It looks really cool, best of luck commercializing it however it seems a little too simple for that. It produces an image almost exactly like I've takes a photo of my monitor, so I could just take a photo of my monitor rather than buying the HD option? It's also possibly a bit too easy to replicate in an hour or so (e.g. apply image as a surface texture in threejs and screenshot/canvas-capture that, together with standard FX like bloom).

It was about 20 mins using React Three Fiber (not counting a bug filing related to their npm dependencies). https://snipboard.io/teiXnd.jpg https://snipboard.io/teiXnd.jpg Yours looks better, but mine is 120FPS with zoom/spin and gravity :)

Yeah, my impression is that monetizing could be worth it for professional bloggers, but then it would need to be more than a one trick pony like this. I'm also not sure if this is the only effect the app can do.

  I think it doesn't matter if you market well and make it easy, people do want things that make their live easier and in a very small way this is one of those. I built a thing to resize app icons/screenshots years ago and it still gets thousands of visitors per week: https://apetools.webprofusion.com/ https://apetools.webprofusion.com/ - I didn't get around to monetizing it though!

  Easy enough for ChatGPT? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34738699 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34738699 > Good idea for a website for portfolio but a good front end person can likely rig it up, I just did a version with asking chatGPT and dropping code into code pen. If there is a market there for you then someone will make a freebie. Than again maybe less tech savvy need weird things like this as they certainly do phone screenshot ones/ templates which could be an electron program or site mod of this https://codepen.io/gschier/pen/AgLYBE https://codepen.io/gschier/pen/AgLYBE

You could take a photo, but you'd need ideal circumstances - lighting, how clean your display is, and you need a camera for it, then strip EXIF data etc. And sure, most people here can replicate it, but you are the 1%, the other 99% is out there potentially looking and willing to pay for a tool like this.
