PRODUCT HIGHLIGHT
Make your screen recordings stand out from the crowd with this tool

Let's be real — making your screen recordings look slick and professional isn't always a walk in the park. Between software that's either too basic or overly complicated, it can feel like more trouble than it's worth. 

Phia wants to change that. It's a browser-based screen recorder that enhances your videos with smooth mouse movements, intelligent zooms, motion blur, and customizable backgrounds—all without the need for complex software.

Created by Zaid, a designer and coder with a passion for animation and technology, Phia was born out of his frustrations with the limitations of existing tools. He wanted something that combined creative flexibility with ease of use without tying users to a specific platform. So, he built Phia to empower others to create remarkable content effortlessly.

Using Phia is straightforward. Install the Chrome extension, hit record, and let the tool handle the rest. It automatically adds polished effects like dynamic title animations and seamless transitions, giving your videos a professional touch without the steep learning curve.

To celebrate Phia’s launch. Zaid is offering Product Hunt users a special discount for today only.

FROM DEEPER LEARNING
Social media minus the humans

Imagine logging into a social network where every post you share gets a response—but all from AI followers. SocialAI offers just that: a personal and private social experience where millions of AI-generated users engage with your content. It's like having your own exclusive community that interacts with you without any of the unpredictability that sometimes comes with real-life social media.

While traditional platforms connect you with friends, family, and acquaintances, SocialAI offers a different approach. It creates a "social" internet without humans, allowing you to simulate interactions as if you were engaging with real people but without the complicated, and unpredictable parts of human interactions.

As Chris Messina puts it: "Imagine that you have no friends, but you also use the internet. What if you could build a 'social' internet without humans where you could simulate interactions as if you were interacting with real humans?"

FROM THE DEV TOOLS NEWSLETTER
Go from design to code in no time with this extension

Superflex is an AI assistant designed to accelerate front-end development by turning ideas into code using Figma designs, images, or text prompts. It matches your coding style and leverages your existing UI components, effectively acting like a junior developer who understands your preferences. As a VSCode extension, it integrates seamlessly into your workflow, making the process of building front-end code more accessible and efficient.

You might be thinking, "Is this similar to other tools like Cursor?" On the surface, there are similarities. However, Superflex sets itself apart by focusing specifically on front-end development. This specialization allows it to provide more accurate code generation that aligns with your design system and utilizes your UI components, offering a tailored experience that general-purpose tools may not provide.

As the Superflex team explains, "We initially built this out of our own frustrations of spending too much time writing front-end code and dealing with UI components. We would rather spend more time on business logic than matching our front-end to Figma files." Superflex aims to address this issue by streamlining front-end coding tasks, allowing developers to concentrate on the core aspects of their projects.
