Created an app to present better screenshots on Twitter and other sites

Hi folks!

As an indie-maker it's almost all the time when I have to share screenshots of new features on Twitter, and sharing the raw screenshot output with users is unpleasant and boring, no one likes to see those.

My previous workflow included involvement of Figma in which I had to open the app and then figure out the background gradient and shadows etc. It was time consuming and redundant. And so I have created Pika(https://pika.rishimohan.me) to quickly generate shareable images from boring screenshots.

Here's how it works:

  • You just paste your screenshot(Cmd/Ctrl+V)
  • Customise the screenshot, add background, shadow etc.
  • Copy the output image, or save it as PNG on your machine

Pika saves your previous settings so when you load it again, it'll retain your last settings.

I hope the community will find it useful. It's free and doesn't store your screenshots anywhere but locally.

Pika is open-source and the code is available at Github(http://github.com/rishimohan/pika). You can find more of my projects here - https://rishimohan.me/projects. Also I'm on Twitter and tweet about Next.js, Tailwind, Saas and making - https://twitter.com/thelifeofrishi :)
