I made an open source desktop magnifier for demo and presentations
I wanted a cool magnifier for my presentations, but couldn't find one (the default windows one was not really usable for my case) So I built one using Vue and Tauri (weird stack for such a tool, huh?). It was a pretty fun little project, hope you guys can have some use. Here's how it works: - When you press the shortcut, it takes a screenshot and store it in a temp folder - It then displays an HTML window and passes the screenshot URL to it - The HTML window has no "decorations" (top bar) and only contains an empty div - This div uses the screenshot as a background and updates the background…

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hi, I'm a developer and first time i shipped the real product after observing the startups and indie hackers community for years. I had made so many useless apps [you should check my website https://ansh.life], but this time I built a very useful product that has a number of super easy-to-use tools in one app for video, music, and photo files. Users can compress, convert, resize, and do so much more with easy-to-use tools. Background: I developed a frame-by-frame video cropper to upload cropped landscape videos to Instagram Reels. However, it required FFmpeg, and as a noob video…
- OOOnlook – Open-source, visual-first Cursor for designers2025 · github.com · ▲408
Hey HN, I’m Kiet – one half of the two-person team building Onlook (https://beta.onlook.com/), an open-source [https://github.com/onlook-dev/onlook/] visual editor that lets you edit and create React apps live on an infinite canvas. We launched Onlook [1][2] as a local-first Electron app almost a year ago. Since then, “prompt-to-build” tools have blown up, but none let you design and iterate visually. We fixed that by taking a visual-first, AI-powered approach where you can prompt, style, and directly manipulate elements in your app like in a design…
- CAConvert 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…
- IMI made a screenshot beautifier2025 · moocup.jaydip.me · ▲43
I’ve always seen talented designers and developers post their work, only for it to get lost in the noise. I realized a major reason is that they often just post a simple, unstyled screenshot. As a result, nobody pays attention. My solution is a tool where you can drop in a screenshot, pick from a collection of hand-picked gradients, style it, and export it—all in a few seconds. I’ve carefully designed every element of the app to be efficient, simple, and intuitive. On making it "Free, Forever": I don't plan on ever charging a subscription for Moocup. I dislike the subscription model as much…
