Show HN: Totogram – Turn your photos into Studio Ghibli-style AI art

Mon, 04/21/2025 - 3:00am

Hey HN,

I recently built Totogram, an AI-powered web app that transforms ordinary photos into illustrations inspired by the visual style of Studio Ghibli films.

It started as a side project—I wanted a way to turn personal photos into something more magical and nostalgic, like a scene out of Spirited Away or My Neighbor Totoro. The result is a tool that applies a custom-trained AI model to give photos a soft, hand-drawn, Ghibli-inspired aesthetic.

Right now, it's in pre-launch with early access open (no login needed, just a waitlist). Key features:

-Authentic Ghibli-style transformations (custom model)

-Before/after viewer with slider

-High-res output for printing or gifting

-No subscriptions—one-time access

The goal is to offer a meaningful way to preserve memories with an emotional/artistic twist. Would love feedback on:

#The concept in general—too niche or just right?

#The user experience and clarity of the landing page

#Any ideas for other use cases (prints? social sharing? etc.)

Thanks for checking it out!

Ask HN: Why are many of this user's comments marked [dead]?

Mon, 04/21/2025 - 2:59am

Randomly noticed this user [0] made a (fairly reasonable) comment [1] on a thread, and in less than 1 minute it was marked [dead]. I noticed a lot of their other comments suffered a similar fate.

Just wondering if there could be some sort of bot doing that?

I asked an LLM what could be happening and it suggests the user may be shadowbanned. But some of their other comments seem to get through.
