The best TikToks

Gm! The Product Hunt team woke up in NYC this morning.

Come and say hello if you’re here too. We’re meeting up on Tuesday evening. If you’re a maker, it’ll be a great chance to get feedback on your launch and product.

Onto the news:

• The color of the 2024 is “Peach Fuzz.” 🍑
• The FDA has approved the first CRISPR therapy to treat sickle cell anemia.
• TikTok's year in review is a quick hit of 2023’s top videos, songs, and people.
• Beeper Mini is back. Yes, the one that JUST launched. Apple shut it down over the weekend, but your text bubbles will be blue once again.

Children are the future, right? Or is that AI?

Combine them both, throw in some beautiful illustrations, then tug at my heartstrings, and you’ve got my attention.

Dream Kid is an AI storyteller app that writes, narrates, and illustrates children's books — specifically for kids in a hospital setting. Stories are tailored and kids even can see themselves as the heroes. Stories also integrate medical and psychological themes. The goal is to offer support, comfort, and courage to the children who need it most.

CodeKidz is launching today, too, and it uses emotionally intelligent AI companions to teach young ones to code. That's great because Python is a lot more fun if you’re learning it from Leo the Lion or Professor Beakly.

The makers of CodeKdiz are asking for your feature requests, so parents: make sure to chime in.
