision (OSS tool)2023 · github.com · ▲358

  Hey everyone, I built a simple React/Python app that takes screenshots of websites and converts them to clean HTML/Tailwind code. It uses GPT-4 Vision to generate the code, and DALL-E 3 to create placeholder images. To run it, all you need is an OpenAI key with GPT vision access. I’m quite pleased with how well it works most of the time. Sometimes, the image generations can be hilariously off. See here for a replica of Taylor Swift’s Instagram page: https://streamable.com/70gow1 I initially had a hard time getting it to work on full page screenshots. GPT4 would code…

  Talanoa▲340

  Hi 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…
