Nice! I've been playing around with different interfaces for OAI image gen (supports flux and gemini too): https://www.hitslop.com/

Its hard for me to get past the name. It's like naming a ceramics manufacturer "punch brittle".

LOL. 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

Love the idea of local keys and appreciate your video explaining it! What do you use to record that style of video?

I tried a bunch. The popular one is Screen Studio, but its a crazy subscription price. I made this with Focusee (https://focusee.imobie.com), which from what I can tell has all the features but a one time price!

very cool but also i'm struggling with how this relates to the core Phind business? seems a bit out of left field. (also hi hope you're doing well)

hey swyx! hope you’re doing well too. we are exploring some other avenues to the core Phind business and this is one of them. i’m excited by the rate of improvement of the underlying models in this space and it reminds me of the early days of the AI search space when we started working in it in 2021.

I have a standardized test I use for testing AI image editors, which I ran on Phind.design as well: I have a close-up picture a keyring which has a small hand-drawn painting of my puppy Freija. So my hand is visible in the image, as I'm holding the keyring. I ask the LLM to extract the puppy from the keyring, enlarge it so it fills the entire image and saturate the colours so that the hand-drawn painitng is the only thing which remains. I'm not interested in the picture of my hand holding a keyring, but the hand-drawn painting of the puppy.

This is somewhat trivial to do in Photoshop/Gimp. Hell, I'm sure most of you can visualize this transformation in your minds even. But it seems to be almost impossible for any AI image editor, Phind.design included.

What I got when I tried this using Phind was the very opposite of what I asked: it kept my hand holding the keyring, the keyring itself, but it replaced the puppy. Perhaps this is user error: should I not select the area I'd like to edit? Regardless, there were no attempts to coach me into using the tool correctly, even though the instructions might have been counter-intuitive, which I'd expect is half the point in using an AI tool.

So, well.. Maybe designers are safe for another day.

One super-easy use case is product size comparison. Example: "hand holding lilygo t3 pro" shows me how big a circuit board and screen is. Product images are everywhere, but it's hard to get a strong idea of how big it really is without a hand or something else in the frame.

First try worked like a charm. Super useful! Thanks.
