About

Full-stack developer and designer building infrastructure for the programmatic design era. Currently building PixelDrive an engine optimized for high-speed, zero-cost edge cached image generation, built natively for developers and autonomous AI workflows. Building blocks I focus on: - High-performance visual rendering pipelines. - MCP tool integration for LLMs and automated AI agents. - Open-source design tools and custom developer ecosystems. Feel free to reach out if you want to geek out over API design, visual automation workflows, or web performance architecture!

NotchDesk - Your next meeting and clipboard, one hover away in the notch

NotchDesk turns the MacBook notch into a countdown to your next meeting, with one-click Join (or Ctrl-Cmd-J from any app), and a private clipboard history you can search, even text inside screenshots. It works with the calendars already in macOS Calendar. No account, nothing leaves your Mac. Native app for macOS 14+.

We launched an API & MCP-first image engine. What should we build next?

Hey Product Hunt!

Now that the core engine for PixelDrive is live and the API is humming along nicely, I'm looking closely at our immediate product roadmap. Instead of guessing, I want to build exactly what you need to scale your visual automation workflows.

To give you a quick recap of what's under the hood right now:

  • 19ms Global Edge Caching: Identical requests completely bypass compute, serving images instantly at exactly 0 credit cost.

  • Hosted MCP Server (26 Tools): Built natively so AI agents (like Claude or Cursor) can programmatically spin up templates, read layers, and autonomously nudge layout coordinates to fix text wrapping.

  • Vector Layout Engine: No heavy, slow headless browsers (Puppeteer/Playwright).

We just launched an API & MCP-first image press. Ask us anything!

Hey Product Hunt community!

I m Rutvik, the founder behind PixelDrive. We just officially hit the launch stage today!

The motivation behind building PixelDrive came from a massive headache I faced constantly as a developer: the traditional pricing and architectural model of image generation APIs. Most platforms track every layout tweak, visual preview, or identical repeat asset request as a premium billable event. If you need to hotlink dynamic renders inside mass email campaigns or use them for high-traffic open-graph (`og:image`) tags, the costs run wild.

We wanted to change the paradigm by treating image generation like a modern, programmatic printing press built explicitly for developers and the AI era.
