I’ve been building a small playground on top of Nano Banana 2 / Gempix2 and would love feedback from HN.

Quick context: “Nano Banana 2” is the public name of a next‑gen image model; Gempix2 / GEMPIX2 is the internal codename on the Google side. I don’t run the model myself – the app sits on top of the fal-ai/gempix2 endpoint and tries to make the model actually usable for day‑to‑day work.

What it is

- A web UI and workflow layer for Nano Banana 2 / Gempix2: https://www.gempix2.site

- Focused on 4K images, 10‑image fusion, and non‑English (especially CJK)text inside the image

- Comes with a small prompt library (400+ prompts) for portraits, product shots, infographics and CJK use‑cases: https://www.gempix2.site/prompts

Why it might be interesting

From my tests and research, this model family is good at:

- Native 2K generation with true 4K export (useful for covers, posters,large screens)

- Up to 10‑image fusion for collages, product walls, comparison shots, or simple storyboards

- Much better text rendering for Chinese / Japanese / Korean, plus mixed‑language prompts

- Strong prompt following for practical stuff like “blog cover”, “ecommerce grid”, “simple infographic”

One early case: a 3‑person ecommerce team went from ~8 hours per product (shoot + retouch + layout) to about 45 minutes by moving most of their visuals into Nano Banana 2 workflows: 10‑image fusion for multi‑angle product walls, direct “text‑on” promo posters in Chinese, and simple data infographics.

How it’s built

- Frontend: Next.js + React + TypeScript + Tailwind

- Backend: Next.js API routes, Postgres + Drizzle ORM for tasks and credit accounting

- Image generation: @fal-ai/client talking to fal-ai/gempix2 (queue API, webhooks, status endpoints)

- Extras: Stripe for payments, some basic credit/refund logic around long‑running jobs

What I’m unsure about

- Are the workflows (covers, infographics, product images) actually useful to people who ship things, or am I over‑fitting to my own use cases?

- For those who work with Midjourney / DALL·E 3 daily: what controls do you miss here (seed control, finer composition tools, etc.)?

- If you regularly need CJK text in images, what would a “dream” Nano Banana 2 / Gempix2 UI look like for you?

Happy to answer technical / product questions here, and I’d really appreciate blunt feedback on what feels useful vs. unnecessary.
