Show HN: Phind.design - Image editor & design tool powered by 4o /
custom models
Hi HN, Today we're launching phind.design (https://phind.design),
an image editor and design tool that uses 4o and custom models to
allow users to generate and edit designs for anything from logos
and advertisements to creative website and app designs. 4o is
great at producing a first version of an image, but is not capable
of editing it without messing up other parts of it. We fix this by
running Flux Kontext alongside 4o image gen in the chat, as well as
by introducing a precision editor powered by custom models where a
user indicates an area to modify and we guarantee that only that
area will be modified. Our precision editor is state-of-the-art on
image editing in our tests and allows inserting new additional
images into the existing image. The latter allows users to insert a
logo, product, or face into an image without messing up other parts
of the image, and even fix logos and faces that were messed up by
4o. Text editing with the precision edit model is still a work in
progress, and we will fix it with the next iteration of that model.
We recommend using the chat for editing text for now. Example:
Insert UT Austin logo into helicopter ad
(https://phind.design/edit?chat=cmd27o2n10001l704h6865f3u) We also
always produce multiple variations for image generations and edits,
as we think this variety is important for getting exactly what you
asked for. Example: Paul Graham in startup heaven
(https://phind.design/edit?chat=cmd23h91c000jky04no5d92uy) One
thing we're excited about is adding more variation into AI-
generated websites, as many website builders all use the same CSS
libraries, so many websites end up looking the same. We hope to
allow builders and creatives to make truly unique designs in 1/10th
the time it currently takes with existing tools. Example: Make me
a popeyes landing page where the eyes are actually popping out
(https://phind.design/edit?chat=cmd25imtm0001jr046nsag4lu) Example:
A train map with sandwich ingredients replacing subway stops.
(https://phind.design/edit?chat=cmd23i98c0001ie04l56npyj3) As
engineers who have been frustrated by the time commitment it takes
to learn Figma or Photoshop, we hope that phind.design makes it
incredibly easy to go from zero to one on your wildest creative
ideas. The editor is far from perfect, particularly when it comes
to text. We are working on it and have a new custom precision
editing model on the way. In the meantime, we're excited to hear
your comments and feedback!

| No way to retry or resubmit or edit anything to get things moving
| again. Too terminal.
|
| If I just type "try again" (lacking a retry mechanism), having it
| say "Here is the current image I'm working with" seems unexpected
| (my follow-up request was going to be for 4 entirely new
| variations with more specific aspects)
|
| If I go back to the home page and attempt to begin what I
| imagined is a new chat, it appends this new message onto the
| previous chat's history. Not sure if that's a visual / caching
| bug, but it's also jarring

| Thanks, this is good feedback! I'll take a look.
