Fun sketch – Bring your sketches to life
Hello HN, I created a simple website which lets children (of all ages) sketch something and then animate it using AI. It's a small hobby project because I wanted to see what all the hype is about. No account required (but because the sketch app allows image uploads and we all know we can't have nice things on the Internet, I will be moderating the submissions before showing them on the front page). Stack: Excalidraw, Django, Postgres, Redis for caching, ComfyUI for the image to video workflow (Wan 2.2 14B I2V). Let me know what you think. Merry Christmas!

In plain words
Fun Sketch is a website that allows users to draw simple sketches and transforms them into animated videos using AI. The tool requires no account to use and is designed for people of all ages. Submissions are moderated before appearing on the front page. The project uses Excalidraw for sketching, Django and Postgres for the backend, and ComfyUI with Wan 2.2 14B for converting images to video animations.

Convert sketches into images using ControlNet2023 · clio.so · ▲76Hi HN! We're working on an AI studio product, and have been experimenting with the recently-released ControlNet (https://github.com/lllyasviel/ControlNet) After wasting hours with it, we decided to put together a quick fun project. "Sketch" allows you to draw anything (works w/ touch inputs on mobile too), enter a prompt (it can be as simple as "drawing" and it'll try to guess) and you get something out fast. Keeping it all on a public feed as well, to serve as inspiration. Hope anyone here finds it fun :-)
I made a web app to bring children's drawings to life2024 · doodledreams.cc · ▲242Hey HN! I used to spend hours drawing all kind of things as a kid. Sadly though, those drawings are long gone. Inspired by this, I created DoodleDreams. A webapp that brings drawings to life using AI and stores them as memories. You can always look back at the drawings, see who made them, and even know the age they were drawn at. I thought it was a fun way to preserve those memories. What do you think? Viktor

Community, All the HN belong to you. This is an archive of hacker news that fits in your browser. When I made HN Made of Primes I realized I could probably do this offline sqlite/wasm thing with the whole GBs of archive. The whole dataset. So I tried it, and this is it. Have Hacker News on your device. Go to this repo (https://github.com/DOSAYGO-STUDIO/HackerBook): you can download it. Big Query -> ETL -> npx serve docs - that's it. 20 years of HN arguments and beauty, can be yours forever. So they'll never die. Ever. It's the unkillable static archive of HN and it's…
