Pika Screenshot Editor VS aptakube

Some of them are doing very well, checkout brandbird.app or pika.style for example 😄

You don't need, try use pika.style it's really nice you took screen shot and it make them looks better

being a designer, i share my experiments in UI and design on Twitter and some other sites. to present designs, i used to beautify them in Figma. this was a routine process where i would open Figma, create a gradient background for my design, add shadows, rounded corners etc. and export the image in correct size, so if i’m to share it on Dribbble I would export it in Dribbble size, for Twitter the size is different

this whole process used to take like 20 to 30 minutes easily. so i built an app https://pika.style to do all of that for me quickly

it started as a hobby, open-source and free to use project which i was building in public on my twitter(@thelifeofrishi). in a matter of time i started getting DMs on Twitter for feature requests

i remember a founder of a company wanted to have a certain feature, we discussed that and in the end i asked whether he would be happy paying for that feature, to which he said yes. i added the requested feature in 2 days and got back to him, he instantly purchased annual subscription and started using Pika. that was in February, 2022

fast forward to today, almost an year later, Pika now has 150+ paid users and makes $1,500+ in revenue each month. i’ve turned it from just a screenshot beautifying tool to a tool to design very customisable mockups and images. you can use it to generate images for your website, app, code, tweet etc. and to keep it more accessible, it has a free tier which doesn’t even require registration to use

i’ve also added a plan just for students and teachers so they can use Pika’s paid fearures at a very discounted subscription fee

if you’re a programmer, marketer, designer, no coder or work in the tech industry, i think you’ll definitely find Pika useful :)

I use pika.style and I'd say it is the best screenshot application out there. It is a web app, simply drop your image and customize it.

Hola hackers! I’m Rishi(https://twitter.com/thelifeofrishi) and I’ve been building Pika(https://pika.style), a screenshot beautifier app to quickly generate images for marketing, blog posts, social sharing and more.

Pika is a result of me spending too much time in designing screenshots in Figma, choosing the gradients, shadows, backgrounds etc. I thought I could quicken this process through a simple app.

With Pika, you can:

It is on Github here - https://github.com/rishimohan/pika, I haven’t decided on the license yet.

Are you specifically looking for a free Kubernetes GUI?

If you’re open to commercial options, have a look at what Aptakube (https://aptakube.com) can do.

One feature that sets it apart from other UIs is connecting to multiple clusters simultaneously and seeing all resources in a single table.

Disclaimer: I’m the author

During my previous job, when we were migrating to Kubernetes I couldn’t really find a GUI app that I liked, and most importantly, that could connect to multiple clusters simultaneously. We had 6 clusters and having to switch context constantly was annoying

I ended up building one [1] to use myself, shared with a few people and they loved it. I asked if they’d pay for it and to my surprise, a lot of people said yes. I’ve put up a website and a “pre-order” button with a regressive monthly discount. Sales were going up month after month, and a few months later I decided to quit my job to go all in on it.

Today, I’m averaging on ~€5k/mo from this app, but I’m still doing some part time freelancing, as well as building other products that are not as successful, but are making >€1000/mo

The latest one is open source, privacy friendly analytics for apps [2] that I’m still very actively working on. This is my current “side project” as the previous side project became my main job :)

There’s also an open source upvote site [3] that I haven’t had much time to work on lately, but still generating $$ monthly.

In case you're into Kubernetes, check out Aptakube, a Kubernetes Desktop Client built with Tauri 😊

Aptakube is GUI application for Kubernetes that uses the same Kubeconfig files we mentioned above and can connect to multiple clusters at the same time. It essentially presents all your Kubernetes resources as if it was a single clusters. We invite you to try it out free today 😊

I have two projects, combined doing ~€1500/mo

https://fider.io - an open source alternative to UserVoice. I started this one 6 years ago to learn Go and React. I’ve seen thousands of instances out there being self hosted, so I started a cloud hosting to those who don’t want to manage it themselves.

https://aptakube.com - Desktop Client for Kubernetes. This is very recent, launch was 2 weeks ago, so it’s only starting to get some traction now.

I’m leaving my job to go full time indie hacker now, wish me luck!

I'm giving a shot on https://aptakube.com. not OSS, but so far has been a great alternative to lens and k9s. The guy behind it made a thread here a while ago.

Thanks again for sharing your feedback! In case you have more, you can drop them here or add them to https://github.com/aptakube/aptakube
