Show HN: CamPrompter – Transparent Teleprompter with UVC Hardware Control

https://camprompter.dnyantra.com/
1•mayurkakade•2h ago
"Hi HN, I’m Mayur. I built this because I was frustrated with existing teleprompters not letting me control webcam hardware (Exposure/Focus) directly.

It’s an Electron app (I know, I know—but I needed to ship fast).

The interesting technical challenges were:

Transparency & Click-through: Making the overlay "ghost" so you can click on the Zoom/Meet window behind the text while scrolling.

I’m currently at $0 revenue and anxious about the "Electron RAM" stigma, so I’d love feedback on the performance if anyone gives it a spin.
