Facefork routes image-model calls through OpenRouter using the user's own API key, requires no accounts or sign-ups, and states that photos and keys never reach the web host or any third party other than OpenRouter. The source code is available on GitHub at github.com/aravindhsampath/facefork, and the project was posted to Hacker News as a Show HN with 1 point and 0 comments.", "body_md": "Hello HN.\n\nI made this as a fun project with AI. No accounts, sign-ups, or any strings attached.\n\nThe idea: Prompt your way into having AI modifying your photos in a tree-like interface. Every edit/prompt creates a leaf node. Share the whole tree or any single picture.\n\nUses Openrouter as a singular way to access AI image models. Bring your own key.\n\nThe whole project is served as a privacy-respecting static web app. No tracking. Your photos or API key never reach the web host or any third party other than Openrouter (obviously for the AI call).\n\nCode is here: [https://github.com/aravindhsampath/facefork](https://github.com/aravindhsampath/facefork)\n\nAsk your LLM to clone, review and run it locally if you’d rather not trust/use the hosted version.\n\nFun PRs welcome.\n\nComments URL: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49739445](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49739445)\n\nPoints: 1\n\n# Comments: 0", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-facefork-a-tree-interface-to-ai-edit-photos-for-fun", "canonical_source": "https://facefork.com/", "published_at": "2026-09-17 11:51:33+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-17 11:56:28.086206+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-products", "generative-ai", "ai-tools"], "entities": ["Facefork", "aravindhsampath", "OpenRouter", "GitHub", "Hacker News"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-facefork-a-tree-interface-to-ai-edit-photos-for-fun", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-facefork-a-tree-interface-to-ai-edit-photos-for-fun.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-facefork-a-tree-interface-to-ai-edit-photos-for-fun.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-facefork-a-tree-interface-to-ai-edit-photos-for-fun.jsonld"}}
