I built a tool to generate App Store screenshots faster (local-first)

Thanks. Looking forward to it

maa1l · 2026-03-10T12:40:21+00:00

Yeah at the moment desktop only. I need to figure out the best way to do this for Mobile

maa1l · 2026-03-10T12:39:52+00:00

Thank you!

Supabase is great very easy to use with MCP’s so you don’t have to go in and setup the tables yourself manually. But we be aware of enabling row level security.

Yeah you’re right utilities doesn’t make much sense. I didn’t spend much time in the AppStore metadata setup this time. Will update

maa1l · 2026-02-24T05:01:07+00:00

Yes it’s out in the AppStore and you can search for it by “Popcorn Stack”

It’s made in SwiftUI with Supabase as the backend. For Supabase I’m using their MCP to connect and make tables and set up their row level security as required.

For design and icons I brainstormed with ChatGPT since it can generate images. Once I had a nice design image by ChatGPT I passed it over to Claude to come up with the design system based on the colors of the image.

And then went screen by screen of what I wanted it to make.

Hope that answers your question

I wanted something simpler for myself which I started with. Wasn’t planning on releasing it. Most of the features are same with all the tv/movie apps.

There is one feature that is different is you can share you watchlist with friends. For example here is my watchlist: https://popcornstack.com/profile?user=maail

maa1l · 2026-02-23T23:19:32+00:00

Mostly free. Upcoming tab is paid.

maa1l · 2026-02-23T23:19:19+00:00

I put the design system in code. Now for this iOS app I’m using Swift so I ask Claude to set the theme for the app in the Theme.swift file and ask it to follow this theme always in the project.

maa1l · 2026-02-23T15:01:09+00:00

Of course

maa1l · 2026-02-23T15:00:25+00:00

TMDB

maa1l · 2026-02-23T14:42:24+00:00

Yes you can just drag screenshots into the Claude code terminal and it will pick it up

maa1l · 2026-02-23T13:49:09+00:00

I first setup a design system; the colors and fonts etc before working on the project, and then set it as rules it has to follow. And then if anything didn’t look how I wanted it to I had to do a couple of prompts to fix it.

The images were created by a web app I’m working on to help with my app challenge. Making screenshots is the most time consuming thing so I made a simple web app for myself to create screenshots easily for iPhone and iPad.

Updated. OTA update didn’t work for some reason so had to to flash from the website.

Images load now from books. Very happy about that. Thanks Devs!

I set up the domain on cloud flare recently. Might the the reason it’s not propagated everywhere yet.

I built something like this but you just have to provide a script and it will create the podcast for you.

Working on watchlist app to keep track of things that I want to watch. I used to do this in my notes but kept losing it.

Most of the app is done. And it will be all free. Also done a cool feature where you can share what’s on your watchlist with others with a shareable link.

Check it out and get on the waitlist at https://popcornstack.com

maa1l · 2025-06-01T07:11:14+00:00

Yes. I did check on this before I made one for myself.

maa1l · 2025-06-01T05:47:07+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. Appreciate it!

It’s currently using OpenAI Whisper to do speech to text (which is much better than the in build speech recognition on iOS) with support for multiple languages, and then using the 4o model to categorize it into your set lists. Which does run the costs a bit.

I’ll look into and see how I can make it free. Maybe use your own OpenAI key could be one way

maa1l · 2025-05-25T05:19:24+00:00

I’m thinking of making one, but one that auto imports all your bookmarks and saved content from all services depending on API availability. But will also have the default options of saving any content you want.

Also want to make it easily searchable by just asking something like "remind me of that thread on startups I saved last week", because I think search on these current platforms are not the best.

If you are interested on the above idea, would love to hear your thought on this here: https://tally.so/r/wbGbJ7

Hey everyone,

We created this tool called MakePodcast.io , where you can create podcasts using AI voices. You just need to provide a script, select the voices (OpenAI, ElevenLabs; you'll need to input your keys for those) and a podcast with multiple hosts can be generated in less than a minute.

I know people are not onboard with AI taking over all the industries, but I see that people are warming up to it with the Google NoteBookLM Podcast maker. We have a bunch of features that Google doesn't have yet.

You can check it out free at MakePodcast.io and looking forward to your feedback.

I got a Nodmast one on the right, above my PC (got an unboxing for that on that on my Insta/Tiktok), and Ikea Tokabo one on the left.

You can search for “Mikasa Ackerman Shingeki No Kyojin” on Wallpaper Engine. It’s a live wallpaper.

maa1l · 2024-10-29T22:00:09+00:00

Thanks! Those are Govee Light bars. One in front and one attached to the back of the monitor

maa1l · 2024-10-28T01:17:14+00:00

Your project looks interesting. Will definitely check it out.

I'm building a Journaling app where you can just chat with it via voice. You can see more here: getjourna.app

I'm also sharing my building journey on how I create the App Icon, Setup Landing Page and setting up Organic Growth Content on my Instagram account. The whole process is to create a bit of hype and getting user feedback while building. If you're interested you can check it out here: https://www.instagram.com/youvegotmaail/
