tiiny.host Landing Page
Description:
A clean, friendly landing page for tiiny.host, the easiest way to put a file online and share it with a link.
The goal was to make the product feel as simple as it actually is. The upload box sits right in the hero, so visitors can drag in a file and get a live link without scrolling or signing up first.
What I focused on:
1. Upload-first hero with a clear “Upload a File” action and file type tabs (Docs, Images, Code, Samples)
2. Hand-drawn illustrations and script accents to keep the tone light and approachable
3. Social proof up top: 500K+ users and logos like Salesforce, Nestlé, and Square
4. Soft sky gradient and plenty of breathing room so nothing feels technical or intimidating

🚀 Introducing Screen Buddy, Your AI Companion for Windows 11! 🤖
Every developer knows the pain of pressing Alt + Tab 50 times a day just to understand complex text or translate something.
The Problem?
Highlight ➜ Copy ➜ Switch to Browser ➜ Paste into ChatGPT ➜ Switch Back.
It breaks your focus and kills your productivity.
💡 The Solution: Screen Buddy
I built Screen Buddy, a cute and lightweight AI companion that helps you understand text without leaving your workflow.
✨ How does it work?
Select text in any app, Code Editor, PDF, Browser, or Terminal.
Get instant explanations in Simple English + Urdu translation right beside your cursor.
No copy-pasting. No screen switching. Just select and understand!
🛠️ Built With & Key Features:
Core: Tauri v2 + Rust
Text Detection: Native Win32 UI Automation - zero screenshots or OCR
Performance: Optimized rendering with around 1% idle CPU usage
AI Engines: Run privately with local Ollama models
Open Source: 100% open source for everyone to explore, use, and contribute!
🎉 The response has been amazing!
After seeing 96+ developers clone the project on GitHub within just 48 hours, I decided to make Screen Buddy fully open source.
