Show HN: I built an AI image tool solo in 1 month

https://styleloop.art/en
4•WenbinFan•8mo ago
Hey HN!

Over the past month, I built Styleloop, a solo side project that uses AI to transform images into stylized artworks. The primary focus is image-to-image transformation, with curated styles like Ghibli, pixel art, Animal Crossing, and more.

It’s my first real SaaS project, and honestly, the process changed how I think about building and shipping products. From backend to payments to UI polish — doing it all solo was exhausting and incredibly rewarding.

Styleloop was built with Next.js, Supabase, Stripe, and Cloudflare. I plan to keep improving it and add more creative modes.

I'd love your feedback on whether you’re into AI x creativity or solo hacking projects!

Thanks for checking it out!

How do you plan to position this as a product when people can do the same thing with their existing ChatGPT subscription?
WenbinFan•8mo ago
Good question!

Styleloop keeps it simple: upload a photo, pick a style, and done. The biggest difference is that there are no rate limits like ChatGPT has. You can generate freely with credits.

Good response!

I used AI a lot during dev.

ChatGPT (4o) is used for planning and single-file tasks, and Cursor for multi-file code editing.

Most of the basic code was AI-generated; I just reviewed and adjusted. It sped things up, even things like generating i18n files were mainly automated.

Nice, but I think pricing model should not be a monthly subscription. Most people need these things occasionally or for some project that they're working on. I'd consider non-expiring credits purchase. I know it's not MRR, but I think it has a better chance getting people to pay.
WenbinFan•8mo ago
Thanks for the great insight, I agree!

That’s why I’ve already added a one-time credit-based option alongside the subscription. As you mentioned, credits never expire and are perfect for occasional use. I’m still gathering data to compare it with subscriptions, but so far, it looks promising.

Appreciate your feedback, really helpful!
