A drawing app built for agent/human collaboration

About the project

A Rust 2D painting and animation app where a human draws with a pen and a coding agent paints with the same brushes via CLI, both seeing each other's strokes live. Every stroke is stored as data, not pixels, so it stays editable later.

Useful for
  • Have an agent paint a character sprite, then hand-fix individual strokes
  • Build frame-by-frame animation from key poses with automatic in-betweens
  • Export sprite sheets or assets straight into a Godot project

4.0 Early signal Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of November 14, 2026, 10:41 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

075150November 4, 2026November 14, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-14 (UTC), 00:04–10:33: 181 → 202 stars (+21). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +39 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • Over the last two days the pace is 1.7× that of the previous 8 days.
  • The repository is 10 days old and already has 202 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
  • Hacker News: “Show HN: Klad, a paint app your coding agent can drive (source-available)” — 83 points, 2 days ago.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 194.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
