Show HN: Claude and 80 commits later: Web app for drawing curved text on photos
8 days ago (curvedtext.io)
This is my first hacker news post!
Problem: I wanted to add curved text to my photos for those aesthetic social media shots you see everywhere, without buying an iPad or learning complex design tools. Canva was the closest option, but it required breaking text into multiple elements and manually bending and repositioning each one - too tedious and time consuming.
Since I couldn't find a simple solution, I built one.
After weeks of orchestrating Claude, playing with svgs, fixing bugs, testing and tuning different curving algorithms, it does exactly what I needed. You draw the line and text follows.
It lets you: - Draw curved text over photos - Adjust font, color, and style easily - Export images with text instantly
Over 1,000 Reddit users tried it this week and I got really positive comments.

Would love to get your feedback!
