Hi HN, I'm Jeroen, and I built PlanFinder, which generates single-floor apartment layouts. You pick an outline, entrance, and walls that get daylight, and it generates layouts which you can edit. It's using a custom discrete diffusion model, trained on mostly European floor plans. Plans can afterwards be filtered on hard constraints like minimal area, or minimum width of a space. Curious to hear your thoughts!

PlanFinder looks really cool! I've played around a bit and really like it. In the meantime still, would a demo video help you reach more people and get the product adopted? If so, feel free to try Fluxcut (www.fluxcut.dev) where the demo video in the landing page is made by Fluxcut.
I really like picking an outline, an entrance and the walls that get daylight, then editing the layouts and filtering them by minimum area and width.
Congrats for the launch! Create a demo video to help people easily understand what it is and how it works at Fluxcut(fluxcut.dev): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVBTCoruJ8o
