Image background removal without annoying subscriptions2023 · pixian.ai · ▲383Hi HN, Removing the background from images is a surprisingly common image processing task, and AI has made it really easy. The technology has come a long way since segment leader remove.bg launched here on hn in Dec 2018 [1]. Chasing remove.bg's success, a legion of providers have come on the market offering varying levels of quality & service. Despite there being a large number of competing services, most still price for very high (~95%?) gross margins. Furthermore, subscriptions make the effective unit price a lot higher than the list price for infrequent users, and requires effort &…
bgbusterOct 2025 · bgbuster.com · ▲13I got tired of how expensive background removal APIs are some charge almost €1 per image. So I built a simpler alternative: a pay-per-credit background removal API with no subscriptions and credits that never expire. You just buy credits, send an image, and get a clean background-free result in seconds. No account tiers, no monthly resets, just transparent pricing and easy integration. Built for developers who want to add background removal to their SaaS, e-commerce tools, or automation workflows without the crazy costs. https://bgbuster.com/

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…
