My mom wanted to “just make herself smile in a photo” without learning Photoshop. So I built a conversational AI photo editor — no sliders, no layers, just plain language. You type something like “change my hair to red” or “remove the background,” and it works instantly. No account needed, no learning curve. Would love feedback from folks here!

Hi HN,

I created a fan website for the Roblox game Grow a Garden. It includes a trading section, item calculator, and detailed database of all items. I'm currently working on adding a blog with guides and updates.

The goal is to make it easier for players to trade and plan their inventory.

Would really appreciate any feedback on the design, usefulness, or anything else you think could be improved. Thanks!

Hey HN,

I recently launched a side project called AI Action Figure Maker TurnToy. It lets people upload a photo and generate their own custom action figure using generative AI.

The idea came from a conversation with a friend who collects designer toys. I wanted to see if I could create a mobile app that makes the process fun, fast, and accessible—even for people without design skills.

Some things I learned building this:

People love seeing themselves as superheroes or cartoon-style figures.

The biggest UX challenge was packaging customization.

Prompt engineering played a key role in style consistency on the chatgpt API.

I'm curious: what other use cases do you see for AI in toy/gaming creation? Happy to answer questions and get feedback from the community.

Thanks!
