In plain words
React Web Camera is a lightweight React component that lets users capture multiple photos in a single camera session directly in the browser, without closing and reopening the camera between shots. It works on web apps, responsive designs, and Progressive Web Apps, offering an alternative to the standard file input element. The component allows users to preview photos, remove unwanted ones, and batch-submit them, all processed client-side to maintain privacy.

Photoshop Clone Built in React2025 · github.com · ▲49I built React Photo Studio, a free image editor that runs entirely in the browser with React and WebGL. Right now only the brush tool is functional for drawing, while the rest of the interface is a prototype awaiting development. Everything is client side, no backend.

One – A new React framework unifying web, native and local-first2024 · onestack.dev · ▲506Hey HN, I'm Nate, the creator of Tamagui. One is a React framework that does two things differently in hopes of simplifying how we build websites and apps: 1. It unifies React Native and React web with typed file system routing by making Vite able to serve RN. This lets you share (or diverge) your code in a simpler way for cross-platform apps. 2. We've partnered with Zero (https://zerosync.dev) to make local-first work well. We've been building a solution in One that makes Zero supporting server rendering, without waterfalls, and with seamless server/client handoff. ---…
Convert any screenshot into clean HTML code using GPT Vision (OSS tool)2023 · github.com · ▲358Hey 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…

I built the world's most impractical 1000-pixel display and anyone in the world can draw on it. It draws a single pixel at a time and takes 30-60 minutes to complete a single image. Anyone can participate in the project by voting for the next image to be drawn, and submitting images. https://kilopx.com/

Kitten TTS is an open-source series of tiny and expressive text-to-speech models for on-device applications. We are excited to launch a preview of our smallest model, which is less than 25 MB. This model has 15M parameters. This release supports English text-to-speech applications in eight voices: four male and four female. The model is quantized to int8 + fp16, and it uses onnx for runtime. The model is designed to run literally anywhere eg. raspberry pi, low-end smartphones, wearables, browsers etc. No GPU required! We're releasing this to give early users a sense of the latency and voices…
