About

I love building stuff and after using AI chats, IDE, TUIs, I was frustrated enough to fix a recurring problem that I was facing around on how to communicate bugs to AI - be it UI bugs or logs. This is why I built SuperBased - the easiest way to share what you see and what you want to the AI environment. I realized I was also annotating stuff, trying to save on token usage - so I kept adding more and more to make a helpful layer between myself and the AI chat/IDE environments. That's why SuperBased does what it does. I'm always open to hearing ideas, issues, suggestions from the community. Feel free to hit me up anytime.

I built an AI screenshot tool for developers because explaining bugs is harder than fixing them

Hi Product Hunt community, Taking a big leap today in launching SuperBased, a screenshotting app to make sharing of screenshots with AI easier. I've been building SuperBased for the past many weeks after dealing with this issue since Nov/Dec 2022 (popularization of Chatgpt) and just shipped the product & the product video, so figured I'd share here.

The problem I was solving for myself:

Every day I'd spot a bug, take a screenshot, crop it, paste it into AI Chat or IDE, do these steps 3-4 times, and then write three paragraphs explaining what was wrong because the screenshot alone didn't tell the story. I was spending more time screenshotting and explaining bugs than fixing them and I wanted to make it a lot easier.

What SuperBased does:

SuperBased — Screenshot App for Devs - AI screenshot tool for developers — capture, compress, ship

Every developer knows the loop: find a bug → screenshot → crop → paste → over-explain. You spend more time explaining than fixing. SuperBased fixes that. It’s an AI-powered screen capture tool for devs that turns your screen into clear, shareable context—captured, annotated, and compressed. What it does: 🔹 Multi-capture 🔹 Auto-capture 🔹 AI analysis 🔹 Voice dictation 🔹 Token Compression Engine 🔹 Screenshot notes 🔹 Gallery & search 🔹 Developer API & MCP
