New macos app: Image ML Annotator
I needed to annotate regions of a bunch of images to let Create ML train up an object recognition model. I found a program for that, but it decided to nag me every few images and I didn't like the UI much.
So… I decided to see how writing a new app by just exhorting Codex to apply itself works, the answer is: beautifully! I spent about a day feeling out how I want the app to work, with a couple of false starts for trying to make it too simple.
But now the world can enjoy Image ML Annotator for all your image labeling needs, as long as you need exactly what I needed.
I built it to train a sudoku puzzle locator for images, but the example data for playing with the app is a bunch of motivational pictures of puppies, kittens, and ducklings that I had an LLM and an image generator cough out. So, lots of AI in this project. The web site was AI generated, the help is AI generated (and is surprisingly good), all of the code is AI generated. I may have edited a small line here and there, but it is essentially 100% written by Codex with me standing over its shoulder and annoying it constantly.
