Hey HN,
Last weekend, I got bored and decided to build something fun: https://text2s.vg – a simple tool that lets you type a prompt and generate a free vector SVG image.
Why I built this:
I wanted to explore combining text-to-image generation with lightweight vector outputs, all while keeping it fast and accessible. It's a good way to progress at creating a project from A to Z, from backend workflows to frontend design. Plus, I thought it might be useful for developers, designers, or anyone working on creative projects.
How it works:
Type a prompt, hit "Generate SVG," and you instantly get an SVG file ready to use.
It’s completely free, no ads, no signup – just something I made for fun.
The tech stack:
Backend: A custom ComfyUI workflow (using Flux, BiRefNet, and a custom node ComfyUI-ToSVG,) all running serverlessly on Runpod.
Frontend: React with Tailwind CSS (no Next.js, no need for SSR).
Database/Hosting: Firebase handles Firestore, storage, and hosting.
What’s next:
I’m looking for feedback to improve it or explore new features. Maybe adding style controls or export options?
Would love to hear your thoughts, questions, or ideas!
