Show HN: Draw a fish and watch it swim with the others

drawafish.com

899 points by hallak 5 days ago

Made this website as an exercise in vibe-coding and GCP. It was posted about a few times around the internet, on sites like [Morning Brew](https://www.morningbrew.com/issues/business-buzzkill), [MetaFilter](https://www.metafilter.com/209703/Draw-A-Fish), boingboing.net, etc. I think it's cute!

I built a basic CNN trained against penises and swastikas, and then anything that doesn't hit the 63% confidence score gets sent to a mod queue, a [vibe-coded fish-tinder](https://bsky.app/profile/bigass.bsky.social/post/3luvikxn3f2...).

Was a fun exercise, spent about a month on it. Frontend is HTML5 hosted on github pages, backend is Node.JS on GCP.

The leaderboard is fascinating. Some people are clearly putting a lot of time into this, while the rest of us are trying to sneak phallic shapes past your CNN.

    I am literally trying my best to draw a fish only to be told it is only 30% likely to be a fish. Cruel.

    • theginger 2 days ago

      That makes me feel better about my fish, I thought it was among the worst, but good to know it atleast qualified.

            I speak 5 languages and english isn't on top of the list. The time you spent writing that novel could have been spent learning another language instead perhaps?

            • gerdesj 13 hours ago

              I was merely noting that you used a grammatical rule I have not seen in quite a long time.

              sigh

              5 -> five, english -> English (we are not Germans who insist on all nouns be capitalised but why not try it for a proper noun), novel -> diatribe. Possible missing ellipsis.

              I speak roughly seven languages really badly and can fail to apologise properly in several others.

    I could dedicate a month, or a year, and never come up with something like those. Are they really using the site tool, or is there a trick to draw them elsewhere and import them? Those are truly amazing!

      If you have a tablet and some artistic background, these are all definitely doable. Doing those with a mouse would be a lot harder.

      I drew a real triumphant one that edged over the 60% threshold. Then read that the mod queue was at 63% and had to do it all over again.

    Now I understand why it rates my doodle as 7.5% fish probability.

  • johnisgood a day ago

    The major problem is that I could up-vote and down-vote as many times as I want. It is rate-limited, however[1]. I know, because I wrote a script. :D Seems like someone else did, too, except to down-vote.

    Please fix it.

    Edit: these down-votes are going down by the 100s or so, someone is really bullish to have "RiverToSea" fish down-voted. Ironically, the "RiverToSea" fish was made by someone who named himself "f**k palestine".

    [1] After refresh, you can continue voting till you reach the limit, which is problematic.

    • needleballista a day ago

      I've always thought it was MORE democratic that if you really like a fish you should be able to upvote it more than if you just kind of like it

> I built a basic CNN trained against penises

After seeing it in action, my second thought (first was just watching my fish) was that I was amazed at the good behavior of the users because I would have expected a lot of penises floating around. Now I understand. Nicely done!

  • hallak 2 days ago

    Actually most people aren't trying to submit bad fish! I was surprised to, it's really like 95/5 good to bad submissions. People seem to follow the rules on average :)

    • roughly 2 days ago

      Yeah, there’s two rules that define the internet:

      1. 95% of people will not be trying to draw penises

      2. 5% penises by volume is a lot of penises

      • sebastiennight 2 days ago

        By volume, yes, but by mass, it's a pretty reasonable load

        • roughly 2 days ago

          Perfectly average, I’d say

          • un1970ix 2 days ago

            Or roughly average, as your username would say. :D

    • stbtrax 2 days ago

      To be fair, you stop them from submitting the bad fish before they have a chance. I never submitted a fish that wasn't already 'green' for %

      That was the Slack logo redesign.

      • maxbond a day ago

        My hot take is that the Slack logo is an Alphabet-product logo. The colors aren't quite right, but it's red/yellow/green/blue like an Alphabet logo. It would fit right into the lineup. It's particularly similar to the (obsolete) Google Podcasts and Google Photos logos.

        My pet theory (that I don't sincerely believe) is that this was deliberate to help smooth a hypothetical acquisition by Alphabet, before they were bought by Salesforce.

        • maxbond a day ago

          > My pet theory (that I don't sincerely believe)...

          To be clear, this combination is a tetradic palete on a color wheel. Color theory and simplified logo trends make this coincidence much more likely than it would initially appear. Still funny.

  • MichaelDickens 2 days ago

    My guess is the CNN was trained on highly abstracted stereotypical-fish-drawings, not on actual pictures or high-quality drawings of fish. I put in my best effort to draw a good-looking fish (although I'm no artist) and I got 35%. Then I drew a basic single-stroke fish and got 65%.

furyofantares 2 days ago

Somewhat interesting thing with my 9yo. She's a pretty good artist, she can draw various characters and objects pretty well.

With this she clearly just wanted to do the standard stick fish shape, but it turns out she only knows how to do it facing left. Facing left, looks typical, facing right, almost a figure 8. So after like 6 attempts being judged by the computer she's getting frustrated, and I'm like how about this, turn the phone upside down to have her draw facing left. But now she can't do it left either!

  • gus_massa 2 days ago

    Feature request: Make the model evaluate the fish and then evaluate the mirrored version of the fish. Pick the highest value as the orientation. What could go wrong? Perhaps ask the user before mirroring?

    • addandsubtract a day ago

      We definitely need a text-to-stickfish model here

  • littlekey 2 days ago

    You're right, that IS interesting. Something about having to learn with rigid constraints first before you can generalize the knowledge, I guess.

    • furyofantares 2 days ago

      I think she learned to do the fish the way kids learn to draw a star. It's a motion they learn to do, and she wanted to do that simple motion. She's good at knowing a shape she wants to make and drawing it but I think knowing a gesture she wants to make is different.

      And then I think when she consciously thinks about it - trying to do it the opposite way, or later the normal way after being judged repeatedly - she can't make the motion that way. But I bet if she was just thinking of the shape and trying to draw that shape it would be zero issue.

Suggestion: canvas.addEventListener('dragstart', (e) => { e.preventDefault(); } );

At least on Firefox/Mac, sometimes while dragging it "picks up" the image to drag it. This should prevent that.

> exercise in vibe-coding

The code shows it... Your escaping routine seems OK, but you really __should not__ be building HTML and JS(!) using raw string interpolation. Or letting the client decide whether the submission needs moderation.

  • hallak 2 days ago

    I don't let the client decide whether the submission needs moderation :)

    There's a very slightly different model in the backend that sends things to the mod queue. Strings are also sanitized there. But copilot really wanted to add all that logic to the frontend too and I thought it was funny

    • rafram 2 days ago

      You still should not be building HTML and JS using string interpolation.

      • hallak 2 days ago

        Absolutely! I've removed all references of HTML and JS using string interpolation.

        (jk)

        This is definitely a drawback with with vibe-coding. I never really write like HTML5 style code - at work I always use typescript with heavy ESLint, so never have to worry about this.

        I figured the string sanitization in the backend would take care of any XSS vulns, which was my main concern. But I will have to read into the dangers of string interpolation which I admit I do not remember too much about (outside of the XSS stuff I tried to mitigate).

        Thanks for giving the opportunity to learn... :)

        • mh- 2 days ago

          > Absolutely! I've removed all references of HTML and JS using string interpolation.

          I love that this is becoming a meme, haha. Thanks for the laugh.

  • hyperhello 2 days ago

    To be fair, everything on the client is raw string interpolation. It's only secure if you comprehensively vet everything once it's on the server.

    • rafram 2 days ago

      That's absolutely not true. Sanitization on the client is significantly safer, because the client knows how it parses HTML, while the server can, at best, guess (and hope it follows the spec).

      When you set element.textContent = someUserGeneratedContent, the browser guarantees that the user-generated content will never be parsed as HTML.

      response.write("<div>" + sanitize(someUserGeneratedContent) + "</div>") has no such guarantee.

      • hyperhello 2 days ago

        If that’s all you want, it’s trivial to replace all < and & with their encodings.

I did this on a trip to Japan but can't remember for the life of me where. Some museum. My wife and I drew fishes and then they were uploaded and we went to a room and watched them swim across walls/ceilings. Really cool experience

  • romanhn 2 days ago

    Our family did this recently as well at teamLab Planets in Tokyo. I filled out a circular template with a very creepy looking "smiley" face. The template turned out to be for raindrops. I couldn't stop giggling when hundreds of my monstrous creations filled the room, it was very fun.

  • neumann a day ago

    The Singapore ArtScience museum has this concept. Templated sea animal colour in pages that a guide vetted before scanning and then your fish appears on the walls of the dark room in a sea life picture swimming with all the other fish. It was pretty cool. A variation in the other room was the same deal but with flying machines, but this time they gave you a remote control that controlled specifically your creation as it flew around on the landscape projected onto the walls.

MikeHartman a day ago

Fun, but really frustrating to spend a ton of time making a detailed fish, get a fish probability of 67.2%, submit it successfully with no note about it needing moderation, and it still never shows up.

And I don't mean "I never noticed it show up in the public tank". I mean my profile says "8 fish created", but if I "view my fish" there are only two in the list. If I go to my default fish tank I see all 8, but if I click on one of the missing ones and try to add it to a different tank or vote on it I get "Failed to <do whatever>: Fish not found".

They exist but they don't exist. This isn't a tank, it's a window into purgatory.

jezzamon 2 days ago

Fun!!!

Small changes if make: - Change the background colour of the drawing canvas to match the water background - Add fill tool? So folks can color this fish white? Bonus points if you automatically color the inside part of the fish white - Fix the discontinuity of how the fish swim by stretching the pixels of the fish that you draw

I drew a fish but I couldn't find it anywhere when it switched to the tank. Perhaps you could highlight the user's own fish, at least initially?

Locally we have the National Museum of Play. One of the exhibits right near the entrance is a virtual aquarium where you can color in a picture of a fish. Then you take it to a scanner and press a button and your fish starts swimming in a huge screen that serves as a virtual aquarium.

socalgal2 2 days ago

Cool but ......

This is my feeling of vibe coding this kind of stuff so far. It's never really good, it's just kind of acceptable because it was vibe codeded.

The way the fish are stretched where they gets sliced into bands is not something I think most humans would generally choose to do. With a few characters of code change you could at least stretch each column so it scales to the next column.

I know vibe coding will continue to get better. There's a bunch of people at my work that have a vibe-coding chat where they show off their latest creation. Most of them they'd done in Gemini Canvas. The prompts are usually 1 or 2 paragraphs like "Make a 3d tower defense game with joypad input where you move a character using the joypad and can place towers by pressing the button. ....." And it spits out a working game but it's only interesting because it was vibe coded, not because the game is actually in any-way-shape-or-form interesting, good, pretty.

Also, I appreciate that this game had a fish recognizer but I also found it super scary. I tried to make to make a sunfish and it was like "not a fish". I don't want bad AI judging what is and isn't acceptable.

    It only shows the most recent 50 fish. Your fish got bumped by a newer fish.

Kudos to the person who managed to sneak a tiny fish, in a fish tank, on a table, with a plant in a plant pot, past the detector.

Fun to try to draw a fish that passes the looks like a fish test, while having as many penis-like features as possible.

No mobile support?

  • hallak 2 days ago

    There is mobile support... but it currently loads a 40mb model which doesn't work so great in a lot of places where you will use a phone. I meant to allow you to submit anyway, but I didn't test enough. Sorry...

    It turns out there are two filters; the fishiness as determined by the UI layer must be separate from the content moderation filters on the backend. I've also had a couple fish that the UI thought were acceptable but the backend (rightfully) disappeared into the void.

    Top ranked fish has score 248k, 324k likes. Second has score 8k, 8k likes.

    All other submissions have score approximately equal to number of likes.

    Is the first submission legit or the result of hackers?
