Built GhostSVG – a prompt-to-illustration tool for devs, designers, and indie builders

Hey Indie Hackers! 👋

Just wanted to share something I’ve been building: GhostSVG, a tool that generates clean illustrations from text prompts — designed for devs, designers, and indie founders who want quick visuals for landing pages, docs, decks, or apps.

After building a few SaaS MVPs and internal tools, I kept running into the same issue:
• I needed a fast, lightweight illustration that looked decent
• Stock sites felt generic or off-brand
• AI tools like DALL·E takes too much luck or time to generate a decent one.
• And I don’t always want to jump into Figma or Illustrator just to make a hero image 😅

So I built GhostSVG — something I wish I had years ago.
