- Hey HN! Really excited to share this new image de-identifier. Kind of like a game of image telephone, you can upload an image and our app will convert the image to a caption, then will generate an image using stable diffusion using the parameters you set for the model yourself. We had so much fun making this and seeing the varying levels of scary generated i
- What engineers like:
- Enables privacy compliant training of ML models on realistic fake data. Connects to your prod database via SQL, transforms (fakes) the data, then trains your model. Provides a report after training to confirm how realistic the trained data was. Supports tabular and event driven models. Export to ipynb. Cloud or self-hosted.
- Trade-offs & limitations:
- No dark mode. Pretty hefty minimum requirements for self-hosting, but ML training is compute & GPU intensive.
- Best suited for:
- Developers training machine learning models

Warm low-saturation pastels, generous rounded corners, and approachable illustrations.
## Design Tokens
```css
:root {
--background: #f8f8fc;
--surface: #ffffff;
--foreground: #17171a;
--muted-foreground: #6b6b75;
--accent: #6d28f6;
--radius: 16px;
--font-heading: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
--font-body: "Inter", ui-sans-serif, system-ui, sans-serif;
}
```
Color area ratio: Background #F8F8FC (~58%) · Surface #FFFFFF (~18%) · Text #17171A (~10%) · Muted Text #6B6B75 (~8%) · Accent #6D28F6 (~6%). Background and surface dominate the canvas; reserve the accent color for primary buttons and active states.
