Show HN: Making video a software primitive (starting with generation)Every major computing primitive followed the same path:Text became a primitive when we had standards (UTF-8), instant rendering, near-zero cost Images became a primitive when we had standards (JPEG/PNG), CDNs, cheap storage APIs became a primitive when we had standards (REST), infrastructure (AWS), toolingVideo is next. The technology is getting there (Sora, Veo, Runway), but the infrastructure layer doesn't exist yet.I'm building that layer.What makes something a primitive: - Fast enough (instant or near-instant) - Cheap enough (marginal cost near zero) - Standard interfaces (abstraction layer) - Composable (programmatic manipulation) - Great DX (easy to integrate)Current status: - Multi-provider abstraction (not locked to single API) - Intelligent routing (optimize for cost/latency/quality) - Developer-first (npm install, 5 lines of code) ```python & Node JSpip install vloex npm install vloeximport vloex video = vloex.generate("Your content") # Auto-routes to best provider, handles f

Show HN: Imagerry – client-side image customizer and converter (WASM / WebGPU)Hi HN! I built Imagerry (https://imagerry.com), a freemium, 100% client-side image converter and utility suite.### What it does till today:- 100% Client-Side: Zero file uploads, all processing happens locally using HTML5 Canvas & WebAssembly, though gpu is heavy on desktop apps. - Format Conversions & Resizing: PNG, WebP, AVIF, JPEG, SVG with high-quality Lanczos scaling (`pica`). - Utility Tools: Code Snippet Beautifier, App Icon Studio, Social OG Card Generator, and Passport Photo Arranger. - Cross-platform: Available as a PWA and desktop app (Electron).### Some Suggestions and tradeoff's for adding ?? :)I’m considering adding *local AI models* (such as in-browser AI image upscalers or background removers using ONNX Runtime Web / WebGPU) - by desktop apps preferable only.Since Imagerry focuses on privacy and zero cloud uploads, running models locally in the browser feels like a natural fit, but it comes with a *20MB–50MB initial model or even more depending on local model's download

Show HN: Browser-Based AI Watermark Remover – No Uploads, Client-Side OnlyI built a simple, fully client-side AI watermark remover that runs entirely in the browser—no images are uploaded to any server, no accounts needed, no ads or watermarks added on output. It targets common AI-generated watermarks like those from Grok, Gemini (Nano Banana / Imagen), Midjourney, etc., using a combination of inpainting heuristics and basic diffusion-style filling tuned for small logo/text overlays. (It's not a full advanced model like Lama or anything cloud-heavy—just lightweight JS + Canvas/WebAssembly ops for speed and privacy.) Why this exists:People keep asking for free, private ways to clean up watermarks from fun/experimental AI outputs without trusting third-party sites. Most online removers upload your image (privacy risk) or add their own branding/paywalls. This one keeps everything local, works on phones too, and is zero-friction.Try it here: https://tools.geeksprep.com/ai-watermark-remover (Drag/drop or paste image → process → download PNG)Feedback welcome: Does

Show HN: I Recently Built a ProjectI 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-imag
