Post Description

As controversial as this new wave of e-commerce is, its extremely effective.

There's a new Pokemon pack rip site every week now. What there isn't is a way for a store that already sells things to run this themselves, so I built one.

A collection of drop-in sections for Shopify development

Contains practical, ready-to-drop sections like 'Show Variants as Separate Products', custom sliders, and header/footer tweaks that are schema-enabled for the Shopify Theme Editor — great for shaving hours off small theme jobs. It feels utilitarian: good docs and video tutorials are included, but there’s nothing novel here and it would benefit from live demos, compatibility notes, and a clearer maintenance/QA signal.

Built a Mac app to add sidebars to videos, like YC does on YouTube

Recreates YC's right-hand chapter UI and bakes it into an exportable video workflow — drag in clips, write or AI-generate sidebar sections, then render a single video with the sidebar burned in. Clever shortcut for creators who want that specific branded look quickly; the kicker will be cross-platform support and export fidelity compared to full video editors.

A Browser-Based Video Editor with Smooth Zoom Effects

Interface leans into a focused workflow: separate tracks for camera/screen/images, an obvious 'Add Zoom' control, and timeline operations like Split / Move to 0 for fast edits. It looks engineered for creating tutorial-style zooms quickly, but it doesn't show advanced keyframing, audio tools, or anything that clearly outclasses established browser editors.
