Imaginix – Real-Time AI Image Generation & Drawing Playground ✨
This was one of the most fun projects I’ve worked on. I combined the power of fal.ai’s image generation with the interactive magic of Excalidraw to build a platform where you can draw, modify, and generate visuals instantly.
fal.ai is absolutely goated (if only it wasn’t so pricey 😭)
What It Does
- 🖼 Text-to-Image Generation – Type a prompt, get an image (within seconds).
- ✏️ Draw + Generate – Combine freehand sketching with AI-rendered enhancements.
- ⚡️ Real-Time Feedback – Every change reflects instantly — no reloads, no waiting.
- 🎨 Excalidraw Integration – Drag, draw, erase, and overlay drawings seamlessly with AI-gen images.
Tech Stack
- Next.js + TypeScript
- @fal-ai/serverless-client
- @excalidraw/excalidraw
Key Results
- ✅ Integrated fal.ai for near-instant generation — 95% faster rendering speeds vs traditional APIs.
- ✨ Excalidraw + AI tools reduced editing time by 40% and added more design control to the user.
- 💡 Real-time rendering system built for creative experimentation and dynamic UI.
Why I Loved Building This
This project was pure creative tech — I didn’t just code it, I played with it.
Blending drawing with AI opened up a whole new way of thinking about user interaction and visual creativity. Plus, it was satisfying to see everything work in real time.
It’s like Figma meets Midjourney meets MS Paint — and I loved every minute of building it.
