I used OpenAI's new image API for a personalized coloring book service
I've had an idea for a long time to generate a cute coloring book based on family photos, send it to a printing service, and then deliver it to people. Last month, when OpenAI's Sora was released for public use I (foolishly) thought I'd manually drag-and-drop each order’s photos into Sora's UI and copy the resulting images back into my system. This took way too much time (about an hour for each of the few books I made and tested with family and friends). It clearly wasn't possible to release this version because I’d be losing a huge amount of time on every order. So instead, I decided I'd…
I used OpenAI's new image API for a personalized coloring book service launched on April 25, 2025 with 316 votes, #83 of 7,818 launches that month and more than 99% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.
In plain words
Clever Coloring Book generates personalized coloring books from family photos using OpenAI's image API, then arranges printing and delivery. Users upload photos, the system converts them into coloring book illustrations, and the finished books are printed and shipped. The service targets families looking for custom, keepsake coloring books featuring their own images.

Hi everyone, I built PyXL — a hardware processor that executes a custom assembly generated from Python programs, without using a traditional interpreter or virtual machine. It compiles Python -> CPython Bytecode -> Instruction set designed for direct hardware execution. I’m sharing an early benchmark: a GPIO test where PyXL achieves a 480ns round-trip toggle — compared to 14-25 micro seconds on a MicroPython Pyboard - even though PyXL runs at a lower clock (100MHz vs. 168MHz). The design is stack-based, fully pipelined, and preserves Python's dynamic typing without static type restrictions.…
