Basic Line Art

Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I’ve always loved the sophisticated, minimalist look of the Poor Charlie’s Almanack cover. I wanted that same effect for my own photos, but I didn't want to use AI. I wanted something deterministic and clean. To be honest, I vibe coded this whole thing as a weekend hobby project. I focused on getting the algorithm to translate pixel brightness into line weight just right to hit that classic woodcut/engraved vibe. Since this was a labor of love for my own use, I’ve made it open-source too. I’m sharing it here for any other fans of minimalist design or Charlie Munger’s aesthetic who want a quick way to create cool avatars and posters. Play with your photos, enjoy, and let me know what you think!
