Magic Traces

Generate coloring book style images that you can trace from the screen with pen and paper. You can generate images from a photo or voice description. You can use it from the browser or install it as a PWA. It even has local history which is synced across devices.

When my daughter, after visiting a museum with her kindergarten, told me that there was a display, and you can pick the image, place a sheet of paper above and trace the image. It was surprisingly fun for 6-year-olds. I thought, but what if she can pick any image she wants with a voice command? Or better transform a photo into a drawing? So we vibecoded the whole shit with my wife. Sure, it didn’t work properly, and I had to fix the backend manually, but it was a fun bonding experience. And I’m proud of it at this point, it’s a nice small feature complete product.
