Show HN: I Made a Website That Turns Sketches into Thumbnails
Hi friends,
I made Scrive, a website where you can draw your thumbnail idea on a whiteboard and have AI turn it into a polished thumbnail.
I got this idea when ChatGPT-4o's image generation came out. People were sketching thumbnails on paper and feeding them into ChatGPT to create visuals. I thought, "Why not make this process easier?"
So, I built Scrive. Just sketch your idea on the website's whiteboard, and the AI will handle the rest.
It's still early, and I'd love to hear your thoughts. Any feedback or suggestions are welcome!
Thanks for checking it out!

Ask HN: Is there a decent configuration format?
Hey all,
I'm working on bot protection software and something I've run into is that YAML landlines can and will hit you at the worst times possible. Is there a configuration format that makes it easy to use for less technically apt people and lets you write regular expressions without having to double escape backslashes in strings? I also need it to have good support in Go, ideally with a way to get the same semantics as encoding/json.
Thanks in advance!
