The randomize button in the lower right corner is the best way to see the possibilities.

Easter egg and whimsical design
From 2 comments
Love that easter egg!
Hackbraten on HNThis is super cute. Loving how the little diagrams change as the sliders are moved. One thing that might really get people to purchase a drawing is the ability to change line…

Objections
Vector download price of $19 is too high
From 2 comments
I like it and would've liked to buy a vector download but $19 is insane. I would've paid 3$, $5 at the max.
pragmatick on HNCool, but why would I pay that much to download the image?

stevenhuang on HNAbsolutely the thing keeping me from thinking about a purchase is the missing possibilites to color the lines in different colors.

akuji1993 on HNI just like really colorful design, so another machine with cool geometric patterns or something with a lot of color control, would be awesome imo!

Seed with existing line drawings
From 2 comments
Is there a way of 'seeding' this with line drawings?
anitil on HNI agree, this would be a cool idea and make it feel more personalized

Questions
Will the business model work?
From 1 comment
This business model seems like a fascinating idea. Do you know if it will work? Is anyone else using it?
