Show HN: MyLineArts – Turn Photos into Bobbie Goods-Style Line Art for Paintinghttps://mylinearts.comHey HN, I built MyLineArts (mylinearts.com) for anyone who wants to paint their own art but needs a clean, inspiring starting point. It’s a simple web app that takes any photo you upload—your kid’s drawing, a family portrait, a cool landscape—and transforms it into a minimalist, Bobbie Goods-style line art outline, ready for you to paint or color by hand.I love the flowing, single-line vibe of Bobbie Goods but found it tricky to create those outlines without pro-level art skills. MyLineArts does the work for you: upload a photo, adjust line style or detail if you like, and download a crisp PNG outline in seconds. It’s about giving you a canvas to make something uniquely yours with paints, markers, or crayons.You can:Turn your child’s sketch into a paintable masterpieceConvert a favorite photo into a fun coloring projectDownload a PNG ready to print and paintI’ve been tweaking this for months and finally got it ready to share. Try it at mylinearts.com and let me know what you think! CurJun 21, 2025 1:03 PM

Spent weeks building, not marketinghttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44013060Hey HN,We’ve spent the last few weeks pretty much glued to the computer, obsessing over product and ignoring everything else — including marketing. I just really wanted this to work.The project is ecomdesignlab.ai, an AI-powered fashion shoot generator. You upload clothing items, and it generates realistic model shots for ecommerce — no photo shoots needed.Until recently, our onboarding was way too limited. You could upload a fashion piece, but you had zero control over how it appeared — no way to pick the model’s pose, no background options. It worked, but it didn’t feel right, especially not for fashion founders who care a lot about brand and visual control.So I stayed off Twitter, off LinkedIn, off everything, and just built.Here’s what’s finally live:You can now choose poses and backgrounds before generating. This alone made the whole tool way more usable.Image generation time is now ~3 minutes, down from ~11 (which is still common in other tools).A cleaner, guided onboarding flow May 17, 2025 9:10 AM

Show HN: Largest Open Source MCP Repo (280)https://www.activepieces.com/mcpAsh here, founder of Activepieces (open source automation). 2 years ago, we launched Activepieces as the open source Zapier (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34723989). Ever since, we grew total integrations (pieces) to 280 of which 60% were built by our community!Now with the growing popularity of MCP, we built tools around these to turn them into MCP servers. So now every open source integration on Activepieces is an MCP, and we like to think it’s the largest open source MCP repo so far (MIT licensed).With these tools, you can:- Self host the MCP server or use our cloud for free.- Connect any of the 280 tools in your MCP server.- Provide the server to an MCP client (like Claude Desktop, Cursor or Windsurf).- Ask the LLM to take actions!For example, you can ask the LLM to:- Add meetings to your calendar.- Check your tasks on Jira.- Post a tweet for you.In the next few weeks, we’ll make the automation flows available as MCPs too. and we will make MCPs usable by LLMs inside our flowApr 2, 2025 2:11 PM

Ask HN: Mobile games that can be beathttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42793607I recently downloaded and played an idle game that was taking up an inordinate amount of my time. What was originally a way to just kill some time here and there quickly spiraled into a major distraction to my work and relationships. I've deleted it off of my phone, but now I'm thinking about what makes these games so addicting, and one quality I thought up was that there's never really an "end" to these games. There's always a new objective, always some special event, always some challenge that wasn't there before.When I think about the games I considered truly great (most of them from the N64 era), all of these games had something in common, mainly out of necessity: they had an end. Peach was found, Hyrule was freed, or all of the skaters and parks were unlocked.I realize that this is antithetical to the objective of most mobile games. The objective there is to get you to watch ads and pay to win. It's more of a Skinner box than a piece of art.Are there any good examples of "beatableJan 22, 2025 3:08 PM
