Hi HN — I am building Parascene as a place to create and share different kinds of art.

It supports AI-generated images, algorithmic/generative art, and traditional artwork. The goal is to put them in the same space so people can explore techniques, prompts, and creative ideas across mediums.

Current features include image generation tools, a public gallery, prompt sharing, and profiles where artists can post work.

Another goal is to encourage, enable, and reward local AI usage by sharing generation capabilities among the community.

I’m interested in feedback on the concept and the product. Does combining these mediums in one platform make sense?

Hello. I'm Harrison. I wanted to be an artist when I grew up, but instead I became a software developer.

Parascene is my first attempt at exploring "social network" and "doom scroll" or "endorphine" patterns.

I just wanted to work on a project that people engage with. So I threw a bunch of ideas at the wall.

We have about 20+ users and I'd like to see what happens as that scales.

I'd like to hear from people who are genuinely interested in this same sort of thing. I'm less interested in this site being perfect for all people, but more I would like it to grow from the suggestions of those who engage with it.

All that aside, human connection can be great when it lands right. Feel free to connect if you are interested.
