I did not plan Pixi’s Burrow.
That is probably the most honest thing I can tell you about how it started. I was not sitting in a strategy session mapping out a product roadmap. I was sitting at my laptop during the SheBuilds x Lovable hackathon, a 48-hour online buildathon for women who want to make something real, and I built a prompt builder because I kept watching creative people freeze at the blank prompt box and I thought, what if the box just... helped?
I shipped it in 48 hours. It worked. And I could not bring myself to abandon it.
So I did not.
Every week after that, quietly, I added something. Another builder. A toolkit page. A guestbook so visitors could leave a trace of themselves. An affiliate system. A founding member badge. An interactive guide on how to write an AI art prompt that I am genuinely proud of. All of it built as a solo founder, alongside life as a mum of four, in the hours between everything else.
Pixi’s Burrow is a boutique digital toyshop of AI art prompt builders. You pick your variables, the prompt builds itself, and you copy it straight into Midjourney, Ideogram, Leonardo, or wherever you make your art. No blank page. No guessing. Just prompts that work.
Today it launched on Product Hunt.
I will be honest with you about launch day. It is a strange experience. You spend weeks preparing, you send the emails, you post in the communities, you check the ranking every twenty minutes, and then you take a nap because you are exhausted and you wake up and check it again. The emails landed in spam for a lot of people, including my own test inbox, which made me laugh more than it probably should have. The US was asleep for most of our morning. None of it went perfectly.
And yet.
We reached #55 out of 811 products launching today. People I have never met found the Burrow and signed up. Upvotes came in from strangers. Comments from people who genuinely got what I was trying to build.
At one point the ranking showed #66.
My mum was born in 1966. Today was three days after, what would have been her 60th birthday. She passed away not long ago and I have been carrying that quietly through all of this, the building, the launching, the not-quite-sleeping. Seeing that number sit there on the screen, even for a few minutes, felt like something. I am not going to over-explain it. It just did.
I do not know if I would do Product Hunt again. The effort-to-return ratio is not obvious and launch days are exhausting when you are doing everything alone. But I am glad I did it once. There is something clarifying about putting your work in front of strangers and watching them find it without you holding their hand.
If you have not visited yet, the free toolkit has no gate on it. Start with the “How to Write an AI Art Prompt” guide or sign the Guestbook, you will need to use the “I Was Here” builder to generate your image first, which is the quickest way to see how the whole thing works.
