Hi Product Hunt! I’m incredibly excited to introduce WebVidra to you today! The idea for WebVidra was born out of sheer frustration. When I was looking for a way to host my photography portfolio, I realized the website builder market is basically split into two camps, and both had major disadvantages: - The Free Ones: They are often clunky, restrictive, and (most annoyingly) you never really own your website files. - The Fancy Ones: They are beautiful and feature-rich, but they lock you into a "walled garden" with expensive, never-ending monthly subscriptions. I just wanted a lightning-fast, clean portfolio where I actually owned the files. So, I took matters into my own hands and started writing Python scripts to generate my photography website locally. The scripts worked so well that I realized other creatives—photographers, artists, and designers—could really benefit from this approach. I decided to package those scripts into a full-fledged, user-friendly desktop app. Enter WebVidra. Here is what makes it special: 💻 Offline-First & Local: Your project lives in a simple folder right on your computer. You own your projekt.json file and all your media. No internet? No problem. 📸 Built for Creatives: It automatically resizes your high-res photos into multiple resolutions and generates responsive srcset tags, ensuring your portfolio is fast on any device. 🤖 Privacy-Focused AI: You can prompt your website into existence! We support OpenAI, Gemini, and Groq, but you can also use Ollama to run your AI assistant 100% locally so your data never leaves your machine. ⚡ Zero Bloat Output: When you hit "Generate", WebVidra spits out clean HTML, CSS, and JS. 🚀 1-Click Deploy: Ready to go live? Push your static site directly to Netlify (for free) or Bunny.net right from the editor. WebVidra is for anyone who wants a fast, SEO-friendly portfolio without learning to code or paying a monthly "builder tax". I would absolutely love to hear your feedback, answer your questions, and hear what features you'd like to see next! 🦦
