Products that do what I Made Bagel Font does
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…

During the hype of llama.ttf months ago, I was speculating the potential of WASM shaper for even crazier purpose, one that fitter to a font shaper's duty -- to synthesize font at runtime. This project as proof-of-concept implements a synthesizer that generates and rasterizes handwriting-style font, backed by a super-lightweight RNN model (~14MiB).

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...

Hey hn, this has been something I've been working on for the last few months and is finally robust enough to really show off. I've been pretty tired with the design outputs of LLMs for a while, and I've always thought diffusion offered much more creative / on brand design outputs, even before they were able to render text. I had enough conviction for this to leave my role over at Figma to build Diffui. The goal is to allow for you to design your full web app as quickly as possible, in a figma-like interface, and then hand that off to an agent to build. The page shows some interactive…

I've been building prototypes of new AI learning tools for months, but I recently learned that 3blue1brown open sourced his incredible math animation library, Manim, and that LLMs could generate code for it without any fine-tuning. So I made a tool that automatically generates animated math/science explanations in the style of 3blue1brown using Manim from any text prompt. Try it yourself at https://TMA.live (no signup required) or see the demo video here: https://x.com/i/status/1874948287759081608 The UX is pretty simple right now, you just write a…

process demo - https://i.redd.it/fbhlwsq1gcmg1.gif render demo - https://i.redd.it/smddwtryhcmg1.gif I love making creative software. I spent a few years making pixel art software but recently have gotten into 3d animation and 2d animation and really wanted a way to realize crazy ideas. Blockbench didn't feel quite right, spline is super well made but felt catered too much to just idle website animations, and I really didn't want to fall down a master class in Blender just to make some silly stuff. While I'm definitely not discounting Blender's literal…

Hey there Some time ago I built a site that generates AI pictures in a style of GitHub logo (https://octoart.vercel.app/). It's completely free, and even official GitHub accounts in Twitter and Instagram (yes turns out they have Instagram) posted about it. It was fun. So I thought it would be cool to build an app that works with any logo, so people can generate nice branded pictures with their logo. I went on to build https://logopictureai.com/. It's build with Next.js, Replicate API and Supabase. It's a very early version, I built it in a weekend. It works like…

Hey HN, I'm a beginner at CAD so I built an app that does it for me ;) Describe a part and ChatToSTL writes the OpenSCAD code, shows a live render with size sliders, then exports the STL/3MF file. Because the output is parametric, it's easy to modify (unlike mesh models like Shap-E or DreamFusion). Try it (needs your own OpenAI key): https://huggingface.co/spaces/flowfulai/ChatToSTL How it works: Text prompt → o4-mini generates OpenSCAD code → live render + sliders → refine in chat → export. Examples & Code: * Walkthrough + real prints (bowl, hook, box, door…
