Hey, I'm 40 years old and this brought a smile to my face. Seamless to use and really well done. I'll share this with a few of my friends that have children - I'm sure their kids will be inspired to draw JUST to see their imagination come to life. Great work, my friend, keep spreading joy! <3

That's the plan! Glad to hear DoodleMate brought a smile to your face.

Super cool! Honestly, felt like a magic. Do you plan to create a mobile app? I would want to take a picture with phone and show the animation to my daughter. I can only imagine her reaction

Thank you! It’s a web app, but we designed it to be mobile first. You can absolutely visit the website, take a picture, and show the animation to your daughter all on your phone.

If you do give it a try, please let me know how it goes!
