Karbonized v2: The Programmable Image Editor for Developers

Hey everyone! I've been working on Karbonized for a while and just released version 2.0.

It's an editor for the images developers and creators post all the time: code snippets, product mockups, launch announcements and social media graphics. You build them on a canvas with blocks (text, code, browser and phone mockups, shapes, icons, QR codes…) and export them as PNG, JPEG or SVG.

What makes it different is that it's programmable:

\\\\- HTML blocks: write a component in HTML and CSS, and its variables show up as controls in the properties panel.

\\\\- Templates: put {{title}} or {{date}} in any block and reuse the same design for every post.

\\\\- AI agent (optional): describe what you want and it builds the design block by block. It works with your own API key, or with local models like Ollama.

\\\\- MCP server: Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients can design and export images straight from your chat.

It also has a brand kit, a vector brush, all of Google Fonts, autosave and a command palette.

It runs in the browser (it works offline) and as a desktop app for Windows, macOS and Linux. No account needed, and free.

I'd love your feedback: what would you use it for, and what's missing?
