24 alternatives to Rubbrband – A hosted ComfyUI alternative for image generation

Hey HN! My friends and I built a new platform for generating images. The app is easy to use for people who find ComfyUI hard to use, or just simply don’t have a GPU to use it on. For those not familiar, ComfyUI is a great tool for using open-source models like Stable Diffusion. It’s primarily great because it’s a node-based tool, which means you can chain together models, upscalers, prompting nodes, etc… which let you create images in the exact aesthetic you want. There’s also a vibrant dev community behind ComfyUI, which means that there are a ton of nodes and customizability. We’re users…

Rubbrband is a hosted web-based platform for generating images using open-source models like Stable Diffusion. It simplifies ComfyUI's node-based workflow for users without access to powerful GPUs or those who find the… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. Rubbrband – A hosted ComfyUI alternative for image generation launched in 2024; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

    Hey HN! We’re the founders of Rubbrband (https://www.rubbrband.com/), a evaluation platform for image generation models like Stable Diffusion. We provide a monitoring application to detect deformed human features in AI generated images at scale. For example, we automatically flag images of people with deformed eyes or hands. We’ve worked with several companies leveraging generative image models in production, and found that one of the main problems is that it’s hard to filter images for good quality sample at scale. Typically, teams will have to manually look through the…

    The homepage of the website allows for free image generation, and in the workflows, there are introductions to nodes related to ComfyUI. In the AI tools section, Pixart-Alpha is currently available for free use. I am still updating this website, and feedback and communication are welcome.

    Hey everyone! Excited to be able to share the release of `InvokeAI 2.0 - A Stable Diffusion Toolkit`, an open source project that aims to provide both enthusiasts and professionals a suite of robust image creation tools. Optimized for efficiency, InvokeAI needs only ~3.5GB of VRAM to generate a 512x768 image (and less for smaller images), and is compatible with Windows/Linux/Mac (M1 & M2). InvokeAI was one of the earliest forks off of the core CompVis repo (formerly lstein/stable-diffusion), and recently evolved into a full-fledged community driven and open source stable…

    Hey, we’ve been working on an open-source project built on top of Comfy for the last few weeks. It is still very much a work in progress, but I think it is at a place where it could start to be useful. The idea is that you can turn a workflow into a web app with an easy-to-use UI. Currently, it should work with any workflows that take images and text as input and return images. We are aiming to add video support over the next few days. Feedback and contributions are more than welcome!

    I was frustrated with laggy notebook stable diffusion demos. Plus they usually didn't have all the features I wanted (for example some of them only had inpainting and some only had img2img, so if I wanted both I had to repeatedly copy images between notebooks). So I made this desktop frontend which has much smoother performance than notebook alternatives and integrates image generation, inpainting and img2img into the same workflow. See a video demo here: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/6392321/191858568-... Features include: * Can run locally or connect to a…

    Hey hn, this has been something I've been working on for the last few months and is finally robust enough to really show off. I've been pretty tired with the design outputs of LLMs for a while, and I've always thought diffusion offered much more creative / on brand design outputs, even before they were able to render text. I had enough conviction for this to leave my role over at Figma to build Diffui. The goal is to allow for you to design your full web app as quickly as possible, in a figma-like interface, and then hand that off to an agent to build. The page shows some interactive…

    Hey! My name is Dima, I am from Ukraine and I am the co-founder of Lost Pixel! We built this tool to solve our problems at work and decided to open-source it so more people can build their custom visual regression testing pipelines! If you want to chat about the tool or visual regression testing in general I am super excited to meet like-minded people! Thanks a lot for checking out the product and I hope it will serve you well if you decide to try it out :D

    Simply upload a photo of your wall, upload the artwork images, position them, and download the result. It's very lightweight and nothing is uploaded to a server - everything runs directly in your browser. Why I made this: Existing apps (like Artrooms) fell short for me because they only offered stock wall images and limited 3D positioning, especially if your wall isn't perfectly frontal. I wanted something more flexible that would allow me to experiment with more scenarios, even when the photo is taken at a weird angle. The objective is to get a feel of how'd it look like, without the result…

    Hello HN! I made Comfy Nodekit, a small library to make it easier to build and serialize ComfyUI workflows directly in Python. If you’ve ever tried to hand-craft large ComfyUI graphs or maintain JSON workflows by hand, you probably know how messy it gets once you reach a few dozen nodes. We needed a better way to generate and modify graphs programmatically, so we built this. Comfy Nodekit lets you create graphs with typed node factories, then export them back to the exact JSON format ComfyUI expects. It also introspects your running ComfyUI server to generate Python bindings for your custom…
