Show HN: ColoringMagician – Generate custom coloring pages using AI
Hey HN!
I made ColoringMagician because I got frustrated trying to find specific coloring pages for my niece. She's a true painter, always complaining about how she'd draw it differently if it wasn't a very generic coloring page.
It's built using a custom model, with some tweaks to generate clean line art (turns out, making AI create consistently good coloring pages is trickier than I thought!). The most interesting part was figuring out how to convert complex images into something that's actually colorable.
Things I learnt along the way:
- Kids are brutally honest beta testers
- Making prompt templates is trial and error
- Gemini 2.0 Flash is amazing
- badmonster 2y agowow this is awesome!
- realityfactchex 2y agoThe Create Now button text seems misleading. It should say, "Create after making an account with your email address or signing in with Google". This is the second time *today* that some neat-seeming landing page tricked me with that. Sorry, I nope'd out. But, a true "Create now" experience could have been awesome. The preview images on the homepage look clean, and I really wondered what the machine might come up with. (Just not at the cost of a signup/signin.)
