alexaktenon Show HN: ui.camera – Product photography for software

Thanks, I will work on the performance. Trying to learn out how to render smooth playbacks with animations was tricky!

And yes, that's a great idea! I love what Paper are doing for design, this could do something similar for product photos & videos. Will play around with it to see what I come up with.

Thanks for the kind words! Working on releasing animations too, do you think that could be helpful for you? Add a couple screens from your website/app, and get back a smooth product showcase animation?

I relate to so many points here. I have a desire to share my thoughts and ideas, but no format (except for my personal blog) feels right.

Just started building autogram.bio to help people create their personal corner of the web, and this post was exactly the motivation I needed to continue. Thank you!

alexaktenon 99 Mental Models

I was reading about Charlie Munger's use of mental models to guide his thinking, and wanted to learn more. So, with the help of o1, I created a list of 99 models with definitions and examples and styled it with tailwind. Let me know if there are any important models I've missed.

Hope it can be helpful to you!

alexaktenon Breaking down tasks

I created tasktree.co for myself to help with this! It’s so easy to get overwhelmed when faced with a big task, and actually forcing yourself to just break it down helps a lot.
