However, I know there is <strong>HUGE room for improvement</strong>, and I'm here to humbly ask the senior engineers, UI designers, and video tech creators in this community to roast my project! 🛠️</p> <h3> 🛠️ Tech Stack &amp; Architecture </h3> <ul> <li> <strong>Frontend</strong>: Next.js, Tailwind CSS, Canvas API (for interactive brushing)</li> <li> <strong>Backend &amp; Auth</strong>: Supabase</li> <li> <strong>Hosting</strong>: Vercel</li> <li> <strong>AI Core</strong>: Frame-by-frame background reconstruction model optimized to preserve original video resolution.</li> </ul> <h3> 🎯 4 Specific Things I Need Your Advice On: </h3> <p>I would be forever grateful if you could test <strong><a href="https://wordremover.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">wordremover.com</a></strong> and give me your honest, unfiltered feedback:</p> <ol> <li> <strong>UI/UX &amp; Interactions</strong>: Does the brush overlay and timeline navigation feel responsive? How can I make the mask selection feel more intuitive?</li> <li> <strong>AI Reconstruction Edge Cases</strong>: In what specific video scenarios (e.g., complex motion, dense gradients, low contrast) did the AI background recovery fail or look artifact-heavy?</li> <li> <strong>Performance &amp; Latency</strong>: Any architecture tips on optimizing web canvas rendering or reducing video encoding/decoding overhead?</li> <li> <strong>Codebase &amp; Product Advice</strong>: If you were rebuilding this from scratch, what's one thing you would architect differently?</li> </ol> <h3> 🔗 Try It Out Here </h3> <p>👉 <strong><a href="https://wordremover.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://wordremover.com</a></strong></p> <p>Don't hold back — brutal honesty, UI roasts, and technical suggestions are all warmly welcomed in the comments below! </p> <p>Thank you so much for your time and wisdom! 🙏</p> ai showdev webdev beginners
