Show HN: I built a "time machine" with Gemini 3

bosschow — Thu, 11 Dec 2025 03:13:03 +0000

Hi HN,

I built a fun toy using Gemini 3.

It’s simple: Upload a photo of yourself, pick a time and place, and see what you look like.

I’ve been testing it with "1920s NYC" and "Ancient Rome" — the consistency is actually pretty wild.

Just for fun, give it a try:

Tried it — the “paste URL → get 10+ pieces of content” workflow is actually pretty smooth.

The Twitter thread + LinkedIn summary were solid enough to use with minimal editing. The faceless video generator is interesting too, though still a bit rough (as expected for an MVP).

As someone who repurposes a lot of long-form content, this could save a meaningful amount of time if the quality keeps improving. Curious to see how far the multi-platform angle can go.

Show HN: A tiny chat-style prompt generator I built for myself

I made this because writing prompts was taking way too much time… and honestly, my results weren’t great. So I put together a small chat-style tool that helps me shape better prompts with way less effort. For me, the output is already better than what I usually write, which is a nice upgrade. It’s free to use. There are some limits just to avoid abuse. If you try it and have suggestions (or complaints), I’d love to hear them. I’ll keep improving it and slowly increase the free quota over time.

Show HN: Lenscraft – Shoot Photos from Google Street

bosschow — Tue, 25 Nov 2025 06:22:07 +0000

Made a silly little project(https://d01.dailyaiship.com/) over the weekend - a virtual camera that uses Google Street View as the viewfinder.

You can adjust all the camera settings (focal length, aperture, ISO, shutter speed) and apply film simulations. It's basically a DSLR simulator but you're shooting street view panoramas instead of real photos.

Built with Next.js, uses Google Street View API for the viewfinder and Static API to capture the actual image. Added some film simulation filters and optional AI enhancement.
