Why we built it
Plenty of people have a story. Very few can draw sixty pages of it and keep one character looking like the same person throughout.
Konyomi reads the story you paste, finds the people in it and settles how each one looks before it draws a single page. You read the result as a chapter, top to bottom, and you can publish it for other readers.
What it does
- 01
Paste a story
A scene, a chapter or a bedtime story. Konyomi counts the words and tells you how many pages it will make.
- 02
Pick a look
Konyomi draws your opening scene four ways: shōnen action, painterly, webtoon and classic comic. You choose one.
- 03
Meet your cast
Konyomi lists each character with the details it found, like a teal raincoat or a rust-red scarf. You can change a look before any page is drawn.
- 04
Read it, then publish it
Pages arrive one by one and you can start reading before the chapter is finished. Publishing puts it in front of other readers.
How it's built
- App
- TanStack Start on Cloudflare Workers
- Drawing
- A resumable pipeline on Cloudflare Workflows that plans pages, then draws them
- Stage
- The reading and creating screens work on sample data. The drawing pipeline is being connected
Konyomi is still in the workshop.
It is already up at konyomi.com, and we are still building it.
