For the demo vault – a collection of notes in Markdown format – I needed a few nice pictures. The vault is meant as test material for Markdown software in general, and of course especially for my own Markdown reader project mdVü.

After a lot of fine-tuning and trial and error with the prompt, the idea turned into thirteen illustrations of the better-known fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm. Without very detailed instructions in the prompt about everything to watch out for, some of the pictures looked like screenshots from Nosferatu. To be fair, the original fairy tales aren’t exactly harmless either.

The demo vault is on GitHub: m3repo/mdvu-demo-vault. If you want to try mdVü, you’ll find matching reading material there right away. You can download mdVü for free from m3repo/mdvu.

The pictures have a transparent background (PNG alpha channel) and can be used as they are – within the terms of the license below.
