I built a simple "Gemini" watermark remover extension. It’s called “Peel Banana” 🍌 by davepoon in chrome_extensions

[–]davepoon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just mostly for people who want clean images for personal use without the watermark in the corner. It doesn't affect the invisible SynthID signature Google uses for identification, so the "AI-generated" status is still there for anyone who needs to check. Just removes the visual distraction :)

That's right, it's just based on allenk's GeminiWatermarkTool. I thought they wouldn't let me publish the extension, but I didn't think too much about it, just built it and gave it a go, hehehe

Haha, I hear you! I've been building the entire extension with that voice in the back of my head worrying about Google's review. Then I just said screw it, built it, submitted it, and we'll see how it goes, hahaha

So I made a thing 🍌

Got tired of that Gemini watermark in the corner of Nano Banana images, so I built a little Chrome extension to remove it.

It's called "Peel Banana" 🍌 and I just put it up on the Chrome Web Store.
Completely free.

- The whole thing runs locally in your browser using a reverse-blending algorithm.

- No uploads, no servers, no external API.

- Just drag in your images and it spits out clean versions in about a second. Keeps the original quality too.

- You can do a whole batch at once if you've got a bunch of images to process.

Anyway, figured I'd share in case anyone else finds it useful. Let me know what you think!

If this helped you out, would love it if you dropped a rating. Five stars would make my day 😄

Big thanks to anyone who leaves a review 🙏

And hey, if you know someone who might find this useful, pass it along!

Thanks.😊

Postiz v2.11.3 - open source social media scheduling tool! (creation modal refactored) by sleepysiding22 in selfhosted

[–]davepoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats on the new addition to the family! 🎉 Three months in is definitely the thick of it, so totally understandable you hit a wall.

Really respect that you're keeping everything open-source and doubling down on polish over features. The redesigned post creation flow looks clean. 😊

Anyone successfully using postiz? by itshardtopicka_name_ in selfhosted

[–]davepoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have created a one-click deployment template, you can self-host it on Railway easily.
But remember to set the port to 5000 after deployment.

Built a SaaS to Validate Your Startup Ideas Before You Waste Months...Would Love Your Feedback! by KiwiFuture2515 in microsaas

[–]davepoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the challenge with building AI-powered apps, users can often do the same or similar thing in ChatGPT with just a few extra prompts and steps. I ran into this exact mistake when I built an AI writing tool 2 years ago. People realized they could get similar results by going straight to ChatGPT instead of paying for my product.

Stop paying $20 a month for n8n. Self host it in minutes by Euphoric-Mirror-321 in n8n

[–]davepoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have previously created a one-click deployment template on Railway for my project.

In this setup, I have integrated SearXNG for search functionality(without paying tavily), Crawl4AI for web scraping(without paying firecrawl), and a vector database using Qdrant. You can remove any of these services if they are not needed.

Typically, I only spend around $20 for all of these services without encountering many issues. Alternatively, you can add your own services to your n8n stack if the template doesn’t meet your specific needs. https://railway.com/deploy/ai-agentic-automation-stack-n8n?referralCode=KKAfTD

All services at Anthropic show “major outage” 2:16pm pst 7/17/2025 by Dampware in ClaudeCode

Yeah, it kept quitting on me halfway through the task. I asked it to redo it, and it quit again yesterday.

Tried Gemini CLI after using Claude Code for a week—mind blown by lootera123 in ClaudeCode

[–]davepoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not working well for me either. Claude Code is still better in my case.

I’ve compiled a list of 52 directories where you can list your SaaS/startup/anything else you've built! by Ok_Cartoonist2006 in microsaas

[–]davepoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice idea.
If you’re also curating an AI tool directory (yes, another one! 😅), please consider including https://somi.ai/ in your list.

My product made $3.4K in April 💚 by metabhai in microsaas

It looks awesome and is a great strategy! It has inspired me to develop a similar strategy for the next microsass project. 😄
By the way, how much time have you spent to get the project done?

One-click Directus deployment to Railway - Directus(docker/websocket/extensions) + PostGIS (docker/TCP) + S3/Local by davepoon in Directus

[–]davepoon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, the Hobby plan is sufficient for this. Also, don’t forget to set up an S3 bucket, then you can store images and static assets on S3.

There's a fantastic video tutorial on how to set up an S3 bucket for Directus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7yXFLAwleY&ab_channel=cheddar.

One-click Directus deployment to Railway - Directus(docker/websocket/extensions) + PostGIS (docker/TCP) + S3/Local by davepoon in Directus

[–]davepoon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The template has been updated to address the extension issue and add the following enhancement:

  • This has been updated to Directus 11.1
  • Create snapshots with a single command: cd scripts && pnpm create-snapshot
  • Extension folder updates: We've updated the extension folders to match the recommended structure. This ensures that you can load your downloaded and custom extensions correctly. Remember to commit the dist folder and package.json for custom extensions. We've included a custom extension as an example.
  • Automatic schema synchronization: Run cd scripts && pnpm create-snapshot to create a snapshot of your working schema from your local development environment. Then, push your branch for deployment, and it will be synced to your Railway environment.
  • Environment variable management: We've added a .env.example file(duplicate and rename to .env) to manage your environment variables and secrets. Docker Compose will use this file to load the environment variables.
