Show HN: A GitHub business card generator
I built this small app for fun, to play with image generation thanks to Vercel’s new library [1]. You enter your GitHub username (or anyone’s), and it generates an image with a few info about your account.<p>[1] <a href="https://vercel.com/docs/concepts/functions/edge-functions/og-image-generation" rel="nofollow">https://vercel.com/docs/concepts/functions/edge-functions/og...</a>

Show HN: Custom Keylabels for Your Custom Keyboard Layouts
Hey HN,<p>This is a bit of a weekend project that I'm currently trying out. When I'm changing the layout of my moonlander, I wish there was a way to change the labels of the keys as well.<p>So I thought about making some label stickers that sit over the key, and after some experimentation I'm pretty happy with the results, however I need a few other "keyboard buddies" to make it economical.<p>So I'm introducing <a href="https://kapd.au" rel="nofollow">https://kapd.au</a> as a way for people to download the same template I used, and send it to me to get it printed out. I run in batches of 8 and while atm the prices are a little high, they can come down significantly if I get a few orders and verify the demand first.<p>Let me know what you think and please feel free to send it to any people you know who have custom keyboards and layouts!
Show HN: Pickcode – A new way to introduce programming to kids
Hello HN, I've linked a tutorial from Pickcode, where students are guided through making a chatbot that plays mad libs. Pickcode is designed for introducing programming without block coding, in a way that's closer to Javascript or Python. I made Pickcode based on my frustrations teaching beginners in both block coding and in Python.<p>The link here is to just one lesson, and I have a few more that you can find on the site. I'd love feedback from HNers with kids age 10-13 or so, or HNers who can put on an intro to programming hat.<p>On the roadmap is adding more complex use cases for your programs (like drag and drop web apps), and obviously many more lessons.<p>If you're a teacher and interested in using this with students, email me at charlie@pickcode.io

Show HN: ShowMeYourHotKeys – A macOS app to show applications menu shortcuts
Hi everyone,<p>ShowMeYourHotKeys is a macOS application I worked for the last months. This app shows the frontmost app's menu items shortcuts (it also have some other features)<p>There is a beta version available on the website.<p>Accessibility permission is necessary to obtain menu items informations and Full disk Access is necessary to create custom shortcuts.<p>I would love to hear all the feedbacks and suggestions.<p>Thank you for your attention.

Show HN: A little side project, a watercolor art generator
Hi HN - this is a little side project I threw together. Some implementation details: image processing is all done with headless GIMP (running inside a Docker container) through its built-in Python API. It's _very_ slow (about 50 seconds/image), and currently it processes exactly one image at a time. The website is built with NextJS; payments are processed by Stripe.<p>I've had the best results with pictures of houses, although certain photos of people or nature can look neat, too. (For example: <a href="https://brushify.art/s/ruYmQWk" rel="nofollow">https://brushify.art/s/ruYmQWk</a>, original photo from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pillars_of_Creation" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pillars_of_Creation</a>.) The effect obscures the edges of the photo, so images with plenty of margin around the subject work best.<p>Something I'd like to play around with is swapping the GIMP script for an AI-based process (maybe using something like Stable Diffusion?), with the goal of generating images that look more handmade (something like these: <a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/search?q=watercolor+house" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/ca/search?q=watercolor+house</a>). I have exactly zero AI experience though, so there would be a bit of a learning curve.<p>Would love any thoughts or critiques!<p>----<p>edit: remove unrelated details
