Turn a video of an app into a functional prototype with Claude Opus
Hey everyone, I’m the maintainer of the popular screenshot-to-code repo on Github (46k+ stars). When Claude Opus was released, I thought to myself what if you could send in a video of yourself using a website or app, would the LLM be able to build it as a functional prototype? To my surprise, it worked quite well. Here are two examples: * In this video, you can see the AI replicating Google with auto-complete suggestions and a search results page (failed at putting the results on a separate page). https://streamable.com/s24pq6 * Here, we show it a multi-step form…
Turn a video of an app into a functional prototype with Claude Opus launched on March 21, 2024 with 17 votes, #1,194 of 4,270 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.
In plain words
This tool converts videos of app or website interactions into functional prototypes using Claude Opus. Users submit a video of themselves using an application, and the AI extracts frames to analyze the interface and behavior, then generates working code that replicates the demonstrated functionality. It successfully recreates features like search interfaces with autocomplete and multi-step forms. Built by the maintainer of the popular screenshot-to-code repository, it's designed for developers and designers who want to quickly prototype interfaces based on video demonstrations.

Drop in a screenshot and convert it to clean code (HTML/Tailwind/React/Vue) - Screen Recording to Code · abi/screenshot-to-code Wiki
Capture a screen recording of a website or app in action and have the AI build a functional prototype for you. IMPORTANT: Since this is an experimental feature and each LLM call is expensive (a few dollars), I would highly recommend setting up usage limits on your Anthropic account to avoid excessfrom github.com

I completed shipping my desktop app2025 · pimosa.app · ▲526Hi, 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…
Claude-replay – A video-like player for Claude Code sessionsMar 2026 · github.com · ▲105I got tired of sharing AI demos with terminal screenshots or screen recordings. Claude Code already stores full session transcripts locally as JSONL files. Those logs contain everything: prompts, tool calls, thinking blocks, and timestamps. I built a small CLI tool that converts those logs into an interactive HTML replay. You can step through the session, jump through the timeline, expand tool calls, and inspect the full conversation. The output is a single self-contained HTML file — no dependencies. You can email it, host it anywhere, embed it in a blog post, and it works on mobile. Repo:…
Qudemo2025 · qudemo.com · ▲195Hey everyone, I’m Jazeem, founder of Qudemo - https://qudemo.com I along with Sarath, built Qudemo because we realised that sharing pre-recorded demo videos on Loom or YouTube is still just a one-way video. You can see some basic stats like views and watch time, but you still don’t really know who watched, what they cared about, or if they were actually interested. Qudemo fixes that. It turns your pre-recorded demo videos into interactive, trackable and shareable experiences. So you can finally see what happens after you hit “share.” Here’s how it works: * Upload or link your demo…
