Show HN: I built the most over-engineered Deal With It emoji generator

832 points by klimeryk 2y ago

Hi, all! Author here. What started as a small tool I built for a job interview, became "The Most Over-engineered Deal With It Emoji Generator": - All operations done fully client-side - no backend, no private data leaves your browser. - Uses machine learning models (MediaPipe Face Detector task) to automatically scale and position glasses on the detected faces. - Extensive customization options for glasses: - Placement of glasses anywhere on the input image (including slightly going outside it). - Change the size of glasses. - No limit on the number of glasses. - Flip the glasses vertically or horizontally. - Customize the direction from which the glasses appear on the image. - Different types of glasses. - GIF output options: - Looping mode. - Number of frames. - Frame delay. - Separate delay setting for last frame. - Output size. - Celebration confetti - Easter eggs. I've been working remotely for the last >9 years. When using non-verbal communication, it's important that your tone and intent comes across accurately.. Custom emojis became for me part of expressing yourself, creating bonds and camaraderie. I've originally created an MVP of this tool while applying for a exciting new job opportunity. As a showcase of my passion for programming, building teams and creating delightful user experiences. Unfortunately, they were not impressed and ultimately did not offer me the job :( But I wanted to polish it and release it for everyone to use for free, so that you can too "Deal With It"! I have more ideas for even more features (check GitHub[1]), but wanted to launch it and see what's the feedback and ideas from the community! And if you're looking for a Fullstack Developer with >14 years of experience, with passion for great customer experience (remote work or locally in Iceland), let's chat!

it's useless thence I love it. I lied, in fact I just used it to create a couple Slack emojis.
- klimeryk 2y ago
  > it's useless thence I love it. That's what kept me going while adding more features :D Just the joy of creating something so useless, but still capable of bringing smile to my (and hopefully your too!) faces. Glad you love it!

I like it... faved for future fuckery. Can you add background photo rotation or shades rotation?
- klimeryk 2y ago
  Yup, shades rotation is on the roadmap: https://github.com/klimeryk/dealwithit/issues/30 https://github.com/klimeryk/dealwithit/issues/30. Hope to get it done some time today/tomorrow. Most pieces are ready, just need to figure out a good UX for the rotate handle. Worst case scenario, it can be also an input field. Background photo rotation - could you share what would be the use case? The output would be a bit weird, since it has to be square, so either it needs to be cropped (so now there needs to be crop feature ;)) or there will be blank spaces. Honest question, I might be missing some interesting use case! But hopefully, rotating the shades would solve for most of these.
  - pelagicAustral 2y ago
    Background photo rotation is the over-engineered alternative to shade rotation...
    - klimeryk 2y ago
      Hahaha, roger that! I mean, it would be in line with the whole premise of the tool... I should implement it so that the whole tool/page rotates around the glasses XD
chankstein38 2y ago
This is great! I always joke with my girlfriend about people in billboards or whatever needing deal with it glasses and will likely use this regularly haha Thank you!
llampx 2y ago
This could be a reCAPTCHA test, to train the models to better detect eye position and face angle.
- klimeryk 2y ago
  It's already using https://ai.google.dev/edge/mediapipe/solutions/vision/face_detector https://ai.google.dev/edge/mediapipe/solutions/vision/face_d... for detecting the eye (and nose) position for the perfect fit ;) The face detection should be done locally, so hopefully Google is not fine-tuning their models based on this.

> Unfortunately, they were not impressed and ultimately did not offer me the job :( Sorry to hear that. No recruiting process is perfect. They often get it wrong, as they clearly did here!
- klimeryk 2y ago
  Thank you! Yeah, I totally understand and not taking it against them. It's impossible to always get the right impression and fit for the candidate (even if it was based on a few interviews and trial, like here). So I figured I'd make the best of the situation and share the project with others! Hoping to make some new connections this way, and maybe find an even better opportunity!
- Aeolun 2y ago
  The only thing I can imagine is that they were up against someone making a partyparrot generator.

  Yeah, this is pretty cool and they can fuck off.

  I interviewed a developer once who was super junior on paper but had a side project of a fully featured desktop anime episode to watch/watched tracker with lots of library feature features. Hire. Interviewed another Dev who made arcade sticks as a side project. Hired. You can't teach passion. Hire all that passionate people you can. Tech stacks are irrelevant compared to the love of building things.

Used in WhatsApp on iOS the last frame didn’t stay, it seems to stop instantly and/or loop back to too early. IIRC I used 20 frames, 250ms between frame and 2500ms for the last one. Seems to have a similar problem on Telegram. Otherwise incredible. The customization options are much appreciated.
- summermusic 2y ago
  This is a known problem for Telegram at least. It cuts off the last frame regardless of that frame's duration. I work around this by adding a single identical frame for 1ms at the end of the GIF. Source: I've made way too many GIFs for Telegram.

Great way to promote yourself. Well done!

This is useless, I can't make the glasses come from below, in addition to coming from above. Also, glasses can only be black? We demand a color palette for glass colour. EDIT: wait, I managed to make the glasses come from below blob:https://emoji.build/50c07035-efb9-4341-9205-30adfd6b088e https://emoji.build/50c07035-efb9-4341-9205-30adfd6b088e I retract my indignation on the one half of my requests, but transfer it doubly so for the request of a colour palette
- klimeryk 2y ago
  > We demand a color palette for glass colour. You can choose different styles of glasses. But, yeah, they're all black-ish. Definitely open to different colors/styles! I've created a new issue with some possible solutions and will look into it: https://github.com/klimeryk/dealwithit/issues/33 https://github.com/klimeryk/dealwithit/issues/33 (but PRs are welcome too!)
- barryrandall 2y ago
  That feature was removed because half the people who want black frames were offended that the app offered options that they didn't want to use.
  - cheschire 2y ago
    Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked, have been sacked.
  - TZubiri 2y ago
    What's interesting is that the moment that you introduce a feature that allows for sharing of the images, and you need a backend to host the images. You enter a world of pain where you inevitably will end up hosting illegal material, and it turns from a fun project to a serious project.
    - klimeryk 2y ago
      Yeah, that's why I'm keeping everything client-side. There's no backend. This is hosted on Cloudflare Pages, everything on the backend is static. Definitely not looking to host any generated images.
teqsun 2y ago
That's fantastic stuff! Minor UX notes: - clicking the header doesn't navigate back to the "home" screen - singular page history (so the back button doesn't take you back to the previous page state) Combined it made it not intuitive for me how to "get rid" of the selection I'd created (I eventually figured it out, but the previous two points were what I intuitively tried first)
- klimeryk 2y ago
  > clicking the header doesn't navigate back to the "home" screen - singular page history (so the back button doesn't take you back to the previous page state) Could you describe in more detail this? I'm not sure I agree that state changes should be pushed to browser history. In my experience this usually leads to confusing user experience. But that might be also just years of conditioning and I'm missing some best practices. So happy to learn more.
  - teqsun 2y ago
    My natural instinct to return to the "default" view (as in, how the page looked the very first time before I interacted with anything) was to click the header text at the top (that says "deal with it"). Same as you click the "Hacker News" text at the top to return to the default home page view. Just as something to be a quick "oops, didn't want to use that image, I want to go back to how the site is when I first visited it", and essentially wipe the state. The history stuff is secondary, since that was my second instinct after trying to find and hit a "home" button, just from my personal UX perspective.

It seems some memes just stick forever :)
morkalork 2y ago
Please please please add a blunt/joint option. I think my favorite ever use of this meme was in Colossal (2016).
devmor 2y ago
I adore it. I would love the ability to add frame delay (and maybe start/end position/rotation tweening?!) to each layer of glasses.
- klimeryk 2y ago
  I think we're thinking of the same thing here: https://github.com/klimeryk/dealwithit/issues/22 https://github.com/klimeryk/dealwithit/issues/22 That's part of the reason I made the list of glasses draggable/sortable. Because I want to add the ability to specify which glasses should appear together and which ones should appear in a sequence. So many features to implement, so this one did not make it for the launch, but it's definitely on the roadmap!
  - devmor 2y ago
    Exactly what I meant! I now look forward to your future work with more excitement than most actual products.
dsalaj 2y ago
Cool, thanks! It desperately needs the copping feature for the original image, so I don't need other tools.
jihadjihad 2y ago
It's great. I wish you could paste an image URL too, that would be slick. Oh, and it would be cool to have an option for the meme text to go under the image too, and to appear in the final frame of motion for the glasses. For now, I can DEAL WITH IT!
- klimeryk 2y ago
  > It's great. I wish you could paste an image URL too, that would be slick. Good suggestion - implemented in https://github.com/klimeryk/dealwithit/commit/12c2254e4a1e5f93eac0693e22631a23f80cc4ef https://github.com/klimeryk/dealwithit/commit/12c2254e4a1e5f... > Oh, and it would be cool to have an option for the meme text to go under the image too, and to appear in the final frame of motion for the glasses Yup, on my radar!

  Thank you! It was my first time using Tailwind CSS (and antd). Wanted to try them out for a while, so figured it's a nice opportunity.
jammaloo 2y ago
Hell yeah, this is great. I made a similar, but much worse, thing a while back https://jammaloo.com/DealWithIt/ https://jammaloo.com/DealWithIt/ It uses face-api.js to find the face, and then move the sunglasses over it. It's about a 5 meg model, so it's pretty slow to load. You can customize with a URL, or drag and drop an image on. Resizing the browser also moves the glasses around. Very happy to see someone take the idea way way way further!
- klimeryk 2y ago
  Heck yeah! Love the touches like resize handling or rotation support! Contributions are more than welcome... hint hint ;) > It uses face-api.js to find the face Yeah, I'm using Google AI's Face Detector [1]. There's Tensorflow's Face Landmarks Detection [2] that looked most promising and accurate. But it had two bugs [3][4] that are blockers. The first one got fixed recently, but the other one is still pending.

ninju 2y ago
Found a bug If *after* generating a gif you change the gif size (bigger in my case) the new gif has the sunglasses appear in the same place. But if I change the size first and then generate everything work fine. Hope I explained it right
- klimeryk 2y ago
  I immediately knew what you meant, because I ran into the bug while testing earlier today and apparently forgot to file it. So thanks for reporting - I've filed it now properly and should have it fixed soon.
  - Krei-se 2y ago
    Hey man, awesome job and while i'm hitting that same bug: Changing to 512px does not resize the glasses for me and it's on the wrong placement. This is great for mastodon replies so PLEASE make this work. Hang tight!
- klimeryk 2y ago

steve_adams_86 2y ago
Thanks for sharing this. I love tiny projects like this, especially if they’re over engineered. The job market is rough. I have no doubt you were considered, and they were interested, but everyone is giving their all right now. Someone likely submitted something even cooler, somehow.
- yieldcrv 2y ago
  > somehow yeah by recycling their project from a previous interview and adding more to it I just don't engage in that kind of assessment anymore, the job market isn’t thaaaat tough to need to compromise or, put another way, jumping through that hoop will not solve your interview progress as its just far too subjective. other hoops are just as fine
  - klimeryk 2y ago
    To clarify - I wrote this tool as my own initiative. On top of the "normal" process (that involved multiple interviews and a day paid trial). I was really excited about the opportunity and wanted to go the extra mile.
  - gxs 2y ago
    Dude I’m often on interview panels and some of the other interviewers are insufferable. When they give feedback, they love getting on their soapbox and critiquing others as if they were Olympic judges or something. I’ve had to hold myself back from saying bro we wouldn’t hire you yourself if this criteria actually had to be met. Some hiring managers require all this elaborate prep work and it’s such bullshit, imo it’s a total cop out to have people do so much work as part of the interview process. It’s the lazy way of evaluating someone versus thoughtfully putting together a good hiring process and conducting effective interviews.
    - steve_adams_86 2y ago
      I’ve had the same experience many times where the people I’m interviewing candidates with wouldn’t get hired under the same conditions. They tend to be early hires who have stuck around, and they’re super protective and defensive. Rather than welcome people to the team to learn from them and grow the team, they criticize and reject people like crazy. It’s very reactive rather than proactive behaviour, and it’s a bad sign to have it at a company.
underlines 2y ago
The company who didn't hire you will soon use your tool because they feel remorse for not hiring you, and now they have to "deal with it"
- klimeryk 2y ago
  Well, I'm using their tool in mine (hint is in one of the Easter Eggs... or just look at what's powering the product analytics ;)). So it's an ouroboros of open-source :D

zamadatix 2y ago
This is 100% the kind of thing I was hoping for when daydreaming "what will the internet be like 20 years from now" growing up. Cool design, hilariously overpowered backend to do something basic (but do it so well), and 0 of the corporate feeling or ad apocalypse. Awesome stuff!
- klimeryk 2y ago
  Hahah, so true! One clarification, though: while I'm sure the backend is overpowered (Cloudflare Pages, easily handling the Hug of Death from HN), but in this case it's only serving static resources. All the hard work is done by the hilariously overpowered devices we carry in our pockets or use for everything but serious work ;)
  - zamadatix 2y ago
    Oh 100%, the hosting is more than fitting. I had meant to refer to the app's non-UI code (machine learning to place meme glasses)! Apologies for the lack of clarity.
    - klimeryk 2y ago
      Ah, gotcha! Hahah, yeah, I'm sure this is exactly the use case folks were thinking of when dreaming of AI applications decades ago...

silisili 2y ago
This is actually really neat. I like the configurability. Is there an option to change glasses size that I missed? I think that's the only thing I noticed I couldn't do when playing around with it. * Found it, there is a small indicator in bottom right of glasses that allows dragging out to resize. Thanks all!
- _puk 2y ago
  Drag to resize
- tonymarks 2y ago
  on a desktop you can click the glasses to resize them
  - klimeryk 2y ago
    On mobile it should work too (at least when I tested on recent iPhones). The drag handle is a bit small, though. Just aim for bottom right corner of the glasses.

I'm a Google employee. After looking at this demo I can tell you're spiritually a Googler in ways I can't quite articulate.
- bethemoly 2y ago
  Interesting take.
- moffkalast 2y ago
  Well if people start using it and like it a lot, only for him to then suddenly delete the whole thing without warning... then he'd truly be a Googler. ;)

    This feels more like an internal tool that will be used forever

- j_bum 2y ago
  I’m sorry, but this comment reads as “culty” to me. Google has 180,000+ employees, of which tens of thousands must be engineers. What does “Googler” mean. Someone who is passionate, hacky, and creative? If so, why do we need to slap a corporate label onto them? Can’t you just describe them as such? I’m not trying to be cynical or rude, but this just feels wrong to me.
  - asdfman123 2y ago
    Every company has a corporate culture, including Google, and my comment has a heavy dose of self deprecation in it.

Thank you Slack? For the confusing use of "emoji" instead "animated GIF" or sticker.
- below43 2y ago
  Thank you. As a non-Slack user, this explains a lot. I was somewhat disappointed that this didn't generate actual emojis.
  - radicality 2y ago
    Would that even make sense, to “generate emojis” ? They are defined by the Unicode emoji specs like here: https://unicode.org/reports/tr51/ https://unicode.org/reports/tr51/ I guess it would need to generate all possible emojis given by the spec? Supposing it did generate all emojis, is there even a way to “install” it for example iOS ?
- radicality 2y ago
  I’m similarly annoyed by Discord’s term “server”. Only recently started using Discord, and joined various “servers”, which seem as basically just groups with chats. When I was prompted to create my own “server”, at first was hesitant thinking “whoa, I don’t want them to provision a whole server for me, that can’t be cheap”, then realized it has nothing to do with actual servers.
  - SlackingOff123 2y ago
    In the Discord API, "servers" are called "guilds" which I assume it was the original name for them when they started developing the platform. Don't know why they decided to change it.
    - TheNicholasNick 2y ago
      Suspect, pure speculation, when they pivoted from being focused on gamers, switching from guild to server helped.

  - klimeryk 2y ago
    No, it's correct - for some reason, the library expects centisecs O.o See https://github.com/jimp-dev/gifwrap?tab=readme-ov-file#new_GifFrame_new https://github.com/jimp-dev/gifwrap?tab=readme-ov-file#new_G... Although, I will admit I never waited 24 hours (or even 2.4 hours) to verify ;)
    - hmry 2y ago
      It's because that's what the GIF file format uses :)

        Ah, I see, that makes more sense then. TIL, thank you!

Nice job. Although I disagree with the adjective "over-engineered". I think it means using too much machinery to accomplish a simple task (bad), where here it seems to mean having lots of options (good).

m000 2y ago
Well done! I had built something similar, but as a cli tool. It must still be sitting on my old laptop, never took the time to spin it up as a service. What I miss feature-wise from my variant is text. IIRC, I had two lines of text (top and bottom, rendered in capital Impact of course) that were configurable on when they appear and for how long. The main use of the text was to tease friends supporting rival sports teams after lost games. E.g. "STILL THE BEST" "DEAL WITH IT".

pelagicAustral 2y ago

I like it... faved for future fuckery. Can you add background photo rotation or shades rotation?

klimeryk 2y ago
Yup, shades rotation is on the roadmap: https://github.com/klimeryk/dealwithit/issues/30 https://github.com/klimeryk/dealwithit/issues/30. Hope to get it done some time today/tomorrow. Most pieces are ready, just need to figure out a good UX for the rotate handle. Worst case scenario, it can be also an input field. Background photo rotation - could you share what would be the use case? The output would be a bit weird, since it has to be square, so either it needs to be cropped (so now there needs to be crop feature ;)) or there will be blank spaces. Honest question, I might be missing some interesting use case! But hopefully, rotating the shades would solve for most of these.
- pelagicAustral 2y ago
  Background photo rotation is the over-engineered alternative to shade rotation...
  - klimeryk 2y ago
    Hahaha, roger that! I mean, it would be in line with the whole premise of the tool... I should implement it so that the whole tool/page rotates around the glasses XD

This could be a reCAPTCHA test, to train the models to better detect eye position and face angle.

klimeryk 2y ago
It's already using https://ai.google.dev/edge/mediapipe/solutions/vision/face_detector https://ai.google.dev/edge/mediapipe/solutions/vision/face_d... for detecting the eye (and nose) position for the perfect fit ;) The face detection should be done locally, so hopefully Google is not fine-tuning their models based on this.

klimeryk 2y ago
Thank you! Yeah, I totally understand and not taking it against them. It's impossible to always get the right impression and fit for the candidate (even if it was based on a few interviews and trial, like here). So I figured I'd make the best of the situation and share the project with others! Hoping to make some new connections this way, and maybe find an even better opportunity!

klabb3 2y ago

Used in WhatsApp on iOS the last frame didn’t stay, it seems to stop instantly and/or loop back to too early. IIRC I used 20 frames, 250ms between frame and 2500ms for the last one. Seems to have a similar problem on Telegram. Otherwise incredible. The customization options are much appreciated.

summermusic 2y ago
This is a known problem for Telegram at least. It cuts off the last frame regardless of that frame's duration. I work around this by adding a single identical frame for 1ms at the end of the GIF. Source: I've made way too many GIFs for Telegram.

This is useless, I can't make the glasses come from below, in addition to coming from above. Also, glasses can only be black? We demand a color palette for glass colour. EDIT: wait, I managed to make the glasses come from below blob:https://emoji.build/50c07035-efb9-4341-9205-30adfd6b088e https://emoji.build/50c07035-efb9-4341-9205-30adfd6b088e I retract my indignation on the one half of my requests, but transfer it doubly so for the request of a colour palette

klimeryk 2y ago
> We demand a color palette for glass colour. You can choose different styles of glasses. But, yeah, they're all black-ish. Definitely open to different colors/styles!

  What's interesting is that the moment that you introduce a feature that allows for sharing of the images, and you need a backend to host the images. You enter a world of pain where you inevitably will end up hosting illegal material, and it turns from a fun project to a serious project.
  - klimeryk 2y ago
    Yeah, that's why I'm keeping everything client-side. There's no backend. This is hosted on Cloudflare Pages, everything on the backend is static. Definitely not looking to host any generated images.

teqsun 2y ago

That's fantastic stuff! Minor UX notes: - clicking the header doesn't navigate back to the "home" screen - singular page history (so the back button doesn't take you back to the previous page state) Combined it made it not intuitive for me how to "get rid" of the selection I'd created (I eventually figured it out, but the previous two points were what I intuitively tried first)

klimeryk 2y ago
> clicking the header doesn't navigate back to the "home" screen - singular page history (so the back button doesn't take you back to the previous page state) Could you describe in more detail this? I'm not sure I agree that state changes should be pushed to browser history. In my experience this usually leads to confusing user experience. But that might be also just years of conditioning and I'm missing some best practices. So happy to learn more.
- teqsun 2y ago
  My natural instinct to return to the "default" view (as in, how the page looked the very first time before I interacted with anything) was to click the header text at the top (that says "deal with it"). Same as you click the "Hacker News" text at the top to return to the default home page view. Just as something to be a quick "oops, didn't want to use that image, I want to go back to how the site is when I first visited it", and essentially wipe the state. The history stuff is secondary, since that was my second instinct after trying to find and hit a "home" button, just from my personal UX perspective.

devmor 2y ago

I adore it. I would love the ability to add frame delay (and maybe start/end position/rotation tweening?!) to each layer of glasses.

klimeryk 2y ago
I think we're thinking of the same thing here: https://github.com/klimeryk/dealwithit/issues/22 https://github.com/klimeryk/dealwithit/issues/22 That's part of the reason I made the list of glasses draggable/sortable. Because I want to add the ability to specify which glasses should appear together and which ones should appear in a sequence. So many features to implement, so this one did not make it for the launch, but it's definitely on the roadmap!
- devmor 2y ago
  Exactly what I meant! I now look forward to your future work with more excitement than most actual products.

dsalaj 2y ago

Cool, thanks! It desperately needs the copping feature for the original image, so I don't need other tools.

jihadjihad 2y ago

It's great. I wish you could paste an image URL too, that would be slick. Oh, and it would be cool to have an option for the meme text to go under the image too, and to appear in the final frame of motion for the glasses. For now, I can DEAL WITH IT!

jammaloo 2y ago

Hell yeah, this is great. I made a similar, but much worse, thing a while back https://jammaloo.com/DealWithIt/ https://jammaloo.com/DealWithIt/ It uses face-api.js to find the face, and then move the sunglasses over it. It's about a 5 meg model, so it's pretty slow to load. You can customize with a URL, or drag and drop an image on. Resizing the browser also moves the glasses around. Very happy to see someone take the idea way way way further!

klimeryk 2y ago

Contributions are more than welcome... hint hint ;) > It uses face-api.js to find the face Yeah, I'm using Google AI's Face Detector [1].

Thanks for sharing this. I love tiny projects like this, especially if they’re over engineered. The job market is rough. I have no doubt you were considered, and they were interested, but everyone is giving their all right now. Someone likely submitted something even cooler, somehow.

yieldcrv 2y ago
> somehow yeah by recycling their project from a previous interview and adding more to it I just don't engage in that kind of assessment anymore, the job market isn’t thaaaat tough to need to compromise or, put another way, jumping through that hoop will not solve your interview progress as its just far too subjective. other hoops are just as fine
- klimeryk 2y ago
  To clarify - I wrote this tool as my own initiative. On top of the "normal" process (that involved multiple interviews and a day paid trial). I was really excited about the opportunity and wanted to go the extra mile.
- gxs 2y ago
  Dude I’m often on interview panels and some of the other interviewers are insufferable. When they give feedback, they love getting on their soapbox and critiquing others as if they were Olympic judges or something. I’ve had to hold myself back from saying bro we wouldn’t hire you yourself if this criteria actually had to be met. Some hiring managers require all this elaborate prep work and it’s such bullshit, imo it’s a total cop out to have people do so much work as part of the interview process. It’s the lazy way of evaluating someone versus thoughtfully putting together a good hiring process and conducting effective interviews.
  - steve_adams_86 2y ago
    I’ve had the same experience many times where the people I’m interviewing candidates with wouldn’t get hired under the same conditions. They tend to be early hires who have stuck around, and they’re super protective and defensive. Rather than welcome people to the team to learn from them and grow the team, they criticize and reject people like crazy. It’s very reactive rather than proactive behaviour, and it’s a bad sign to have it at a company.

underlines 2y ago

The company who didn't hire you will soon use your tool because they feel remorse for not hiring you, and now they have to "deal with it"

This is 100% the kind of thing I was hoping for when daydreaming "what will the internet be like 20 years from now" growing up. Cool design, hilariously overpowered backend to do something basic (but do it so well), and 0 of the corporate feeling or ad apocalypse. Awesome stuff!

klimeryk 2y ago
Hahah, so true! One clarification, though: while I'm sure the backend is overpowered (Cloudflare Pages, easily handling the Hug of Death from HN), but in this case it's only serving static resources. All the hard work is done by the hilariously overpowered devices we carry in our pockets or use for everything but serious work ;)
- zamadatix 2y ago
  Oh 100%, the hosting is more than fitting. I had meant to refer to the app's non-UI code (machine learning to place meme glasses)! Apologies for the lack of clarity.

This is actually really neat. I like the configurability. Is there an option to change glasses size that I missed?

_puk 2y ago
Drag to resize
tonymarks 2y ago
on a desktop you can click the glasses to resize them
- klimeryk 2y ago
  On mobile it should work too (at least when I tested on recent iPhones). The drag handle is a bit small, though. Just aim for bottom right corner of the glasses.

Thank you. As a non-Slack user, this explains a lot. I was somewhat disappointed that this didn't generate actual emojis.
- radicality 2y ago
  Would that even make sense, to “generate emojis” ? They are defined by the Unicode emoji specs like here: https://unicode.org/reports/tr51/ https://unicode.org/reports/tr51/ I guess it would need to generate all possible emojis given by the spec? Supposing it did generate all emojis, is there even a way to “install” it for example iOS ?
radicality 2y ago
I’m similarly annoyed by Discord’s term “server”. Only recently started using Discord, and joined various “servers”, which seem as basically just groups with chats. When I was prompted to create my own “server”, at first was hesitant thinking “whoa, I don’t want them to provision a whole server for me, that can’t be cheap”, then realized it has nothing to do with actual servers.
- SlackingOff123 2y ago
  In the Discord API, "servers" are called "guilds" which I assume it was the original name for them when they started developing the platform. Don't know why they decided to change it.
  - TheNicholasNick 2y ago
    Suspect, pure speculation, when they pivoted from being focused on gamers, switching from guild to server helped.

Sorry about that - it's a regression I caused last night, see https://github.com/klimeryk/dealwithit/issues/38 https://github.com/klimeryk/dealwithit/issues/38. It should be fixed since this morning UTC.

Great job, thanks for sharing. Just noticed what company you did leave and I have even more respect for you. Someone get this guy a job please.

Hah, appreciate it! It's been indeed quite a ride (and it seems the CEO is not stopping). Glad for the offer, it was the very last nudge I needed.

Looks cool, but getting an error in Safari after clicking "Deal with it!". Unhandled Promise Rejection: Error: Unsupported MIME type: application/xml On this line: Q = await getGlassesImages(p, D, O); This is a 2020 M1, Safari 17.6.

Yup, that's a regression I caused last night - see https://github.com/klimeryk/dealwithit/issues/38 https://github.com/klimeryk/dealwithit/issues/38. Should be fixed now.

Nice job. Although I disagree with the adjective "over-engineered". I think it means using too much machinery to accomplish a simple task (bad), where here it seems to mean having lots of options (good).

hahah dude this is great idea. This is something very fun to play with. Maybe you can consider to add more memes related data on it.

Must not know who ASAP Rocky is because it didn't deal with him

Well done! I had built something similar, but as a cli tool. It must still be sitting on my old laptop, never took the time to spin it up as a service. What I miss feature-wise from my variant is text. IIRC, I had two lines of text (top and bottom, rendered in capital Impact of course) that were configurable on when they appear and for how long. The main use of the text was to tease friends supporting rival sports teams after lost games. E.g. "STILL THE BEST" "DEAL WITH IT".

You have done great service to the internets

Your third official example works pretty bad for me (glasses are below eyes), but good luck with next iterations
