This gave me the idea to build an app that could take any child's photo and drop them right into their favorite storybook. After a year and the magic of Stable Diffusion (thanks, ComfyUI!), MyStorybook was born.
Here's how it works:
1. Choose a story: We have a library of engaging children's stories, including classics like Peter Pan. 2. Upload a photo: I uploaded a photo of Francisco, and our AI seamlessly integrated him into the story's illustrations. 3. Record your voice: ElevenLabs' voice cloning is insanely good - it makes the whole experience incredibly personal by using your own voice for the narration.
Francisco's reaction? Priceless. Seeing his face light up as he flew alongside a very familiar-looking Peter Pan... well, let's just say there might have been some real-life pixie dust in the air that day.
Right now, MyStorybook is live on the App Store and Google Play. There are a few stories to try, and we're adding more all the time.
Since we're avid Hacker News users, we created a promo code just for the community! The next 20 people who use the code HN at checkout can personalize a story for free.
