Chimera Lab: make imaginary hybrid animals on a visual canvas.

Try it live: https://shashidharprakash33--chimera-lab-fastapi-app.us-east.modal.run/

HOW IT WORKS
Pick two parents (a photo, a typed animal name, or a creature you made earlier) and an art style: real, drawing, anime, comic or cartoon. Chimera Lab draws a new creature that blends the two, then gives it a name and a field-guide entry with its length, weight, habitat, explorer's notes and defining trait.

A CANVAS THAT GROWS INTO A FAMILY TREE
Everything happens on a node canvas. From any image you can:
  •  Revise it by describing a change in one sentence.
  •  Paint over an area, which gets filled with parts of the parent animals.
  •  Draw a sketch, and the strokes become new body parts.
Every edit creates a new version, so you can always go back.

CARDS, GARDEN AND GENERATIONS
  •  Saved creatures become animal cards: field-guide pages with four extra views (front, side, back, above).
  •  Share a card to the public Garden. It shows the creature, never who made it.
  •  Fuse creatures again, so traits pass down across generations.

BUILT WITH
Meta Muse Image draws every creature and edit. Meta Muse Spark checks inputs, names each creature and writes its entry. The app runs as one FastAPI service on Modal, with Supabase for storage.
