This is a really thoughtful take on content → commerce. The “lost revenue visualization” idea actually resonates a lot — not because of the dollar amount itself, but because it makes an invisible problem suddenly concrete. I also like that the interaction stays in-context (no page reload, no popups). Curious how merchants react to seeing those missed opportunities for the first time —...

Love projects like this. Not everything has to solve a “serious” problem — sometimes it’s just about making dev culture more fun. The GitHub Action angle is especially clever.

Running transcription fully on-device is impressive! Curious — do you support multiple languages, and if so, how seamless is switching between them for long sessions?

Love this idea — turning time into something visible rather than something that pings you is really thoughtful. Curious how people tend to use it most: as a productivity reminder, or more as a reflective / memento mori tool?

The Story Behind TransMov: From APNG Experiments to a MacOS Video & Animation Tool

Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I’d love to share the story behind TransMov, my macOS app for video and animation processing. When I started developing apps, I often needed animation assets. I realized that APNGs were a simple and effective format, and I also experimented with Lottie animations. Many designers might use After Effects for this kind of work, but I didn’t have the time to learn all the tools —...

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm excited to share **PurrrrrFocus** with you today - a focus timer app that makes productivity fun and engaging. ### The Problem Most focus timer apps feel cold and utilitarian. They track your time but don't create an emotional connection that makes you want to come back. After using various Pomodoro apps, I found myself abandoning them because they felt like work, not a...
