I think there’s a difference between taking inspiration and blatantly copying a project. @marsihq
I was okay with that part but then milking it like you spent weeks building it and asking for stars that’s crazy.
You just asked claude: "Copy this site and change the color"
(It really hurts when you make a website landing page with soo much love and spend so much time on it..)
Soviet censors literally renamed Sergei Parajanov’s Sayat-Nova (1969) to The Color of Pomegranates because they thought its poetic visual language was too difficult for audiences to understand. That’s how far ahead of its time the film was.
If you make coding projects, product walkthroughs, tutorials, YouTube content, or demo videos, you have probably hit the same wall:
Raw screen recordings look amateur.
Cursors jitter. Clicks have no emphasis. Backgrounds are ugly. Zooms have to be added in post.
The standard fix is Screen Studio. $29 per month. $108 per year. Or $299 for a "lifetime" license that only includes 1 year of free updates.
Mac-only. No Windows. No Linux.
Now meet Recordly.
A free and open source screen recorder and editor for polished demos, walkthroughs, and product videos.
11,000+ stars in 7 weeks. AGPL-3.0. Mac, Windows, and Linux. No subscription. No paywall.
Here is what Recordly does:
→ Auto-zooms on cursor activity, so you don't manually mark zoom regions
→ Smooths cursor movement, adds click bounce, motion blur, and sway
→ Drops your recording into a styled frame with wallpapers, gradients, padding, blur, and shadows
→ Webcam bubble overlay with custom positions, mirroring, roundness, and zoom-reactive scaling
→ Drag-and-drop timeline with trims, speed regions, annotations, audio regions, and crop edits
→ MP4 and GIF export with quality presets, frame-rate control, and aspect ratio options
→ Native capture on macOS (ScreenCaptureKit) and Windows (Windows Graphics Capture + WASAPI)
→ Saves projects as `.recordly` files so you can reopen and re-edit
→ Extension marketplace for cursor click sounds, device frames, browser mockups, wallpapers
→ Customizable keyboard shortcuts and in-app shortcut reference
Here is what Recordly costs:
Zero. Forever. Unlimited recordings. Unlimited exports. No watermarks.
Here is the wildest part:
This repo is 7 weeks old.
Created on March 12, 2026. Already at 11,275 stars and 817 forks. The README is in English and Simplified Chinese. The marketplace is already live with community extensions.
Most "Screen Studio alternatives" are Mac-only forks or web-based screen recorders that upload your video to someone else's server.
Recordly runs on your machine. Records on your machine. Edits on your machine. Exports on your machine.
Your screen. Your recordings. Your machine.
100% Open Source.

CAPTCHA IS OFFICIALLY OUTDATED
A new open-source library called Cap is changing how websites stop bots.
No puzzles. No traffic lights. No “select all bikes” anymore.
Instead, it uses a SHA-256 proof-of-work system — simple, silent, and fast.
Why devs are switching:
• Only ~20KB in size
• Zero tracking, zero data collection
• No images, no user friction
• Works with any JS runtime
• Fully customizable (visible, invisible, floating modes)
• Zero dependencies
• Can be deployed instantly via Docker
This is a full replacement for traditional CAPTCHA systems.
Cleaner UX. Faster websites. Better privacy.
100% open-source on GitHub

Adobe tried to buy Figma for $20 billion in 2022.
The deal collapsed. So Figma went public on the NYSE in July 2025 instead. Ticker FIG. Public company. Quarterly earnings. Wall Street pressure.
You know what happens to design tools after they IPO.
In March 2025, Figma raised the Professional Full seat 33%. From $15 to $20 a month. Organization seats jumped to $55. Enterprise to $90.
Then they took Dev Mode, which was free during beta, and locked it behind a paid seat. Your developers now pay extra to inspect the designs your designers already paid to create.
In March 2026, Figma started charging for AI credits on top.
If Figma raises prices again, you pay.
If Figma gets acquired, you pray.
If Figma shuts down, your files die with it.
Your design system. On their servers. In a proprietary format only their app can read. To draw rectangles on a screen.
There is an open source design platform that runs on your hardware. Stores your files in plain SVG. Costs $0 forever for unlimited users.
It is called Penpot. 45,700+ stars on GitHub.
A full Figma-grade design platform built on open web standards. Vector editing. Components. Design tokens to W3C spec. Flex and Grid layouts. Real-time multiplayer. Interactive prototyping.
Here's what it does:
→ Real-time collaboration. Live cursors. Comments in line.
→ Components, variants, shared libraries.
→ Auto layout, Flex, CSS Grid. The tool outputs production CSS, not lookalike CSS.
→ Interactive prototypes with overlays, animations, and flows.
→ Inspect tab. Free. Built in. Every developer grabs production CSS, SVG, HTML without a separate seat.
→ Plugin ecosystem. Figma import to migrate your files.
→ Self-host on Docker in one command. Your designs never leave your network.
Here's the wildest part:
Figma stores your designs in a proprietary format only Figma can read.
Penpot files are SVG. The same format your browser has rendered for 25 years. Open them in any editor. Open them in 20 years. Nobody can lock you out.
The feature Figma charges your developers extra for, Penpot gives away. Without asking permission.
Figma Professional: $20/month per seat. A 10-person team: $2,400/year.
Figma Organization: $55/month per Full seat. A 50-person org: $33,000/year.
Penpot: $0. Unlimited users. Unlimited files. Unlimited teams. Self-hosted. Free forever.
45,700+ stars. 2,700+ forks. 250+ contributors. MPL-2.0 license. Backed by a community that believes design tools should be free.
Your designs. Your files. Your standards.
100% Open Source.

Why is no one talking about this?
@nvidia is offering around 80 AI models via hosted APIs absolutely for free.
You get access to MiniMax M2.7, GLM 5.1, Kimi 2.5, DeepSeek 3.2, GPT-OSS-120B, Sarvam-M etc.
This plugs straight into OpenClaude, OpenCode, Zed IDE, Hermes agent and even with Cursor IDE.
Setup:
– Grab API key: https://t.co/Wfdclm0hY2
– base_url = "https://t.co/VOGC10LmGP"
– api_key = "$NVIDIA_API_KEY"
– select model (e.g. minimaxai/minimax-m2.7)
If you’re building or experimenting, this is basically free inference.
Lock in and start building today anon.
Thank me later.
What if your whole computer were just pixels streamed to you from a model? I’ve been working with @zan2434 and @drewocarr to imagine a version of generative computing that’s much more flexible and visually rich than the GUIs we have today.

THIS GUY VIBE CODED A TOOL THAT TURNS ANY SVG INTO A 3D OBJECT YOU CAN SPIN, ANIMATE, AND EMBED
drag in an SVG, type some text, or draw pixel art. it becomes a 3D object instantly.
spin it around, animate it, and embed it on your site. export as 4K image or video.
runs entirely in your browser and nothing gets uploaded to any server with no account needed.
100% free AND its open source.
this is one of those tools you didn't know you needed until you see it
Gemma 4 looks at a parking lot. Decides what to ask. Calls SAM 3.1.
"Segment all vehicles." 64 found.
"Now just the white ones." 23 found.
One model reasoning and orchestrating. One model executing.
Both running locally on a MacBook. MLX. No cloud. No API.
I built a tool that generates a DESIGN.md from any website.
Paste a URL → get a semantic design document your AI agent actually understands: color relationships, typography, spacing logic, and component patterns.
Launching soon
🚨BREAKING: Someone just open-sourced a headless browser that runs 11x faster than Chrome and uses 9x less memory.
It's called Lightpanda and it's built from scratch specifically for AI agents, scraping, and automation.
Not a Chromium fork. Not a hack. A completely new browser written in Zig.
