Founder of Stencil here, I'll be around to answer questions.

This project started after I started playing with RC plane and was looking for ways to overlay telemetry data on my video. I realized that there's actually a similar use case but for images instead and pivoted to this idea.

Took around 7 months to build while working full-time. My expectation was around 3 months but as any software project, deadline is just a suggestion. Having a toddler in a pandemic does not help expedite the process :D

Overall I had really fun building this.

For those curious, this is the stack.

Backend - Elixir with LiveView Frontend - Rescript with RescriptReact Deployment - Kubernetes deployed to managed DO kubernetes cluster

This is really cool. I find myself generating cover images for social media for blog posts and then re-using the image and changing the text overlay often. I’ve done this manually in figma, and I’ve been hesitant to use other solutions because of the price. Your pricing is more aligned with small project needs/budgets, which is nice.

Thanks! I have been thinking about the pricing lately. There seems to be a demand for something like a starter plan with lower price and quota - not everyone needs 1500 images per month. However at lower price, there will be more support works to be done. Would you still use the product at lower price with lower support priority?
