Show HN: Capit – Social Media Image Caption Generator

3 pointsby jclardyover 1 year ago
Hey HN! I just recently released my latest iOS App, Capit - it is a simple app built to generate captions for social media posts, all directly from images &amp; video, utilizing gpt-4-vision. Users just choose an image, select a tone, and get 5 great caption options.<p>My latest update adds Profiles to allow you to save your settings for different social media profiles, along with a simple caption editor to let you customize your captions further.<p>The app is a subscription service - but lets you try it for free if you just hit the X button on the paywall.<p>I built the app as my wife runs a small business for which Instagram is a huge traffic generator...but she often gets stumped at what to write in terms of captions, especially when we&#x27;ve been open for years and it feels like you are just recycling content in many cases. Capit isn&#x27;t really meant to automatically post for you - it is a tool for improving your own creativity.<p>I&#x27;d appreciate any &amp; all feedback!

Also thought I&#x27;d add the stack I used:<p>App is native SwiftUI. Backend is entirely Firebase, Firestore, Auth, Functions, Storage.<p>I&#x27;m currently looking into setting up Gemini as a backup service in case openAI is down. In addition, looking at expanding the app to a more general &quot;caption&quot; app - supporting starting with text drafts, AI rewrites, hashtag groupings and more, also possibly getting into closed captioning videos and other similar things.
