Hello World,
I'm a solo dev who built few products earlier and recently started #buildinpublic. As I document my journey, I wanted to post beautiful screenshots as few creators do. However, I couldn't find a simple tool for such a small niche use case. Instead, people use canva, figma, gimp, photoshop, etc to achieve this.
As a developer, I always automate whatever I can automate. So, I quickly built this simple tool that takes no more than 5 seconds to generate beautiful screenshots with gradient backgrounds aka "supershots".
I shared it with some of my friends and colleagues. They loved it and encouraged me to post about it on Product Hunt and other places. So, here I am :)
I hope it might be useful to a few of you!
Thank you!

@_skris Off to a cracking start with this today! Great work
@_skris Congratulations on the launch!
Supershots is useful already and here are couple of suggestions to make it more useful -
1. Size adjustments for the images.
2. Adding text to the images.
3. A personal need-gap: 'Dynamic Open Graph images based on screenshot' - https://needgap.com/problems/214... .
P.S. I've added Supershots to my curated list of startup tools at StartupToolchain - https://startuptoolchain.com/#de... .
Super cool! And given the reception of poet.so the other day, I think you'll do pretty well here on PH today! :)
Would be cool to be able to change the ratio between screenshot and background. Otherwise, you loose so much screenspace with a color gradient, especially when sharing on Social in the tiny preview thats unfortunate.
@_skris I understand hosting HD images can be costly, but is there any way to increase renders quality?

Love all the gradient backgrounds! Looking forward to the extension and more simplification. Cropping screenshots is a boring process. Maybe, you van resolve that too :)
