Astra helped me improve how MeltDots presents its capabilities. I used it to make our examples more visually appealing, so visitors could better understand what they could create with the product. It also helped me develop SEO content that explains the tools and gives people more ways to discover MeltDots. The biggest change was being able to put more care into the examples and content around the product. As a solo developer, that helped me give more attention to how people discover MeltDots and understand what they can make with it.

Hi Product Hunt, I'm the developer behind MeltDots. A tiny version of your cat. A gift in someone's favorite colors. Something on your desk that you made yourself. MeltDots helps you turn a picture you love into a fuse bead pattern: a grid you can follow with small plastic beads. The challenge is in the details. Will that outline still be recognizable on a small grid? Can you make it with fewer colors? Can you fix one bead without starting over? I'm building MeltDots around those decisions, so you can keep shaping the result: • Bring a photo or doodle, pick a design from the pattern library, or describe an idea to AI. • Convert a clear image directly. For a busy photo, try AI Enhance to simplify it first. • Choose your bead palette, change the colors, and paint or erase individual beads. • Download a PNG with the grid, color codes, and quantities for your project. Direct conversion and editing are free, with no account needed. Downloads need a free account. AI features use account credits. For a first try, open an animal pattern and change it to your favorite colors. Then try your own image, or use AI to explore a different starting point. I'd love to see what you make, and hear where the process feels difficult. I'm here for questions about the product and how I'm building it. What would you turn into beads first? Your photos. Your ideas. Your bead patterns.
