His app ships in 16 languages, and the AI’s screenshot tool gave him his weekends back

Every release of his app used to cost him a weekend taking store screenshots in 16 languages, cropping them and pasting them into store cards. He and the AI built a small tool that drives headless Chrome through the real app, grabs the screens in each language and composes the finished cards with captions and backgrounds. A release is now one command.

How it works

  1. Describe the manual weekend process
  2. Build a tool that drives the real app in headless Chrome
  3. Capture screens in all 16 languages
  4. Compose cards with captions and backgrounds
  5. Run per release

Why it’s worth knowing

Nobody will ever see this tool. It has no users and no future, and it is the thing he is proudest of, because it returns his weekends.
