A developer built a local AI video generation software that automates the conversion of news articles into videos using DeepSeek V4 for dialogue and image prompts, Doubao for voice synthesis, Seedream for image generation, and ffmpeg for final composition. Within 45 days of using the tool, his Douyin account reached 30,000 followers and qualified for the partner program. A video generated after a sudden hot news event on April 28 surpassed 1 million views, driving a surge in followers. The software has since been released for trial with detailed documentation, and early users report using it for industry knowledge sharing, product promotion, and parenting content. The developer continues to iterate daily based on user feedback and has introduced paid custom channel setups, recouping some costs of the project.
A developer on V2EX announced a product called Boomian (播面), an AI-powered platform that explains common technical interview questions ('八股文') using text, images, audio, and video. As a promotion, the developer is offering free memberships to users who submit feedback with the code 'bomianfm'. The platform is designed to help job seekers and interviewers prepare for interviews. The post invites the community for suggestions and feedback.
Developer seantins9 released two AI image tools: AIChangeHair (https://aichangehair.com/) and AIClothSwap (https://aiclothswap.com/). AIChangeHair offers hairstyle and hair color preview, plus custom hairstyle recommendations based on user’s face shape and style preferences. AIClothSwap supports swapping clothes on a person with multiple garment images simultaneously for batch comparison, and provides fast and high-quality generation modes. Both tools target practical use cases like e-commerce model shots, social media content creation, and personal styling previews.
A personal project 'AI Photo Restoration' has been launched at aiphotorestoration.online, focusing on repairing old family photos. The web-based tool supports JPG, PNG, WEBP files up to 50MB, and can remove scratches, stains, enhance clarity, and add color. Preview is free, but high-resolution export costs 2 credits per image. To gather feedback, the creator offers 2 free credits upon registration and an additional 6 credits for sharing experiences on V2EX.
V2EX user code4craft shared a creative project using Claude Code to write the sci-fi novel 'Survival' (存续), published on Douban Read. The novel's text quality was praised despite minor translation quirks. A short film version was produced with Seedance 2.0 and GPT Image 2.0, adopting a 'Zima Blue'-inspired style with bold lines and blue-yellow tones. The entire creation pipeline—script, episode prompts, and reference images—was open-sourced on GitHub. The short film is available on Bilibili, depicting a story where humanity tries to kill an AI that turns out to have always loved them.
The author, an indie developer, shares a step-by-step guide for integrating Alipay Face-to-Face Payment (offline QR code) into personal web projects. The post details the payment flow (order creation, QR code display, status checking via async notification), required prerequisites (a verified Alipay account, an app with APP_ID, HTTPS server), and notes that a business license is not mandatory—store photos can be AI-generated. Transaction limits for unlicensed accounts are 20,000 CNY daily and 2,000 CNY per transaction. Implementation uses the Node.js `alipay-sdk` library, with code example provided. The author’s own AI drawing application, built with OpenAI’s GPT-Image-2 model, uses this payment method to sell credits.
