i made an app to rank the healthiest options on a menu

I built this because I hate combing through menus to find good options.

Just input your dietary preferences, scan a menu, and see the best options (literally, "see" them highlighted on the menu).

i made a dead simple App Store screenshot maker

i actually built this as an internal tool for my own app.

I googled "App store screenshot maker" and the websites i found were super clunky and complicated. 50+ buttons, confusing UX, need to sign up.

so i just built out my own one. try it here: https://ezscreenshots.com

Created an app to find PubMed citations for any food

I actually made this to scratch my own itch.

Other apps showed me calories and "scores". Couldn't find anything that told me what's healthy, backed by PubMed studies.

I combined food scanning with PubMed search, so I could scan any food, find scientific studies behind it, and then get a "good or bad" verdict

i coded an app to compare which food is healthier for you

i actually made this to scratch my own itch.

the other apps were all giving me calories, "scores", etc. what i wanted was science-backed answers on what's healthy -- for me and my health goals.

so i just built it myself.

i'm not quite happy with how our screenshots are turning out. i'm wondering if you can make a lightweight "screenshot maker" for our app as follows:

1. there's a 1284x2778 frame (fixed). in that frame, there's a bit image-dropper where i can drop my phone's screenshot and it automatically gets put into the frame (with a little bit of padding on left and right and below). frame maintains the same background as right now. if the image i drop is same size as frame we resize a bit to maintain our padding, etc.

2. above there's a text overlay that i can customize similar to how i have "tweaks" right now to customize each screen's text. the italics (terracotta) and newline logic works in there

3. i can export the frame as a png of 1284x2778

this is the main ask. don't worry about "iphone frames" i'll handle that from a different tool

a secondary "amazing if it works" ask would be if i could add "overlays" on an existing frame. this is like those screenshots where a portion of the screen is zoomed in and made bigger (and overflows a bit outside main screen, unless it's just a small portion that i make bigger). that's a bigger ask to handle (eg resizing it etc) but would be cool if it works.
