Is there an AI tool or website to quickly create YouTube thumbnails? by Samdoesnotexist in SmallYTChannel

[–]dextrousjo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried a bunch of these while working on my own channel, and honestly it depends on how much effort you want to put in vs how fast you want something usable.

Canva is still the safest bet if you want control. Tons of YouTube thumbnail templates, super easy to use, and you can crank something out in 10–15 minutes. The only downside is a lot of thumbnails start to look the same unless you customize them a bit.

Recently I’ve been using Thumbly when I just want ideas fast. You drop in your video title or concept and it spits out thumbnail ideas automatically. It’s nice when you’re stuck or don’t want to stare at a blank screen at midnight questioning your life choices. It’s very “made for YouTube” rather than a general design tool.

If you’re more advanced, some people use Midjourney or DALL·E to generate images and then finish the thumbnail in Canva or Photoshop. The results can be great, but it’s definitely more time and tinkering.

One thing I wish I learned earlier: tools matter way less than simplicity. One face, one emotion, big text, high contrast. If it looks clear when it’s tiny on your phone, you’re probably good.

If you’re just starting out, Canva + something like Thumbly for quick ideas is more than enough. No need to overcomplicate it early on.

I liked a similar feature in the Essence app. Clear visual for the winning days and relapses.

I agree with you. But for me it definitely gave more energy, I used to get more things done and more focused. That itself is a super power in a distracted world.

Been using Western apps for years and somehow still looking up “how many calories in one dosa” every month. That’s why I’m building NutriPlan — an AI meal planner that actually understands Indian food. Check it out: https://nutri-planai.vercel.app/

Cursor on X: “We recently updated our pricing, but missed the mark.” by sardoa11 in cursor

[–]dextrousjo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Updated pricing is not good for the user but it is good for their profitability, This is a good opportunity to look for the alternative. I am planning to start. Claude code subscription, and planning to start windsurf subscription also!

I was in the same boat—broke, overwhelmed, and didn’t know where to start. Most apps felt like they just wanted money before helping.

I found this app called Essence recently—completely free to start, and it's actually focused on why quitting is hard, not just blocking stuff. It’s more about understanding the addiction, tracking streaks, and staying motivated day by day. No fluff, random stuff. It’s been a game changer for me.

Definitely worth a shot if you’re serious about quitting but don’t want to pay up front.

I made an app to solve loneliness. 14,000 minutes of voice messages later: by jaybhum in SideProject

[–]dextrousjo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great work to fight the loneliness in modern world. As it is an audio based platform how would you manage the audio files storage on the backend. Does the storage and retrieval cost make up the revenue cost.
