Hey PH 👋 This started with my younger cousin. I gave her a bead kit for summer break. She loved it, then asked if she could turn a photo of her favorite dog into a keychain for me. That question made me want a simple tool for it, so I built one. Bead Pattern Maker is free, needs no account, and keeps images in the browser. Drop in a photo, tweak the grid and colors, and get a pattern with bead counts. It’s free, and I plan to keep it that way. I just like the idea of helping people make small, personal things instead of being limited to fixed kits. It’s early, and I’m sure there are rough edges. If you try it, give me one blunt answer: what would you change first? UX, output quality, missing features—anything. That’s what I’ll work on next. Thanks for checking it out 💛
