Hi HN,
I built ThumbNew because I noticed a gap between high-end design tools and the speed required for modern content creation.
Most creators spend hours in Canva or Photoshop not because they want to "design," but because they need a high-CTR visual for their video. I wanted to see if I could automate the "vibe" and layout part using AI to generate production-ready thumbnails in seconds.
Technical bits / Why I built this:
Speed: It’s built to be near-instant. The UI is focused on "get in, get out."
Tech Stack: Hosted on Netlify, leveraging AI for the image generation and layout logic.
The "Vibe": I went with a neo-brutalist aesthetic to move away from the generic SaaS look we see everywhere in 2026.
I’m specifically looking for feedback on:
The UX: Is the "instant" generation intuitive enough?
The Output: Are the thumbnails actually usable for your projects?
The Logic: What features would make this a "must-have" for your workflow?
I'll be around to answer any questions
