Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS. I’ve been a user since day 1. And I can honestly say, Pika provides one of the best AI video generation platforms in the AI video market today. I’ve tried practically all of them (Runway, Luma, Sora, Kling, MiniMax, etc.), and Pika always comes through as one of the more capable and versatile products in this space.Their mobile app is relatively new, and they don’t always port all of the features available on the web interface directly to the app right away. But they’re faster than most in translating new features to the mobile platform from their main web based interface.Quality-wise, the Pika 2.1 video generation model…from apps.apple.com

    Many years ago, I made VJ softwares (to mix live visuals in clubs) for unexpected platforms like the Game Boy Advance, the Playstation 2 and the Raspberry Pi. This year, I’m back with a new web-app: Pikimov. Inspired by Photopea (a free Photoshop clone), I created this web-based motion design & video editor as an alternative to After Effects, to fill empty void. It's free, without signup, without cloud uploads (your files stay on your machine), and your projects are not used for AI models training.

    I realized that the PDF engines of modern desktop browsers (PDFium and PDF.js) support JavaScript with enough I/O primitives to make a basic game like Tetris. It was a bit tricky to find a union of features that work in both engines, but in the end it turns out that showing/hiding annotation "fields" works well to make monochrome pixels, and keyboard input can be achieved by typing in a text input box. All in all it's quite janky but a nice reminder of how general purpose PDF scripting can be. The linked PDF is all ASCII so you can just open it in a text editor, or have a look at…

    I originally built this app to organize and reuse interesting React + Tailwind components I came across on Twitter, inspired by the shadcn/ui approach. Later, a friend started contributing their own components, and it got me thinking—this could grow into something bigger, like an NPM for design engineers to share and use components. Would love to hear your thoughts!
