My friend's son thought he was Peter Pan, so I built him an app
My buddy's kid, Francisco, is obsessed with Peter Pan. It's adorable, but it got me thinking... what if Francisco could actually see himself in Neverland? This gave me the idea to build an app that could take any child's photo and drop them right into their favorite storybook. After a year and the magic of Stable Diffusion (thanks, ComfyUI!), MyStorybook was born. Here's how it works: 1. Choose a story: We have a library of engaging children's stories, including classics like Peter Pan. 2. Upload a photo: I uploaded a photo of Francisco, and our AI seamlessly integrated him into the story's…
What it does
In the maker’s words, at launch
My buddy's kid, Francisco, is obsessed with Peter Pan. It's adorable, but it got me thinking... what if Francisco could actually see himself in Neverland? This gave me the idea to build an app that could take any child's photo and drop them right into their favorite storybook. After a year and the magic of Stable Diffusion (thanks, ComfyUI!), MyStorybook was born. Here's how it works: 1. Choose a story: We have a library of engaging children's stories, including classics like Peter Pan. 2. Upload a photo: I uploaded a photo of Francisco, and our AI seamlessly integrated him into the story's illustrations. 3. Record your voice: ElevenLabs' voice cloning is insanely good - it makes the whole experience incredibly personal by using your own voice for the narration. Francisco's reaction? Priceless. Seeing his face light up as he flew alongside a very familiar-looking Peter Pan... well, let's just say there might have been some real-life pixie dust in the air that day. Right now, MyStorybook is live on the App Store and Google Play. There are a few stories to try, and we're adding more all the time. Since we're avid Hacker News users, we created a promo code just for the community! The next 20 people who use the code HN at checkout can personalize a story for free.

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…
