Still running VideoToFlip — we turn short videos into handmade 72-page flipbooks (print/bind/ship in-house from our workshop in Serbia). Since the Show HN last year: rebuilt production so we don't outsource printing anymore,

I moved the entire Tailwind configuration into BCMS: colors, fonts, spacing, shadows, breakpoints, and more. The site consumes those values and can switch between completely different themes without changing the frontend code

A year ago, I posted here about how my wife and I convert videos into printed flipbooks for a living. It unexpectedly did well and brought a lot of attention, orders, and motivation. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4291

From this perspective, that makes total sense. We thought about it, but spinning up a dedicated replica would mean duplicating most of our infra, and I’ve always been hesitant about that.. it’s hard to guarantee it behaves exactly like prod

Thanks for this thoughtful perspective! Honestly, you’ve brought up a key point about quality control that we haven’t fully considered, and I completely agree. The last thing we want is our product ending up being judged unfairly due to sub

yes, this indeed feels like a retirement! just online, because we don't actually have a booth. we have separate machines, and most of the process is manual actually.

I haven’t held a flipbook like that in my hands, but the main benefit of ours is that you can upload any video from your phone anytime - you don’t need to be at a wedding. The downside, of course, is the delivery time

It's supplemental, but it's enough to make living where we live. When I first started, I worried about creating competition by sharing too much. But after 6 years of refining production, I've realized this product isn't

We evenly sample 72 frames from any video length. No required frame rate, but 12-24fps works best. Most people flip at around 10fps, so short, clear-motion clips work best. When you upload your video on the order page, you'll get an ac

We’re thinking of adding a DIY version where you can buy a pattern made from your video, print it at home or a local print shop, cut it, and bind it with a clip binder. Would that be something you’d find interesting?

We rarely get 3-10 identical orders, so there’s no calculator for it. For 10+, people contact us directly, and we offer custom options like branding and photo covers. But maybe we could add a page specifically for bulk orders, with some pri
