24 alternatives to I made an Animal Crossing style letter editor
I made a simple open-source letter editor inspired by Animal Crossing NH. Took me forever to look over each card, but I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. You can even click the bottle in the bottom right to see a random letter design shared by other users! Now to see how long it stays up... Check out the source code here: https://github.com/IdreesInc/Animal-Crossing-Letter-Generato...

Hi HN, I’ve been working on a small project that transforms handwritten notes into animated, shareable cards. While the create functionality isn’t live yet, I wanted to share a sneak peek by creating a handwritten Christmas card specifically for the HN community. I started thinking about this after seeing too many AI-generated cards, cookie-cutter email templates, and overly polished designs that lack any personal touch. A friend recently sent me a handwritten card in the mail, and I found it nice that he took his time to write a handwritten note. I wanted to capture that same feeling…

Brat Generator▲122I have always been curious about how the fancy text styles on social media work. After researching Unicode characters, I started developing my own tool to convert simple text into fancy styles. Although I have created other similar tools, I believe this one is my best work. Similar tools exist, but they’re usually packed with annoying ads and pop-ups, have clunky interfaces, offer limited styles, and don’t make it clear that these fonts are for casual use, and not for situations where accessibility is a concern. I’ve tried to fix all these issues, and I’d love to hear your feedback!

Letters▲71I made a new daily word game for web and iOS which is a funky mix of scrabble and boggle. Each day everyone gets the same randomly generated configuration of bonus tiles and letters on a grid. The app is written completely in SwiftUI and the web port is written in ts/react. Both use the same random seeds each day.

Illustria▲46Hi HN I built Illustria – a simple tool to generate custom illustrations on demand Why I built it: - I was frustrated spending hours browsing stock sites for the right visuals. - Free illustrations often didn’t match the style I needed. - I wanted a faster way to get usable illustrations for landing pages, pitch decks, and side projects. What it does today: - Generate illustrations instantly based on your input (first generation is free). - Explore different looks/styles without needing design skills. - Download and use them right away. - Browse a free gallery of ready-made…

Hey HN, I recently made 3d style Bagel web font (with some more styles) from scratch, and wanted to share the process in case anyone's interested in experimenting or giving feedback. You can play around by typing https://www.bake-ai.com/fonts [Backstory] I was experimenting with Stable Diffusion + ControlNet to generate icons. To my surprise, generating letters this way was actually better than using traditional 3D tools like Blender for this purpose. That led to the idea: what if I could turn into an actual real working font? I found a few tools, but most were either paid or…

MewtruCard▲11After being laid off last year, I started exploring AI-powered greeting cards. My first attempt was a simple Birthday AI Chrome extension that just generated text messages - it wasn't engaging enough and I shelved it. Then I discovered birthday.mewtru.com (credit where credit is due - this inspired both the name and concept). I realized that static messages weren't enough - what if we could create dynamic, animated SVG cards powered by LLMs? Tech Stack: - Next.js App Router + TypeScript - LLM for card generation - SVG animations - Server-side rendering for performance The cards are…

I had a lot of fun with this one. She's used it several times, and I watch, to see what subtle bugs or ux issues there may be. And when she gets on the bus I fix them quickly before work. It's been a fun game to create where it gives here immediate feedback and she's willing to study more. Her test is this Friday. fingers crossed that it helped her!

Hey HN, I built a tool that takes a photo or scan of your handwritten text and converts it into a stroke-by-stroke animation. The goal is to preserve the personal feel of handwriting while making it easy to share digitally. Here’s a short demo note if you want to see it in action: https://www.handwritten-cards.de/cards/ff8d6fe46e62fe48773f3... I’d love any feedback on whether you find this useful, potential features you’d like to see, or ways to improve the interface. It’s free to try, and I’m open to all suggestions. Thanks for checking it out!

Wordfall▲13I've been working on this for a while as an experiment and I'm now pretty happy with it. I've always written code, but I've always been a frankly incompetent frontend developer, and I've never really been able to talk myself into making a game; it was just too much trouble, even though I had ideas I wanted to try! Claude Code made it possible for the first time. I hope you like it. I'm still working on it!
