Story overview
On October 5, 2026, an independent developer launched two AI-powered tools on the V2EX community. The first tool, InkDoo, is designed for blog and newsletter creators, supporting Chinese and English long-form text or links under 12,000 words. It uses an LLM to act as an art director—extracting key points, determining visual structures, and designing low-tech physical metaphors—before generating unified white-background, black-line hand-drawn illustrations with minimal red, orange, and blue handwritten annotations using GPT Image 2.5, complete with automatic hosting and Markdown output. On the same day, the developer also released Vivid Photos, a headless CMS built specifically for photography. Aimed at streamlining AI-driven web development, the platform allows users to manage photos centrally and connect them via API and prompts, enabling ChatGPT or Claude Code to generate photography portfolio websites without requiring developers to manually handle image sizing, conversions to WebP and AVIF, placeholders, or raw EXIF data in code repositories.

How is heat calculated?About the methodHide
Heat counts how many independent sources covered a story in the last 48 hours: one source counts once no matter how many posts it published, decaying with a 24-hour half-life. What ranks first is what many people are talking about.
