Summary

I just created a Windows 10/11 application that takes square screen captures. I did zero coding myself but used Visual Studio Code, Cline, OpenRouter, and Claude.
 
I got the idea by watching a video on so-called Vibe programming by a YouTuber named Memory. I have zero Windows programming experience although I have recently been playing with simple video game development.
 

After creating the application I was able to use Cline to help me commit it to GitHub. You can find it at https://github.com/taosecurity/SquareSnap/. Note that if you download the .exe Windows will complain because it is unsigned. If you worry about back doors just look at the code yourself -- or have your own LLM read it!
 

This was just an experiment to see how these tools work. I decided to try creating a screen capture program that only takes captures in a square or 1:1 format because it's useful for social media, and especially YouTube posts.
 
I had not found anything prior to this. This is really amazing but I obviously cannot comment on code quality. I'm happy that it's working well enough to take the screen caps in this blog post.
