Founder of Stencil here, I'll be around to answer questions.

This project started after I started playing with RC plane and was looking for ways to overlay telemetry data on my video. I realized that there's actually a similar use case but for images instead and pivoted to this idea.

Took around 7 months to build while working full-time. My expectation was around 3 months but as any software project, deadline is just a suggestion. Having a toddler in a pandemic does not help expedite the process :D

Overall I had really fun building this.

For those curious, this is the stack.

Backend - Elixir with LiveView Frontend - Rescript with RescriptReact Deployment - Kubernetes deployed to managed DO kubernetes cluster


This is really cool. I find myself generating cover images for social media for blog posts and then re-using the image and changing the text overlay often. I’ve done this manually in figma, and I’ve been hesitant to use other solutions because of the price. Your pricing is more aligned with small project needs/budgets, which is nice.


Thanks! I have been thinking about the pricing lately. There seems to be a demand for something like a starter plan with lower price and quota - not everyone needs 1500 images per month. However at lower price, there will be more support works to be done. Would you still use the product at lower price with lower support priority?



Why We Sleep is really good. It really changed my view on sleep.


Thanks yes! Also changed my view about coffee


What OS are you running? I'm really curious on your setup if you're running Linux. I have the same Thinkpad but it's impossible for me to the the idle wattage like that.



That’s what I’m using, not mbrumlow. Also I just upgraded to 18.10 to get a newer kernel and a newer version of the r8169 module. That unlocked PC7 idle states and increased my battery life by 50%.


Not all people have English as their first language.


I know. The OP asked how he could become a better programmer.


Are there cyript like alternative for Android?

Currently looking for opportunities to work across the stack with other talented engineers on challenging, engaging projects that solve difficult problems. I've given talk during PyCon Malaysia recently about interesting project that I worked on recently. It involved lots of heavy and time consuming data calculation.

My background is in Maths (Uni of Wisconsin-Madison), but I have been coding professionally for a while now.


It's just an alias, but the way I use it is different. When declaring variable I opt for `string` but of course you should probably user `var`. But when calling method bound to the class, I would use `String`, i.e `String.format()`, etc


I tend to do the same.

I find there is some kind of "logic" to this idea :D


Do you also `Int32.Parse`?

I just stick with `string` everywhere.


Change to different desktop by tapping on the bottom right/left of your screen.


That's Shadowbook. Like Smackbook, but it uses the Macbook's ambient light sensor instead of the accelerometer. Haven't found that one yet.


Do you know exactly where? I couldn't find it.


I don’t have Yosemite, but in Mavericks, you can change it in System Preferences > Sound > Sound Effects, by checking the checkbox “Play feedback when volume is changed”.
