Vote: Which Art Tool Would You Buy?

I’m thinking of building software that will help artists and creatives.

Hello friend!

I’m thinking about making two new tools.

Your network is hiring. You just don’t know it yet.

Indy AI by Contra helps you find opportunities through your existing network. It connects to LinkedIn and X, then quietly surfaces warm opportunities. No cold outreach. No job boards. No feed fatigue. Just opportunities that find you.

The first is a drawing app, kind of like Photoshop.

I don’t like how Adobe charges so much money. And if you try to cancel, they make it really hard.

The second is a tool that makes art bigger without losing quality.

Sometimes I finish my art, but I lose the file I used to make it.

Then I want to print it big, but the picture is too small.

With my art enhancer, you can upload an 8×10 picture (or any size) and make it 64×80 (or any size). It will still look sharp and clear.

It will cost me about $180–$240 to make and run these tools. The drawing app costs more. The art enhancer costs less.

I would sell them for way less than it costs me to make.

If 7 people get the drawing app, I can make it.

If 15 people get the art enhancer, I can make it.
