Learn about the story behind PixCut and other works from our developers.
Hi, I'm the developer of PixCut, let's talk about how it came to be
Hello, I'm a solo developer, and today I want to chat with you about a small tool I made - PixCut. How did it come about? It was quite random, just a night of inspiration. I was browsing GitHub as usual, looking for interesting open-source projects. I came across smartcrop.js, and when I saw the description, I thought, "This is exactly what I've been looking for!"
Then I saw Hermite resize algorithm, which is specifically designed for resizing images while maintaining image quality. My mind "clicked" and I thought: Why don't I try to make a tool with these?
That night, I made a very simple version of it. The interface was very rough, just a few buttons, but it could already cut out important areas of the image. I tried cutting a photo, and it turned out pretty good, and I felt great because I finally had a handy little thing.
Then I thought, why not add some features to make it more useful? So I gradually added things to it:
As I kept adding features, PixCut went from a rough version to a somewhat decent image processing helper.
