Hey Product Hunt 👋 Me and my wife are the makers of The Curious Thing. Our daughter is obsessed with puzzles and has a huge imagination so we wanted to put her into her own world in a puzzle she could build herself...of herself. So we built this: you upload a photo, pick a magical world (fairy, astronaut, mermaid, cowboy and more), and an AI model paints your child as the hero of that scene. You approve a watermarked proof, then we print it as a real premium jigsaw puzzle and ship it to your door. The fun engineering part: it's a face-preserving AI portrait pipeline wired to print-on-demand fulfillment, running entirely on Cloudflare Workers. The hardest problem was keeping the child's face recognizable while restyling everything around them into the fantasy world. A couple of things I'd genuinely love feedback on: - Which worlds would you want for your own kid? - Would you want formats beyond puzzles (posters, story books)? Happy to dig into the AI pipeline or the build with anyone. Thanks for checking it out 🧩
