I made a simple screenshot tool "WindPix" for Windsurf using... Windsurf!

Hey everyone! 👋

I'm completely new to github releases, swift development or anything that is more than just funny little playarounds. I really have been amazed by how much I've learned using Windsurf. Not with coding but about the overall process from idea to a github release. With its help, I managed to create WindPix - a tiny macOS utility that makes sharing screenshots in Windsurf conversations super easy.

The idea came from constantly taking screenshots during my chats. I thought "wouldn't it be cool if I could just press ⌘P and have the screenshot go straight into Windsurf?" So I asked Windsurf about it, and step by step, it helped me build exactly that!

Features (all suggested and helped by Windsurf):
- Press ⌘P to take a screenshot from anywhere
- Select an area or capture full screen
- It automatically opens Windsurf if needed
- Screenshots go right into your chat

I'm sharing this because Windsurf helped me go from "I wish this existed" to "I actually built this!" in one day. Even with my basic coding knowledge, Windsurf guided me through everything from Swift basics to macOS permissions.

The code is on GitHub if anyone wants to try it or help make it better: https://github.com/bartwisch/windpix

Huge thanks to this amazing community and especially to Windsurf for making coding so much more approachable! Let me know if you find it useful or have any ideas for improvements! 🙏

(PS: This is my first real coding project with a release on github. I have many private repos where i tried out different AI tools to assist me (cline, different local LLMs etc.) but it was always just something never would ever use, but maybe Windpix is actually useful for someone, at least i am using it for myself).

btw: i cannot imagine how it was to be a coder without this tools on a daily grind. so many steps and things to consider - chapeau to you people!)

and yes i burned nearly all my tokens for this project - but if any of you actually uses it it was worth it for me (10 euros).

appreciate any feedback 😅
