Story to Manga – Paste a story, get a manga
I’ve been hacking on a fun side project: Story to Manga The idea is simple: Paste a short story. Choose a style (manga or comic). Get back panels with consistent characters, settings, and mood. It analyzes your text, builds character references, storyboards the panels (dialogue, camera angle, mood), and then generates full manga pages. The hard part—and what makes it actually usable—is keeping characters consistent across panels. We’ve used it to turn micro-stories, hackathon recaps, and silly inside jokes into legit manga chapters. It’s still early, but fun enough that we thought HN might…

In the maker’s words, at launch

Just go to the link and click on "Start Creating". No signing in required. I built shortbread to help anyone to create comics / manga series. The onboarding process helps you kick start a page from 60%, then you can use your creativity to bring it to 1000% in a fully-controllable editor. Tech stack: GPT 3.5 Turbo - the comic script generation. It handled everything from layout, character, scene, SD prompts, to dialogue. SD 1.5 - We put up SD servers on GCP. For every comic we generate one large image and crop it into panels. Per the experiments of u/Deathmarkedadc on Reddit, this…
- IMI made an app that turns your life memories into Manga2025 · ▲6
I enjoy reading manga and journaling. Recently, I started wondering what would happen if I combined the two... I wanted a different way to document moments that happen in my life in a format that’s almost just as personal as writing, but also easy to share with friends. That’s how the idea to turn life memories into manga came about. With MangaMe, you can take moments from your life, anything from funny stories to the most mundane everyday activities, and turn them into a manga page for you to keep or share. The hardest part has been getting the AI to keep characters looking the same across…
- HAHackYourNews – AI summaries of the top HN stories2023 · hackyournews.com · ▲335
Hey there HN! I wanted to share a pet project of mine. I built HackYourNews [1] to scratch a personal itch: Knowing which stories to focus on while browsing aimlessly (though there is a certain joy in that, as well!) HackYourNews uses OpenAI's gpt-3.5-turbo to summarize the destination article as well as the comments section. Summarization of the article is always cached, while summaries of the comments are regenerated if the comments count is >10% (or >10 comments) different. While I styled the homepage to welcome HNers, my preferred view is the Mobile view, accessed from the navbar. This…

I made a built-from scratch Wayland Compositor to display any GUI app* in the terminal! I think there is a lot of unexplored potential in custom Wayland compositors, a lot of really cool things you can embed existing applications into! So, I started with embedding apps into the terminal because that is the easiest input/output (output is just utf-8 and I use the great `chafa` library for that, and I just read from stdin for the input). If you have any other ideas for cool Wayland compositors, let me know. I purposedly wrote 80% the app in Typescript to appeal to the most developers and…

Years ago I stumbled across a basic version of this concept and it stuck with me. I knew if I was ever going to take on such a project, it would need to be flawless, but without coding experience it was just another idea that would never happen. By the end of 2024, as AI coding tools exploded everywhere, I finally had a way to make it real. I started from zero knowledge and spent months collaborating with AI agents as a learning experience. Every pixel and every function went through me. The AI translated what I asked for into code, but every decision was human. I didn't use existing OS…
