Show HN: Phind.design – Image editor & design tool powered by 4o / custom models
Hi HN,
Today we’re launching phind.design (https://phind.design https://phind.design), an image editor and design tool that uses 4o and custom models to allow users to generate and edit designs for anything from logos and advertisements to creative website and app designs.
4o is great at producing a first version of an image, but is not capable of editing it without messing up other parts of it. We fix this by running Flux Kontext alongside 4o image gen in the chat, as well as by introducing a precision editor powered by custom models where a user indicates an area to modify and we guarantee that only that area will be modified.
Our precision editor is state-of-the-art on image editing in our tests and allows inserting new additional images into the existing image. The latter allows users to insert a logo, product, or face into an image without messing up other parts of the image, and even fix logos and faces that were messed up by 4o. Text editing with the precision edit model is still a work in progress, and we will fix it with the next iteration of that model. We recommend using the chat for editing text for now.
Example: Insert UT Austin logo into helicopter ad (https://phind.design/edit?chat=cmd27o2n10001l704h6865f3u https://phind.design/edit?chat=cmd27o2n10001l704h6865f3u)
We also always produce multiple variations for image generations and edits, as we think this variety is important for getting exactly what you asked for.
Example: Paul Graham in startup heaven (https://phind.design/edit?chat=cmd23h91c000jky04no5d92uy https://phind.design/edit?chat=cmd23h91c000jky04no5d92uy)
One thing we’re excited about is adding more variation into AI-generated websites, as many website builders all use the same CSS libraries, so many websites end up looking the same.
We hope to allow builders and creatives to make truly unique designs in 1/10th the time it currently takes with existing tools.
Example: Make me a popeyes landing page where the eyes are actually popping out (https://phind.design/edit?chat=cmd25imtm0001jr046nsag4lu https://phind.design/edit?chat=cmd25imtm0001jr046nsag4lu)
Example: A train map with sandwich ingredients replacing subway stops. (https://phind.design/edit?chat=cmd23i98c0001ie04l56npyj3 https://phind.design/edit?chat=cmd23i98c0001ie04l56npyj3)
As engineers who have been frustrated by the time commitment it takes to learn Figma or Photoshop, we hope that phind.design makes it incredibly easy to go from zero to one on your wildest creative ideas.
The editor is far from perfect, particularly when it comes to text. We are working on it and have a new custom precision editing model on the way. In the meantime, we’re excited to hear your comments and feedback!
- captaindiego 1y agoCan anyone comment if Phind is working again? I was on a pro plan and ended up switching to perplexity because it was unusable for over a week.
- jaeh 1y agojust send the query multiple times by clicking the question text then pressing enter to resend, usually third time's the charm for me. has been like this for a few weeks, the queries sometimes just error.
- rushingcreek 1y agoFounder here. Sorry to hear that. Let me know if you are still getting errors.
- Jonovono 1y agoNice! I've been playing around with different interfaces for OAI image gen (supports flux and gemini too): https://www.hitslop.com/ https://www.hitslop.com/
- ilaksh 1y agoIts hard for me to get past the name. It's like naming a ceramics manufacturer "punch brittle".
- Jonovono 1y agoLOL. Long story. But it's actually a word used in react native development. Back in the olden days before ChatGPT I was trying to figure out how to make a button "easier" to press. After digging around for a bit, came across this and I thought the name was so funny. I ended up buying the domain. Had no use for it. Decided to use it for this project as it kinda fit. Press on screen and [ai] slop comes out ;p https://reactnative.dev/docs/touchablewithoutfeedback#hitslop https://reactnative.dev/docs/touchablewithoutfeedback#hitslo...
