I built Screenstab [1] as a solo developer to make it easier to create the tilt-shift-style screenshots often seen in product launches, landing pages, blogs, and tech journalism.It used to have a paid PRO version, but I’ve decided to make the whole app free as well as open source. All former PRO features are now included in the free version: watermark-free exports, HD export, ambient colors, axis controls, drag-and-drop, and the rest.I’ve also moved the source code to public GitHub [2].I handled the product, design, frontend, backend, image-processing workflow, operations, payments, and support myself. Thanks to everyone who paid for it while it was commercial.I’m new to open source and thinking about what to build next in the same vein: small tools that remove annoying workflow friction. I’d be interested to hear what kinds of repetitive screenshot, image, design, documentation, or similar workflow tasks people here still do by hand.[1] https://www.screenstab.com[2] https://github.com/MikaeI/screenstab
