Okayyy this is AWESOME! 🤩
Just tried it and the workflow is so smooth. Loving the retro style and the way it fits DEV’s personality.
Huge kudos to the entire DEV team — this is one of those small features that makes a huge difference. 🎨
Yesssss. This is awesome. I spend a lot of time trying to make things visually appealing. I love pictures! 🌌 will try!
Loved it😍
this is osmm
Love it to o😃😃😃😃
Oh no…
why?
absolutely — why? maybe for making it easier to spot slop content at first sight? Although I like Ben's cover, so — to be fair — this might actually be fun (for a while)
So basically… aesthetic quality control? 👀 Not the worst idea.
I never took the time to add an image to my posts. But with the generator build in it becomes an extra challenge to create a cover image that doesn't look like it is used many times before. And make something that is relevant. I'm not the most visually creative person, but I'm going to do my best.
Thank you, I accepted the challenge.
Yeah, I tried an it seems like fun, thwarting all the other trend predictions for future colors and web design with a neon pink and cyan neon retro design that might match "transformative teal", if anything. Yes, it's actually fun, so I'll give it a try for my upcoming 2026 predictions post.
2026 Web, Design, and Tech Predictions - and a Review of Last Year's Forecast

@ben thanks for the fun tool! I love the retrofuturistic style, however, I couldn't resist to add a critical comment about retrofuturism quoting a recent New York Times magazine article.
But more importantly, I have a question: what is considered fair use considering off-site publications?
I have just used and reused AI-generated images in my Substack post about 2026 Trend Spotting beyond the Obvious which links back to my earlier DEV post 2026 Web, Design, and Tech Predictions - and a Review of Last Year's Forecast.
So, both posts use AI generated images, originating from the DEV post editor prompt, but retouched in GIMP, and one of the images is only used on Substack, not on DEV. What do you think about that?
Oooh awesome!
How come all generated are retro discostyle? 😂
Will this be available in comments?
Yes, but we'd want to be extra thoughtful about the finer details of how it might work and how we ensure further nuanced moderation details are amply accounted for.
Thanks!
very fast~
Wow! Great idea to create an image matches DEV Community. Looking forward to use it.🎨
You gus are amazing,I'm so jealous.How can I become as talented as you?
awesome!
Cool 🔥
It doesn't remember my prompt after image is generated in case I want to tweak it.
