Show HN: WanVideo – Wan 2.2 AI Video Generationhttps://www.wanvideo.tvHey HN! I built WanVideo (wanvideo.tv) to make the powerful Wan 2.2 video generation model accessible to everyone.## What is Wan 2.2?Wan 2.2 is an advanced AI video generation model that uses an optimized MoE (Mixture of Experts) architecture to create professional-quality videos. Key capabilities:- *Cinema-Grade Aesthetics*: Professional lighting, smooth camera movements, and cinematic effects without any filming equipment - *Natural Motion Dynamics*: Realistic human movements, accurate physics simulation, and believable character expressions - *Multi-Modal Input*: Generate from text descriptions or animate existing images - *Lightning Fast*: 5-10 minute generation (vs hours with other models)## Why We Chose Wan 2.2After testing multiple video generation models, Wan 2.2 stood out for its balance of quality and efficiency. The MoE architecture allows it to specialize different aspects of video generation (motion, lighting, scene composition) while maintaining fast inference times.## TeAug 1, 2025 9:29 AM

Show HN: I Recently Built a Projecthttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44580930I recently built a project called PIT (Phono In Terminal) — a terminal image viewer written in C that renders .png/.jpg images using actual RGB colors in your terminal (with optional 256-color fallback). What makes it different? Zero dependencies (just stb_image.h)Works even on very old or embedded systemsFully cross-platform (Linux, macOS, WSL, Windows Terminal, Termux, etc.)Compiles down to ~250 KBCLI options for zoom, flip, resize, offset, background fill, and moreDoesn’t require X11, SDL, or cursesHere's a screenshot from Termux showing Tux inside a text-mode terminal (demoed using ANSI blocks and real RGB shading): (HN doesn't support images, but you can try it yourself from the repo)Comparison with tiv: tiv is an excellent and mature tool (C++ + ImageMagick), optimized for Unicode and quality. PIT, on the other hand, is hyper-minimal — no dependencies, fully embeddable, and runs even in initramfs or micro distros.GitHub: https://github.com/Ferki-git-creator/phono-in-terminal-imagJul 16, 2025 11:17 AM

Show HN: Cutmuse – AI tool for haircut recommendations by face shapehttps://www.cutmuse.com/Hi HN,A few months ago, I started building Cutmuse after hearing the same thing over and over from friends and family:“I never know what haircut suits me.”The idea was to create a tool that uses AI and facial analysis to recommend personalized haircuts, hair colors, and even glasses based on each user’s unique features.You upload a photo (no login required or payment for the free version), and within minutes get a custom style report that includes:Haircuts that fit your face shapeHair color suggestions based on your skin toneEyewear styles that match your proportionsAnd optional grooming/skincare tipsThis isn't like Instagram filters or beauty apps that overlay random looks. What makes Cutmuse different is the depth of the analysis. It applies real visagism principles — a method used in professional image consulting — combined with facial landmark detection and color analysis to give you results that are not just aesthetic, but structured.We're currently live with users in 10+ countrieJun 22, 2025 4:56 AM

Show HN: Decksh – a DSL for presentations and data visualizationshttps://github.com/ajstarks/deckshdecksh is a domain-specific language for presentations, information displays, and data visualizations. I built decksh as a way to have complete control over my presentations, and to have a portable, documented, long-lasting format for information.decksh generates the deck[1] markup language which uses a percentage-based coordinate system, and may be rendered as PDF, SVG, or PNG. decksh is written in the Go programming language, and may be called as a library. The decksh object reference[2] describes the language.decksh works with text in many orientations (left, centered, end, rotated) as well as text and code blocks, images (GIF, PNG, JPG), graphics (lines, curve, arc, circle, rectangle, square, ellipse, polygon, polylines), along with composite objects (lists, arrows, braces, brackets).

Spent weeks building, not marketinghttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44013060Hey HN,We’ve spent the last few weeks pretty much glued to the computer, obsessing over product and ignoring everything else — including marketing. I just really wanted this to work.The project is ecomdesignlab.ai, an AI-powered fashion shoot generator. You upload clothing items, and it generates realistic model shots for ecommerce — no photo shoots needed.Until recently, our onboarding was way too limited. You could upload a fashion piece, but you had zero control over how it appeared — no way to pick the model’s pose, no background options. It worked, but it didn’t feel right, especially not for fashion founders who care a lot about brand and visual control.So I stayed off Twitter, off LinkedIn, off everything, and just built.Here’s what’s finally live:You can now choose poses and backgrounds before generating. This alone made the whole tool way more usable.Image generation time is now ~3 minutes, down from ~11 (which is still common in other tools).A cleaner, guided onboarding flow May 17, 2025 9:10 AM
