Turn family photos into illustrated kids' stories

Hacker News

My friend and I made an app ( https://trystorytime.com/ ) that lets families generate AI-based avatars from their photos and use them as characters in illustrated children’s stories. It’s something I wanted to try with my son. Parents can order hard cover editions of your favorite stories and we’ll print and ship them. It’s still a work-in-progress MVP, but we’d love to hear what you think! We’re considering focusing more on releasing the software we used to create the initial demo stories (screenshot here https://trystorytime.com/img/book-builder.jpg ), rather than producing more content.
