FurakToon

What I built

FurakToon is an AI web app that turns a short idea into a beautiful anime or cartoon character in seconds — type a prompt, pick a style, and download your art. Furak means "beautiful" in Tetum, the language of Timor-Leste.

It's a complete, working product (not a prototype):

• 🖌️ AI image generation (Together AI) — Anime or Cartoon, 1024×1024.
• 🧑‍🎨 Reference faces — upload a photo to put a real person into the art.
• ✨ AI prompt enhancement + two-layer content safety (LLM moderation).
• 🪙 Credits system — 10 free credits/month (1 per image, 2 with a reference).
• 🖼️ Personal gallery, 🌗 light/dark mode, and a live DB status badge.
• 🌏 21 languages with a Southeast-Asia focus, including Tetum, Indonesian, Malay, Tagalog, Thai, Vietnamese — plus RTL for Arabic.

Who it's for

Creators, students, and casual users across Southeast Asia who want AI art tools that work in their own language. Most AI image tools are English-first; FurakToon is built from Timor-Leste, for the region.

Tools I used

• Next.js 16 (App Router, React 19) + Tailwind CSS v4
• Supabase — auth, Postgres (credits, generations), Storage, RLS
• Together AI — image models + Llama 3.3 70B (prompt enhancement & moderation)
• Novus.ai — required product analytics, installed and live
• Built with Claude Code / AI-assisted development

How Novus is integrated

1. Dashboard (novus.pendo.io/dashboard) — captures page views, sign-ups, logins, image generations, downloads, moderation blocks, and out-of-credit events (client + server-side tracking).
2. Cortex Sitemap (novus.pendo.io/cortex/memory/sitemap) — Novus automatically mapped the product's architecture: Public pages → Protected Create flow → API routes → Gallery. (Screenshot: image.png.)
3. Pull requests — Novus opened real, merged PRs against the repo: closed PRs.

What I learned shipping it

Shipping with analytics from day one changes how you build. Instead of guessing, I could see in Novus what people actually did — and Novus even opened pull requests against the repo, turning "I think this is good" into "I can see what's working." The hardest, most valuable part wasn't the AI generation; it was the product craft around it: credits, safety, i18n, and a coherent UX.

Judging-criteria notes

• Product Thinking — a specific, underserved audience: AI art in Southeast Asian languages, built from Timor-Leste.
• Craft & Execution — full auth, credits economy, safety, gallery, dark mode, 21 languages; works end-to-end.
• Originality & Ambition — language-first localization + a real credits system, not just another prompt box.
• Shippedness — public URL anyone can use right now; Novus installed and measuring; DB kept awake via a scheduled health ping for judging.
