Glad you enjoyed the technical postmortem!

I agree with what you said, but I think it's reductive for a few reasons:

- It was (and still is) amazing to me that GPT Image 2.0 was this good at making a coherent manga page in one shot.

- This project was focused mainly on the animation pipeline, not the manga page content.

- As with all things AI, it is up to the user's creative direction to make the output good. I did not give much creative direction at all to the example manga page, thus the AI catchphrases. With some guidance, this seems to be a very promising way to get your manga ideas onto "paper" quickly if you desire.

Very actively developing this project, so hopefully it'll become a suitable replacement relatively soon. Please open GitHub issues or PRs if you have specific requests, happy to help.

Haha glad it brought back fond memories! Grob is just the nickname of my username GroverBurger. Fun coincidence.

Yep, magic wand already exists with contiguous/global toggle and tolerance slider. : )

It still amazes me that so many people can see LLMs writing code as anything less than a miracle in computing...

This is so cool to see. Saw tons of Waymo in LA/Santa Monica area when I was there in October. Very excited to see them expand basically all through SoCal!

Thanks! I appreciate the kind words.

I didn't get around to that because my monitor is not amazingly wide (mainly using a laptop :P). Thanks for the feedback though, I may add that in the future.

Show HN: Dead-Simple HTML5 Markdown Editor/Viewer

__grob — Tue, 28 Oct 2025 09:15:11 +0000

Made a super simple vanilla JS/HTML5 markdown editor/viewer recently, just wanted the basics and especially to be able to hit CTRL-P and print the resulting HTML nicely or save to a PDF.

This supports MathJax, and automatically saves to local storage so you can use it as a notes app or quickly pick up where you left off. Hope you also find it useful!

This is a fantastic release, been looking forward to --trim since the 2024 JuliaCon presentation. All of the other features look like fantastic QoL additions too - especially redefinition of structs and the introduction of apps.

Congrats Julia team!
