The app allows users to:

- **Upload or Capture Photos**: Drag & drop or take a photo directly.
- **Customize**: Add a caption and pick a background color.
- **Generate**: Transform the photo into a polaroid-style image using Orshot.
- **Download**: Save individual polaroids or download all as a ZIP.

Instant Polaroid


![Orshot Screenshot](/images/work/show/orshot-preview.png)

Orshot helps automating generation of marketing assets
like banners, ads, mockups etc.

You can generate Images and PDFs on Orshot using pre-designed
templates, and also design your own templates using Orshot Studio.
And then you can dynamically generate assets from these templates

My goal with Orshot is to help everyone
design anything once and automate it easily
with API, SDKs and integrations


Orshot


![Pika Screenshot](/images/work/show/pika-preview.png)

Created Pika to quickly generate shareable screenshots
from boring screenshots. Previous workflow included
involvement of Figma in which I had to open the app
and then figure out the background gradient and shadows etc.

Here's how it works:

- You just paste your screenshot
- Customize the screenshot, add background, shadow etc.
- Copy the output image, or save it as PNG on your machine

Pika saves your previous settings so when you load it again,
it'll retain your last settings.

Pika is semi open-source and
the [code is available at Github](http://github.com/rishimohan/pika).


Pika


![Maazi Screenshot](/images/work/show/maazi-app.png)

Maazi is a personal diary app, which I wrote to practically learn React native, enough that I can create standard app and good enough to be pushed in App stores. The app lets your write diary entries or record as voice entries and store in cloud. Your account data is secure and can only be accessed by you.

## Features

- Write your entries in a beautiful space
- Or record it to listen to later
- Search through past entries
- Beautiful dark mode
- Free cloud and syncing
- Available for Android, iOS


Maazi


![Qurb Screenshot](/images/work/show/qurb-post.png)

Qurb lets you generate mockup for iPhone X/XS/Max, iPad, MacBook and other devices quickly. Just select the device, add your screenshot and save the mockup. All the devices are designed in CSS, thanks to [Oleg](https://marvelapp.github.io/devices.css/). Also when you add your screenshot, it's not uploaded anywhere.


Qurb
