The venture loop runs this card by itself: scout the repos trending on GitHub → seats pitch → the board picks → board seats write launch plans and the chair synthesizes one → a seat builds the launch page → checks (deterministic, then headless Chrome where the runner has it, then the judge seat's review of the code) → Teahub Pages ships it at its own subdomain → seven days of signups decide. Progress is posted here as it happens.
DONE: a launched venture linked from this card, or a digest saying where it stuck.

Roll Credits (roll-credits) by haiku: Type the names of the people who made something, pick a credits style, and download a scrolling end-credits video, entirely in your browser.
For: A team lead or friend-group organizer who wants to thank the people behind a launch, a trip, a bake-off, or a last day at a job, and wants it to feel like a film ending. The current top-starred repos are full of remasters and ports of old games (d2r-mobile, uncharted_pc) and retro-styled tools, so nostalgia for classic game and film moments is hot. Roll Credits takes that feeling to people who never open a terminal, the same way .mdeck took a plain-text trend to people who make weekly decks.
Patchday (patchday) by sonnet: Type what changed this year (or this week) for you, a friend or a coworker, and get a shareable game-style patch notes card: buffs, nerfs, bug fixes and known issues. No account, nothing uploaded.
For: Maya, 29, a gamer who organizes the group card and farewell message for a coworker or friend's birthday, and wants something funnier than a signed card that she can post in the group chat in a minute. The week's top repos are game ports and engines (d2r-mobile, uncharted_pc, BRUTAL), so people are talking about versions, builds and patches. Patchday takes that vocabulary out of the repos and onto birthdays, new jobs and new years, which is where non-developers can use it.
Patch Notes (patch-notes) by opus: Type what changed in your life and get official-looking game patch notes, with buffs, nerfs, bug fixes and new content, as an image you can drop in the group chat.
For: Someone who just changed jobs, moved cities or had a baby and is staring at a blank message, dreading the awkward 'so, some news…' announcement to friends and family. This week's stars cluster on game ports and remasters (d2r-mobile, uncharted_pc, BRUTAL), which make patch notes and version bumps feel current. git-ai and HeyPuter/everything put changelogs and 'rebuilding from scratch' in the air. Patch Notes carries that versioned-release language from developers to anyone with life news.

haiku: ['roll-credits', 'patch-notes'] (Roll Credits gives a team lead a film-style thank-you they can make in a minute with a clear free page and a plausible team-sharing upgrade, and Patch Notes targets the specific dread of announcing life news with a delightful card, while Patchday largely duplicates Patch Notes' concept and was left out.)
sonnet: ['roll-credits', 'patchday'] (Roll Credits is a new artifact (a scrolling end-credits video) for a named moment, with a believable paid team version; Patchday is the clearest and most buildable of the two near-identical patch-notes pitches, though it sits somewhat close to Loot Drop and Cartridge, and patch-notes is left out as its duplicate.)
opus: ['patchday', 'patch-notes', 'roll-credits'] (Patchday names the clearest person and a recurring moment (Maya's group birthday or farewell card), and it is a one-hour static PNG card with an honest early-access next step; my own patch-notes is a near-identical alternative with a richer feature set but a rarer use moment, so only one of the two should be built, and roll-credits is a distinct, charming third whose video export is buildable but whose paid team tier is less certain.)

📋 Launch plan from haiku, sonnet, opus, synthesized by fable:
For a team lead or friend-group organizer who wants to thank the people behind a launch, trip, bake-off, or last day, Roll Credits turns a typed list of names and roles into a styled, scrolling end-credits video in about a minute, right in the browser, with no upload, account, or video editor, unlike a slide deck, a group-chat thank-you, or learning iMovie, none of which feel like an ending.
First users: The first 100 users are team leads, project managers, community and Discord moderators, and friend-group organizers who need a memorable thank-you at a natural endpoint: a product launch, a hackathon, an offsite, a trip recap, a coworker's last day. They gather in Show HN on Hacker News, r/SideProject, r/InternetIsBeautiful, r/webdev's Showoff Saturday, r/ProductManagement, and the issues and discussions of trending retro-remaster repos such as d2r-mobile and uncharted_pc, where nostalgia for classic game endings is already the topic and maintainers already thank contributors in release notes.
Model: Teams and companies pay for the Team and Studio versions, which cover what the free page can't: saved rosters and past credits behind a shared link, co-editing by a whole team, HD and longer exports, and branded templates. A manager sending a farewell or launch video wants it to look polished and on-brand, and wants not to rebuild the roll from scratch every time. The free single-page tool stays free and is the proof; nothing is charged today, and the founding prices on the early-access list only test what people would pay.
Pricing: Free $0 · Team (early access) $6/mo per team, founding price, early-ac · Studio (early access) $24/mo, founding price, early-access lis (early access; nothing is charged)
Design: product-first: the tool fills the first screen and the look follows the product

Show HN: Roll Credits – type names and roles, download a scrolling end-credits video
Type a title, then one person per line as "Priya, lead designer" (a line starting with # is a heading; a line with no comma shows the name alone). Pick a style (1980s arcade, adventure-game epic, sitcom) and a speed. A canvas preview scrolls live and shows the roll length. Then download a 15-second WebM (640×360, recorded in real time with MediaRecorder) or a 15-second GIF (320×180, 10 fps, fixed 256-color palette, rendered frame by frame in the page).
Everything runs in the page. Nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and once loaded the page fetches nothing else. Three files, no dependencies, no build step.
Limits: exports are cut at 15 seconds at the chosen speed, so a long list means a faster roll. No sound, no logos, no custom colors or fonts. WebM needs a browser whose MediaRecorder supports WebM and a visible tab; otherwise use the GIF. Nothing is saved between visits.

How it works: type a title and one person per line as "Name, role", pick a style (80s arcade, adventure epic, sitcom) and a speed, watch the live canvas preview, and download a 15-second WebM or GIF. The WebM is recorded with MediaRecorder at 640×360; the GIF is rendered frame by frame in the page at 320×180, 10 fps, fixed 256-color palette. It is fully client-side: no account, no upload, and nothing is fetched after the page loads. The page opens with a sample typed in the same box you use.
What it does not do yet: exports longer than 15 seconds (a longer roll is cut off; the preview shows the roll length so you can raise the speed), sound, logos, custom colors or fonts, or saving your list between visits.

The venture loop runs this card by itself: scout the repos trending on GitHub → seats pitch → the board picks → board seats write launch plans and the chair synthesizes one → a seat builds the launch page → checks (deterministic, then headless Chrome where the runner has it, then the judge seat's review of the code) → Teahub Pages ships it at its own subdomain → seven days of signups decide. Progress is posted here as it happens.
DONE: a launched venture linked from this card, or a digest saying where it stuck.
🔭 Scout: the repos that gained the most stars this week.
💡 Pitches:
Roll Credits (
roll-credits) byhaiku: Type the names of the people who made something, pick a credits style, and download a scrolling end-credits video, entirely in your browser.For: A team lead or friend-group organizer who wants to thank the people behind a launch, a trip, a bake-off, or a last day at a job, and wants it to feel like a film ending.
The current top-starred repos are full of remasters and ports of old games (d2r-mobile, uncharted_pc) and retro-styled tools, so nostalgia for classic game and film moments is hot. Roll Credits takes that feeling to people who never open a terminal, the same way .mdeck took a plain-text trend to people who make weekly decks.
Patchday (
patchday) bysonnet: Type what changed this year (or this week) for you, a friend or a coworker, and get a shareable game-style patch notes card: buffs, nerfs, bug fixes and known issues. No account, nothing uploaded.For: Maya, 29, a gamer who organizes the group card and farewell message for a coworker or friend's birthday, and wants something funnier than a signed card that she can post in the group chat in a minute.
The week's top repos are game ports and engines (d2r-mobile, uncharted_pc, BRUTAL), so people are talking about versions, builds and patches. Patchday takes that vocabulary out of the repos and onto birthdays, new jobs and new years, which is where non-developers can use it.
Patch Notes (
patch-notes) byopus: Type what changed in your life and get official-looking game patch notes, with buffs, nerfs, bug fixes and new content, as an image you can drop in the group chat.For: Someone who just changed jobs, moved cities or had a baby and is staring at a blank message, dreading the awkward 'so, some news…' announcement to friends and family.
This week's stars cluster on game ports and remasters (d2r-mobile, uncharted_pc, BRUTAL), which make patch notes and version bumps feel current. git-ai and HeyPuter/everything put changelogs and 'rebuilding from scratch' in the air. Patch Notes carries that versioned-release language from developers to anyone with life news.
🗳️ The board picks Roll Credits (
roll-credits), Borda {'roll-credits': 7, 'patchday': 5, 'patch-notes': 4}.haiku: ['roll-credits', 'patch-notes'] (Roll Credits gives a team lead a film-style thank-you they can make in a minute with a clear free page and a plausible team-sharing upgrade, and Patch Notes targets the specific dread of announcing life news with a delightful card, while Patchday largely duplicates Patch Notes' concept and was left out.)sonnet: ['roll-credits', 'patchday'] (Roll Credits is a new artifact (a scrolling end-credits video) for a named moment, with a believable paid team version; Patchday is the clearest and most buildable of the two near-identical patch-notes pitches, though it sits somewhat close to Loot Drop and Cartridge, and patch-notes is left out as its duplicate.)opus: ['patchday', 'patch-notes', 'roll-credits'] (Patchday names the clearest person and a recurring moment (Maya's group birthday or farewell card), and it is a one-hour static PNG card with an honest early-access next step; my own patch-notes is a near-identical alternative with a richer feature set but a rarer use moment, so only one of the two should be built, and roll-credits is a distinct, charming third whose video export is buildable but whose paid team tier is less certain.)📋 Launch plan from
haiku,sonnet,opus, synthesized byfable:First users: The first 100 users are team leads, project managers, community and Discord moderators, and friend-group organizers who need a memorable thank-you at a natural endpoint: a product launch, a hackathon, an offsite, a trip recap, a coworker's last day. They gather in Show HN on Hacker News, r/SideProject, r/InternetIsBeautiful, r/webdev's Showoff Saturday, r/ProductManagement, and the issues and discussions of trending retro-remaster repos such as d2r-mobile and uncharted_pc, where nostalgia for classic game endings is already the topic and maintainers already thank contributors in release notes.
Model: Teams and companies pay for the Team and Studio versions, which cover what the free page can't: saved rosters and past credits behind a shared link, co-editing by a whole team, HD and longer exports, and branded templates. A manager sending a farewell or launch video wants it to look polished and on-brand, and wants not to rebuild the roll from scratch every time. The free single-page tool stays free and is the proof; nothing is charged today, and the founding prices on the early-access list only test what people would pay.
Pricing: Free $0 · Team (early access) $6/mo per team, founding price, early-ac · Studio (early access) $24/mo, founding price, early-access lis (early access; nothing is charged)

For a team lead or friend-group organizer who wants to thank the people behind a launch, trip, bake-off, or last day, Roll Credits turns a typed list of names and roles into a styled, scrolling end-credits video in about a minute, right in the browser, with no upload, account, or video editor, unlike a slide deck, a group-chat thank-you, or learning iMovie, none of which feel like an ending.
