1. dado丨oooo

Curation Note: A powerful and free visual-remix toolbox that lets you apply various kinds of effects to still images or videos with stylished presets and big room to improvise.

It's a " Ready-to-use configurations for your Claude Code projects", aka Claude Code Templates. I have so far tried Front end Developer template, SEO Specialist, Code Reviewer and they reall...

4. Linux Text Editor Gedit

Curation Note: For as long as I can remember, I have been using the text editor gedit. This is correct when I am talking about a text editor with its own GUI.

5. Photo Editing Using Gimp

Curation Note: When it comes to photo editing or image editing, you should know about Gimp. I've only been using Gimp since I switched from Windows to Linux, even though Gimp existed before that. It supports Linux, macOS, and Microsoft Windows.

6. ASCII Art Using Figlet

Curation Note: Sometimes I need text in ASCII art style. That's when I turn to Figlet. The wide selection of available ASCII fonts makes it easy to create attractive text graphics for use in the terminal. If the fonts provided are not sufficient, you can download additional ones.

7. Video Editing

Curation Note: I tried several video editing tools and then came across with OpenShot. Since then, I have been using OpenShot alongside the command line-based FFmpeg for video editing. It takes a little time to get used to the GUI. Once you do, you can accomplish a lot of things quickly and easily. The preview ima...

8. Making Title Capitalization Easy

Curation Note: A long time ago I was looking for a service, which supports me in writing title, header and headlines in accordance with the applicable rules.

9. Helpful ImageMagick Scripts

Curation Note: ImageMagick is an impressive tool for editing images. I use ImageMagick more and more. If you also like ImageMagick you should know the scripts of Fred Weinhaus. The web presence itself is not state of the art, but most of the presented scripts are working most of the time.

It evaluates your title and gives it a "viral" score (the higher the score is, the more likely it will go viral among HN users). The highest I've got is 79. It's fr...

20. Perkeep – Personal storage system for life

Curation Note: Throughout our life, we all continue to generate content, whether that’s writing documents, taking photos, writing comments online, liking our friends’ posts on social networks, etc. It would be nice if we were a bit more in control.
