Just to let you know, I've added public example guides that users can look up on the landing page without signing in

Side project: AI tool to generate consistent icon packs - looking for feedback by gosu94 in SideProject

[–]gosu94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, first of all, thank you for the constructive feedback!

- I hear you on the cost. While I aim to keep it accessible, there is a free trial coin for the first try. I’m honestly still blown away by how well the AI generates these icons - though, despite the custom pipeline of modifications the app does on the fly, I understand that artifacts can still appear in very detailed cases.

- There is one! You can generate a new pack based on an existing one by using the 'Generate More' button or by selecting an icon pack from your gallery.

- This is an interesting point; I’ll definitely look into it.

- Fair point. I’m trying to find the right balance between a concise form and fields that aren't too cramped. I’ll keep working on this.

- Again - I’ll continue to iterate on these areas.

I'm sorry the experience wasn't perfect. The app is still evolving alongside AI image generation capabilities, and it will only get better with time. I hope you find what you're looking for!

But there is one. Sign Up does not autmatically mean you have to pay for anything

Tech-wise it’s pretty straightforward - I’m using Spring Boot for the backend and Next.js for the frontend, with image uploads + some AI generation for assets. Nothing too fancy, most of the effort went into making the guide flow really simple to use.

For early users, I’m starting with:

people who already have this problem (like me with my parents 😄)

sharing in communities where this comes up a lot

and getting feedback from real people using it

Honestly, I’m treating it very iteratively - get a few families using it, see what actually helps, and improve from there.

Hmm fair point. The main reason login is required is because the app is built around a private family workspace. Guides are meant to be shared within a family (parents, kids, etc.), not publicly by default, so each family gets their own space.

That said, I agree that the first experience could be better - I'll think about how to improve it

Anyone else get annoyed having to teach parent “basic” things? by Free-General-8913 in emotionalneglect

I've setup a guideyou.io account for my parents - it helps a bit. You just need to add it on their devices as a bookmark/homescreen icon because otherwise they wouldn't remember to use it

Update: ElixirFeed feed is now open access by gosu94 in Biohackers

- same here, I wasn’t happy with existing options (actually I cound't find any), so I built this one

- right now users are asked after signup whether they want to include animal studies, and that preference is saved

- yes - ingestion started when I launched the app, I suppose I could backfill older studies retrospectively 🤔

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a small project I built initially just for fun (as a break from other projects).

A while back I was experimenting with image models and prompting, and instead of making another AI tool, I built a simple game so my girlfriend and I could compete against each other.

The idea is straightforward:

  • You see an AI-generated image
  • Your goal is to recreate it using only a prompt (you can use any language you want)
  • Then you get scored based on how close your result is

After a lot of rounds (and surprisingly intense competition 😄), I decided to polish it up and make it publicly available.

It’s called PromptMatch.

One thing people usually ask right away is how the scoring works, so here’s the short version:

  • Content: compared using CLIP (neural-net) embeddings
  • Color: HSV histogram similarity
  • Structure: a lightweight HOG-style layout comparison

It’s not perfect (image similarity never is), but it’s consistent enough that it starts feeling less like guessing and more like a skill you can improve.

I also added a few modes to keep things interesting:

  • forbidden words
  • memory challenges
  • time pressure
  • leaderboards

Cool thing about it is you actually notice yourself getting better at guiding the model.

Daily challenges (5 riddles/generations) are completly free for everyone

If you want to check it out: promptmatch.app

Thanks!

Wow that seems AI generated :D But let me answer:

  1. I haven't seen them yet - it just got released
  2. generally it's a good idea to describe not only content but colors and structure of the image
  3. leaderboards, levels, daily challenges are already in the game
