I feel like your second paragraph undermines the first one.

While Figma can be a useful tool for aligning design with code, I think it's unrealistic to expect it to accommodate all the constraints of the web platform. Relying solely on a 1-to-1 mapping between Figma components and code componen

Acknowledging that formalization typically occurs in the development process, it's worth noting that it's often the developer who initiates and enforces it. However, it would be beneficial for designers to see formalization as an

> The designers should be working with the developers to implement their vision I agree with the importance of this. I guess my gripe is with the fact that at the end of the day, the burden of formalizing anything that gets put on the we

OP here. I propose a concept to create a tool similar to Figma but focused on designing screen reader experiences. The goal is to encourage designers to formalize and structure their work in a way that would consider accessibility and user

Thanks for your comment! I'm glad it caught your attention and stood out as unique. Developing this has taken an inordinate amount of effort, so it's rewarding to see it recognised. I set out to create something different, and you

OP here! I can read it fine, personally. There's a trade-off between shininess and legibility.

OP here. This really blew up. I actually made this back in 2021 (doesn't seem long ago), and probably tried posting it to HN back then, to no avail. I just posted it again on a whim, because I felt I was on a roll with my previous post

OP here. LOL!

OP here. You are absolutely correct. I'm in a rural part of Norway which is nicknamed "Norges matfat" (which translates roughy to "Norway's dinner plate"), because of how so much of our produce comes from here.

OP here. I'm not quitting my day job anytime soon. It's a grind to get the word out in the first place, for one. The SaaS model covers some of the cost of running it, but it isn't a viable product on it's own just yet. I

OP here. Sorry to hear it. What browser and OS are you on?

OP here. Thank you very much for using it, and for the thoughtful comment.

OP here. Thanks! I know what I'm getting myself into when posting here. This crowd usually has strong reservations when it comes to subscription based business models, which I can understand. For me the monetization aspect is a necessa

OP here. As per the footer text: "Image processing is done in the browser. No image data is stored or transmitted."

OP here. I understand this instinct. In this case it doesn't actually get transferred, but stays on the client, as stated in the footer: "Image processing is done in the browser. No image data is stored or transmitted."

OP here. Sorry to disappoint you with the lack of animation. I have definitely entertained the idea of creating a video variant of this app. I fear it will remain a pipe dream due to the demands of my day job and family life.

OP here. There's a little more than that to it.

OP here. I don't do any cloud computing to deliver the service. It is essentially a pure JavaScript-application running on the client.

OP here. How would you monetize it?

OP here. Love to hear it!

OP here. Duly noted!

OP here. Thanks! And yeah, I will try to improve on the landing page.

OP here. A few others have made this point, and it's glaringly obvious to me in retrospect. Guess I have my work cut out for me.

OP here. I'm fantasising about making a video version of this app, to generate some very cool documentary-style Ken Burns-shit imagery.

by mikaelaast 4y ago
OP here. It's basically Ken-Burns-on-steroids vibes.

by mikaelaast 4y ago
OP here. Thanks for the advice. I have been considering a few different options. Perhaps I could have a preloaded screenshot with the UI already initialised, so I immediately can show off the functionality? I don't know what is the bes
