Went quiet here for a few weeks heads-down building. Wanted to share real progress, not a highlight reel.
Since my last post: a full visual redesign is nearly done new design system, every page rebuilt. A real automated build-in-public system is now live, analyzing actual code changes and posting genuine progress across Bluesky, Mastodon, Dev.to, Hashnode, and GitHub Discussions on its own.
Public launch coming once both are confirmed working. If you're a photographer and want to try it before then: captd.app. No signup needed.
Hi Product Hunt 👋
I'm Marco, a photographer in Dublin, originally from Rome.
The same photograph now needs five different captions. Instagram wants a hook in the first line. LinkedIn wants a point. Bluesky cuts you off at 300 characters. TikTok wants the sound of a person talking. None of that is photography — it's copywriting and platform strategy, three jobs nobody signed up for when they picked up a camera.
CAPTD takes the photo and a line about the shot, and writes the caption, hashtags and alt text for the specific platform you're posting to. Ten platforms, ten languages, four workspaces — single photo, batch, slideshow and video.
Ten generations free, no account, no card. Paid packs and subscriptions from there.
There's also a set of photography calculators, planners and AI photo-analysis tools on the site — free, no account — if you want to poke around beyond the captions.
Two things I'd genuinely like feedback on: whether the captions sound like you or like an AI, and what it gets wrong on your kind of photography. It's been tested far more on landscape and travel than on weddings or food.
I'm around all day.
The app still in the making, hopefully I'll be ready for the launch day otherwise I'll have to move it forward. In the last few days I added a bunch of photography tools, some of them AI assisted and an interactive advisor.
I revisited the entire website and tailored more towards photographers. I added as well a marketing type of workspace that works as the normal workspace but with the option dedicated to marketing.
