Self-Promotion Wednesdays Free app for smart image search on PC

Thumbnail gallery
5 Upvotes

Hi,

I've created a free native application for smart images search. Works especially well with memes but could actually find any type of pictures in multiple languages. Also, it could search for similar images.

App is using OCR to get text from images for search with. Also, it's using local language-vision model for so called natural language search. It's complicated term for simple type "cat" to find pictures with cats.

Download link

Some tech info for those who are interested:

  • Works on Windows 10 20H2 or higher
  • WinUI3, because I hate electron apps. So, it's kinda fast and have native look and feel
  • Built-in Google SigLIP2 for smart search
  • Batteries (ai model) are included
  • Works completely offline. Feel free to search for the craziest memes
  • 95% handcoded, so I've learned some new things while developing it

Looking for software 3rd-Party Screen Colors/Contrast/etc Programs?

Upvotes

Hello! I am actually extremely frustrated

I draw digitally and started drawing on a new laptop I got...thought everything was hunky-dory until I realized my new laptop's screen colors are WAY off. Look completely different from my iphone screen and way off based on everyone I asked in a group chat. Less saturated, less vivid, but almost like it's not in a way I can edit to look right. This laptop has Intel-everything and the Windows-default adjuster and Intel adjuster app both don't get it quite right. I just oversaturate all the wrong colors and screw up the gamma and tint. But it really just has me tweaking the RGB sliders in various ways and a single gamma slider when I really wanna be fixing the overall contrast/whatever or something more in depth.

What I thought were mid-saturation blues were actually deep indigo-ish hues, dullish pinkish-reds are actually neon hot pink, etc etc. I don't know if my phone's doing a weird HDR thing or what!

I don't have a color calibrator thing. I just want my screen to look normal.

Are there any 3rd-party programs that can handle this? Google's been atrocious lately and can't find anything relevant when I search. I ran into DisplayCAL and Twinkle Tray but they either didn't work or aren't what I need.

Any help is appreciated!! Even if it's just methods to figure out what balance I need. Would take a pic of the screen difference but don't have a spare good-quality camera on me that isn't my phone!

Self-Promotion Wednesdays Make your Copilot key useful

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

If you recently got a new laptop or one of the new Copilot+ PCs, you’ve probably noticed the mandatory Copilot key. For many users, developers, and sysadmins, it’s mostly prime keyboard real estate going to waste on a web shortcut we don't necessarily use or want.

Since Windows doesn't offer a native way to customize it and the alternatives conflict with it, I decided to build a clean, lightweight utility to fix this annoyance, and I recently published it on the Microsoft Store (this is mandatory to get the app recognized as a Copilot key provider).

Under the Hood & Tech Stack:

  • Resources-First: Built using C++ for the background launcher to ensure good performance and near-zero CPU/RAM footprint when triggering your apps, combined with C# and MUI3 for a clean, modern native UI configuration tool.

  • 100% Private & Secure: The app requires no internet connection, features no telemetry/data collection, and contains absolutely zero ads. It just installs and works.

  • Full Customization: Remaps the Copilot key to open any application (.exe or store), Windows CMD, PowerShell, or specific command-line scripts.

Pricing & Trial: While it isn't free I wanted to keep this accessible, so it’s priced at a symbolic 0.99 USD (or close to that, whatever the Microsoft Store charges you for the equivalent to 0.99 USD). However, I’ve set up a one week completely free trial so you can test its performance in your daily workflow risk free.

If you want to give it a shot, you can find it here: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9NQW6CTV79D7

Just remember to go to Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Keyboard, and select it as the Copilot key provider after downloading it. The settings UI can be opened from the start menu, and pressing the Copilot key will launch what you bind to it.

I’d love to get your technical feedback! If you have any feature requests, questions about the implementation, or bugs to report, let me know in the comments.

Thanks for checking it out!

Discussion Why do most phone webcam apps still feel incomplete?

3 Upvotes

I've been trying nearly every phone-as-webcam app available (DroidCam, Camo, Iriun, EpocCam...) while building my own alternative.

Most of them still have issues or are annoying to use.
Watermarks, Subscription-only features, High CPU usage, Awkward setup.

So I'm curious, if you use your phone as a webcam:

What's the one thing that annoys you the most about your current app?

I'd really like to understand where these apps are falling short before I continue building mine.

Looking for software Mac software to convert CBR to PDF without the headache

5 Upvotes

Hopefully someone can help. I have downloaded a load of old video game manuals that for whatever reason are in CBR file format which is useless to me I want them as PDF.

Can anyone suggest a software that I can simply drag and drop these files then click a button and the conversion is done? When I search all I am seeing is do this and that, then put into imageshack covert there etc. I just want as simple an option as possible. I would have thought something like this would be very easy to do yet here I am almost 2 hours later and still haven't found a viable solution.

I have already downloaded something called Jomic but my Macbook keeps refusing to open the file so please can someone offer some suggestions Preferably a paid software as that would be best. I have too many things to convert to use one of those online free sites.

I also have access to a windows computer if what I am looking for is easier to do there but all the stuff is on my mac so I would prefer to do it here.

ok so this happened to me with Trello a while back, remember when it was just clean simple boards and now it's got like 15 power-ups shoved in your face and half the UI feels like an upsell screen

anyway made me think about how many apps do this. you use something for years, it's perfect, then one update later it's unrecognizable and somehow worse even though it has "more features"

what's yours? bonus points if you remember the exact version/update where it went downhill

Self-Promotion Wednesdays PulseWatch, a cron heartbeat + uptime monitoring, with metric thresholds on pings

0 Upvotes

How it works:

-Append && curl -fsS https://ping-url to a cron job. If the ping doesn't arrive within the expected interval + grace, the monitor flips to down.

-Also does HTTP uptime checks (interval, expected status range, keyword match, SSL expiry).

The part i actually care about: pings can carry metrics as query params (?rows=1400), and you set rules on them; floor, ceiling, or deviation from the recent median.

So ?rows=0 fails against a floor even though the job "succeeded." Lets you treat "ran but processed nothing" as a down state.

Alerts go to email/Telegram/Slack/Discord/webhook; webhook payloads are HMAC-signed so you can automate a response.

Currently working on incorporating auto analyzing stack traces in stderr payloads.

Looking for feedback, would you find this useful ?

Looking for software Best software for batch-converting photos of a book into a clean PDF?

1 Upvotes

I have a 400-page book and a mirrorless camera mounted on a tripod, so taking consistent, high quality photos isn't the problem.

What I'm looking for is software that can process all of these images in bulk.

Ideally, the workflow would be:

1)I photograph every page in order.

2)I import all of the images into the software.

3)The software automatically detects the page boundaries, corrects perspective if necessary, crops each page consistently, enhances readability (if needed), and exports everything as a single PDF in the correct order.

OCR support would be a nice bonus, but it's not essential.

What software would you recommend for this workflow? I'm looking for something that works well with hundreds of images rather than requiring me to manually adjust every page.

Looking for software Looking for a site to make online poll with multiple weighted answers.

1 Upvotes

My book club votes on any new books, we each suggest a title or two and then vote. Each member can give 3, 2 and 1 point, which, while a bit more complicated, leads to results that everybody is somewhat happy with, instead of the one that is the favourite of some, but maybe not liked at all by others. Well anyway, it works for us.

Sadly, I was so far unable to find any website or software that allows for this "natively", we just use a google sheet and ask people how to vote (some of which are not good at understanding the method) and then just count. So we don’t even have any nice graphs or graphics automatically. Sad.

Anyway, can anybody recommend a good polling site or program for our first world problem?
