What is this for? I don't see the use case.
zdc1•1h ago
I'm equally confused. Why would I want to take a perfectly good screenshot and then shrink it down so it fits within a square and fill >50% of the canvas pixels with a gradient background?
Elfener•1h ago
I think this is some (new?) social media trend, my school started doing it too with their images on facebook. Half the image is just a border so the actual image is really low res. I have no idea why they do it though.
Hendrikto•38m ago
Some social media sites and apps like to cut off the sides to fit content onto different screen sizes and aspect ratios.

I think adding a border is an attempt to preserve the essential parts of the images in those situations. It really should not be necessary, but alas modern/stupid problems require modern/stupid solutions.

so it's for drawing attention on social media?
benjaminwootton•58m ago
Because it looks nice and makes it pop in a social media feed.

hello compliments for moocup, your screenshot generator is convenient, fast and really easy to use for example for X o bsky. Some tips, currently there are only a few colors for the borders, I would also like to have the possibility of a movement or transaction and export to gif. what do you think would be possible? thanks

How is this a screenshot generator? You have to drag an existing image onto it...

The title is a bit misleading, he actually generated a screenshot beautifier.
benjaminwootton•57m ago
It's nice. I actually pay for something like this.

The only thing I think I would need to switch is canvas size, ideally where I can select sizes for Twitter, Instagram etc.

Being able to paste an image would be nice too.

Nice work!

What value does it provide? (Genuine question, not intended as snarky!)
thih9•43m ago
Looks great, congrats on the launch.

Could you tell us more about how you made it? What libraries did you use, or did you code it with an AI?

erikgahner•26m ago
Looking good! What does it mean that it is free forever? That the code is available on GitHub and we should not have to be concerned about the site going offline or moving to a different place (that is not free)? Or, if it takes off, that we should begin to see ads? Or that this is the free tier option and future iterations can expect you to pay to, say, remove a watermark?
