What it does

Getting a compliant passport/visa photo in Japan is oddly hard: exact size, precise head height, plain background. One wrong margin = a rejected application. Kotopig Visa Photo turns any selfie into a spec-compliant photo in under a minute — AI background removal + auto face alignment, matched to Japan's visa, zairyu card, driver's license & resume specs. 100% on-device: your photo never leaves the browser until you pay for the print-ready file. 中文/日本語/English, pay-once from ¥300.

Create Japan visa, residence card, passport, and My Number ID photos from your phone. AI background removal, auto face alignment, 600 DPI. Print at 7-Eleven or Lawson for 30 yen.

Strictly follows official requirements. 100% refund if the photo is not accepted by a governmentfrom visa.kotopig.com

    Hey HN, I’m Anton, and I’m building ishotaphoto.com (https://ishotaphoto.com) — essentially a free photobooth in your pocket. Just pick the type of document you need a photo for (Green Card lottery, Japan visa, China visa, etc.) — the app already knows all the current requirements. Then upload a selfie (or snap one with the iOS/Android app) and the app takes care of the rest: • Aligns your face • Removes the background • Ensures the correct head-to-photo ratio • Prepares the image with the correct size, dimensions, and format • Gives suggestions on expressions, smiles,…

    I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

    Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

  • A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

    Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
