Hi everyone,

I'd like to share Aivition, a native AI image processing tool I built. It is a 1.8MB executable, written entirely from scratch in C++ without using any third-party or open-source libraries.

It is powered by three self-built, lightweight libraries:

A UI library implemented directly against the pure Win32 API.

A computer vision library that handles image decoding, encoding, and processing (like OpenCV).

An AI inference library that runs neural networks locally (like PyTorch).

I use it daily and hope it might be useful for others.

I'd be grateful for any feedback on performance, compatibility, or your general experience with it.

What's the license? I'm guessing it's not open source because you didn't publish the source.

There is no license. It's just an app, not an open source project.

You may find you get more value out of this project if you publish the source code - even if you do so not under an open source license.

Asking people to download and run an untrusted Windows executable is a major barrier to demonstrating your skills. I don't even have a Windows machine to hand to try it out on!

Showing the source code would give people a much better idea of what you can do.

If you're not willing to publish the source code (and that's a perfectly reasonable decision, it's your work!) I suggest creating a video that demonstrates the project.
