Show HN: Manim-Studio – Prompt to 3blue1brown video

Hacker News - Sun, 06/14/2026 - 11:36am

Hi,

Created a tool that lets you type your idea and it can generate a 3blue1brown style video on this.

The demo is free to use - https://crafty-resilient-grebe.instavm.site/

Github open sourced as well - https://github.com/instavm/manim-studio

If you feel its cumbersome to set up manim locally, you can now just prompt this tool and it will create the video you need, be as descriptive as you like.

Shoutout to the original Manim - https://github.com/ManimCommunity/manim

Happy manim-ing!

Show HN: A zero-telemetry clipboard, color picker, and capture suite

Hacker News - Sun, 06/14/2026 - 11:35am

I’m not a software engineer by trade, but I needed to make a number of screenshots for my job that all needed to be the exact same size. Every app I found wouldn't let me input or save a preset size to make my life easier, so I thought I'd try out using AI to help me build a simple app to solve that problem. It wasn't long before I started adding more and more useful features and ended up building the screenshot app I wanted to see in the world (CapSize - which now has local OCR and a ton of annotation tools).

I had so much fun with it I started thinking of what other apps I could use for work and hobbies, and that's how I built SmartClip (a clipboard history manager with local privacy masking) and HexStack (a color picker that stores your hex codes and a lot more). Everything is 100% offline with zero telemetry and no account required.

I had no plans on sharing them with the world when I built them, but they helped me so much, I wondered if others might find them useful too. There's probably not a wide scale market for them, but I think developers, software engineers, UX/UI designers and testers could get a lot of use out of them.

If this is something you might find useful, I'd love your thoughts and feedback on what I've created. There is a fully functional, free "Core" version of each app on the site you can test out and demo videos showing the "Pro" features. If you really love the Pro features, I've set up a 20% discount for this community: Use code HN20 at checkout.

Thanks for taking a look!

I indexed 669 GB of my GoPro videos using my M1 Max computer and local ML models

Hacker News - Sun, 06/14/2026 - 11:13am

TLDR: I had 2,207 GoPro videos, and I need to rewatch them to find interesting moments from my cycling journey. I built a project to index them locally on my M1 Max using open-source ML models, search for those moments, and send the best clips straight to my DaVinci Resolve timeline. I indexed 628 videos (668.68 GB, 15h 13m 18s of footage duration), more details in the metrics table in the last section of this article.
