Movis – A Video Editing Library in Python
Originally, this library was created due to my motivation to make videos in Python. Of course, I considered other Python libraries, but I decided to create a new library for video editing because I needed the following features and also for study purposes: - The existence of composition. Especially, the ability to perform advanced video editing by inserting compositions within compositions. - The ability to add animations based on keyframes. - Effects like chroma key and drop shadow. - A caching mechanism to render the same frame quickly. - Various blending modes. These features, despite…

In plain words
Movis is a Python library for creating and editing videos programmatically. It enables nested compositions, keyframe-based animations, effects like chroma key and drop shadow, frame caching, and multiple blending modes. Designed for developers who need to generate videos automatically from code, Movis provides video editing capabilities typically found in professional software but previously unavailable in Python libraries.

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…

SpeedVitals▲829Hi HN, I’m Kashish, one of the co-founders of SpeedVitals, a platform for testing & monitoring website performance with a major emphasis on Core Web Vitals. Until now, our platform has only focused on Synthetic/Lab testing, such as Lighthouse tests and TTFB tests. But now, we have developed a Real-User Monitoring platform that doubles up as a Web Analytics tool. One major feature we have that most RUM tools lack is Performance Audits. Just like Lighthouse audits work on Lab test data, our audits work across all the real-user visits and gives suggestions on what task to prioritize first.…
