I originally thought it might be too early to rely on recruiters, but I will look into it!
Re:Hiring as an Early Stage Startup on Monday May 09, 2022 @10:54PM (#31322888)
We are aiming to close in June so we will be fine. I could utilize our networks more throuoghly. Maybe it'll be a bit easier once we've raised out seed
Re:Hiring as an Early Stage Startup on Monday May 09, 2022 @10:52PM (#31322882)
It is tough out here! Interesting point that the founder should inherently have a large network to pull from. As a younger and first time founder, that's one place I am lacking
Re:Hiring as an Early Stage Startup on Monday May 09, 2022 @10:51PM (#31322872)
I consulted my network a bit but didn't push too hard because it almost feels exploitive but maybe I should revisit that

No NFT's here! We're building a creative tool for professional artists and designers.

Seems like remote is almost a must these days. Thanks for the suggestions

This role offers the unique opportunity to navigate the challenge of uniting professional artists and ML on the web.

Vizcom is a browser based 2d drawing application with a realtime AI render engine. The render engine uses 3d image reconstruction techniques to create the 3d model.

The architecture consists of typescript and react on the frontend and nest.js and prisma on the backend. All of the code is contained in a monorepo(nx) and deployment is done via microfrontends on Vercel.

Vizcom started in 2021 and is ventured back. We currently are 4 people strong. We are looking to expand our engineering team to keep up with the users interest in our product.

Extremely valuable, thank you! We fixed that flow so now it works as intended.
Re:Show HN: ML enabled creative tools for artists and designers on Saturday September 25, 2021 @07:39PM (#28657087)
Great insight. S2R is definitely the breadwinner. We have lots of cool ideas for generator such as cross breading images together and adding sliders to explore the GAN space. We are also currently exploring other tool ideas. Lots of possibilities!
Re:Show HN: ML enabled creative tools for artists and designers on Saturday September 25, 2021 @07:31PM (#28657043)
Ah good catch! We just launched 4k exports so theres still a couple bumps. Fixed this. Had to extend the timeout in our gunicorn server
Re:Show HN: ML enabled creative tools for artists and designers on Saturday September 25, 2021 @04:31PM (#28655981)
My co-founders and I have spent the last few months building Vizcom.

Artist and Designers have many ideas, but limited time and skills to realize their ideas. Our vision is to build ML tools that shorten the distance from having an idea and bringing it to life.

Currently, we have 2 products - generator and SKR. SKR automatically renders 2d sketches. Generator generates abstract images meant to spark creativity.

Any and all feedback is appreciated!
