My side-project hit #2 of the day and #5 of the week on ProductHunt

I'm a solo dev who built few products earlier and recently started #buildinpublic. As I document my journey, I wanted to post beautiful screenshots as few creators do. However, I couldn't find a simple tool for such a small niche use case. Instead, people use canva, Figma, gimp, photoshop, etc to achieve this.

As a developer, I always automate whatever I can automate. So, I quickly built this simple tool that takes no more than 5 seconds to generate beautiful screenshots with gradient backgrounds aka "supershots".

Interestingly, I shared the same tool on IndieHackers prior to that, it got mixed responses :)

"Follow your gut to solve small problems. Results might be not so small."

    Congratulations! Your tool does look great. How long did you prep and where do you want to take this?

      Thank you Daniel!

      I was already preparing to launch a different product on PH for some time.
      I stumbled upon this idea and decided to experiment with my learnings.

      At the moment, I want to increase the traffic to 10k pageviews a month.
