Show HN: I made a web app to bring children's drawings to life

Hey HN!

I used to spend hours drawing all kind of things as a kid. Sadly though, those drawings are long gone.

Inspired by this, I created DoodleDreams. A webapp that brings drawings to life using AI and stores them as memories. You can always look back at the drawings, see who made them, and even know the age they were drawn at.

I thought it was a fun way to preserve those memories. What do you think?

Key Features:

- Relocate files without breaking existing references.

- Automatic system restore points for added safety.
