  • Hacker News
  • Please remove git from your project's name. By your logic, every software project that uses git could have git in its name.
  • I've been doing little informational videos with Opus 5.5 [1]. The jump in capability floored me the first time I saw it in action. Clearly something happened in this last generation. That particular video took it about 45 minutes and I think it spent less than a $1 on OpenRouter for the voice over / sound.

  • IMO we need less "photoshop and blender for AI", more `rails new my_proj` for video.

    I have a project like this: it setups up a scaffolding: scripts, audio tracks, hot-reloading authoring UI, TTS/STT, sfx, music, shared-styles, beats, video composing, time-control for deterministic rendering, etc. Then you can use any web-technology to render (webGPU, Lottie, shadcn, SVG, whatever).

  • Feels like AI hit a key point in these last releases where their ability to edit videos jumped significantly.

    Someone at work recorded a demo of a new feature using Claude + https://github.com/veedstudio/open-edit

    It was pretty slick and he said he only did two passes on it. Not sure what it means for Adobe, but hopefully it lights a fire under them.

  • Gitframes seems like a confusing name, trying to piggyback off git popularity, while being unrelated.
  • Please not here. There are 20 vibe-coded "99% photoshop" projects posted every hour. It's a meme on r/vibecoding .
  • Info-dense, completely unreadable README.md file. Only the line "No Puppeteer, no Chromium IPC, no `page.screenshot()`" actually allowed me to figure out what this is about: creating video demos of your website (and probably other software as well) with an AI agent, rather than going through the conventional video-editing process.

    It's cool that so many people are building useful tools with LLMs, but for the love of ones and zeroes, people! PLEASE write your README by hand, instead of handing it off to the LLM with no human involvement! You know how unreadable LLM prose is! Why do you make that the first thing people see when they see your repo?

  • > Photoshop-, After Effects-, and Blender-class video tools

    Look, you can’t just write this. When you say something like this, you set the bar extremely high, and open yourself up to (totally fair!) criticism if Photoshop or After Effects gurus point out entire classes of use cases you aren’t handling.

    If you want people to talk about what your tool is good at, you need to stop inviting comparisons to titans like this. It will take you a long long time to build something as fully featured as them, and there is plenty of room for agent-focused tools that aren’t at that immense product scale.
