Can confirm the animated drawings. I built a company (dibulo.com) which does that (Age 3-8 mostly, but also adults and seniors seem to like it). We love that kids spend more time coloring than looking at the screen (although it is always a magic moment). We also do not have a lot of interaction with the screen itself and soon gonna add more and more educational elements to it.
thank you! Conversations with kids can be quite hilarious. And they are always honest :)
I am so tired of seeing touch everywhere in general. Not just in cars, but putting the touch buttons on the stove is such a fail. Water spills out of the pot and locks the stove or you can't even touch the buttons because they are too hot.
Re:Why Tailwind Isn't for Me on Friday January 26, 2024 @05:45AM (#39141127)
I love tailwind too. The article did not convince me as there was also no real solution / alternative proposed.

I have written custom css since the year 2000 and using tailwind just makes me much faster (is like setting flags) and simply by reading it, I understand how an element looks like. No matter if my past-self wrote it or another engineer.

It can pollute the HTML (although @apply helps a lot to define your reusable .title, .card, .btn, .btn-lg, .btn-primary etc), but at least it is written in HTML and not in JS, which is even harder to transfer to other eco-systems.

Also extending styles (tailwind config) is amazing if you want to reuse your styles in other projects.

I used FrontPage to teach myself how to create websites (if you could call it that). I placed elements in the WYSIWYG editor and then looked at the code which elements etc were produced. Such an amazing time.

Funny - Doing this exact thing while reading this post
That's cool and looks like a fun world! As I understand it, you can only use it at certain locations? With Dibulo you can have such entertainment in your living room.

Thank you! Yes, we try to make it as easy as possible. I am sure at one point we will have an app for the sake of making the mobile experience better (fullscreen etc), but we ourselves love to have no friction. And after all kids should be able to use it too.

Hi HN community!Proud to have recently become a founder myself and now to submit a "Show HN".We are Dibulo, a young startup which is on a mission to redefine coloring sessions for kids! We have built our first worlds, sold our first coloring books and now we want to let the world know about us :) So far we have been praised by parents, and also got pretty good feedback from institutions like...

Unfortunately we have't launched yet, but you may love https://dibulo.com for her next vacation. We focus on an off-screen coloring experience, where you bring your drawings to life.

Currently we are looking for testers and input from parents, so feel free (anyone) to send me a mail to [email protected] if you don't mind an early version.

Very cool tech and amazing dance! :)

We are working on a startup (https://dibulo.com) which provides children an off-screen coloring experience combined with a digital reward. We have so many ideas and using pose-estimation is one of them. Definitely gonna play around with it!
