An Oracle Bone Script App Born from a Sleepless Night – Playing with Gemini 2.5 Pro

🌙 A Sleepless Night with Gemini… and a Surprise App!

Last night, I couldn’t sleep.
So I started casually playing around with Gemini 2.5 Pro — and somehow…
I ended up building this little app! ✨

It’s called “Oracle Bone Script Visualizer”.

Try it here 👉 https://www.kangying.blog/Oracle/

🧱 What This App Does:

• Upload a stone background image
• Type in Hanzi or even Western letters
• See them beautifully animated with particles that converge into characters
• Click on any character to trace its historical roots via Hanziyuan.net

🎨 Impressions After Building It:

• 🟢 It’s genuinely fun to interact with ancient scripts this way!
• 🟢 The blend of modern animation and historical depth felt calming and artistic.
• 🟢 I’m amazed that something like this came together in just a few hours.

💡 Ideas for the Future:

• Improve mobile support (currently optimized for desktop)
• Add other character systems like Bronze Inscriptions or Seal Script
• Explore use in education or as museum/exhibit visual content

It’s a small project, but it feels like a bridge between the ancient and the modern.
With a spark of curiosity and a few quiet hours, something delightful can be created.
I’ll share the source code soon — stay tuned! 🙌
