Draw Things, Stable Diffusion in your pocket, 100% offline
Hi, this is the first app in a while (probably 10 years) that I submitted to AppStore. I've done this app in 3 weeks, so there are a lot to be polished. The technology that enables this I discussed in depth in an accompanied blog post: https://liuliu.me/eyes/stretch-iphone-to-its-limit-a-2gib-mo... Some parts of it (or major parts) is also available at https://github.com/liuliu/swift-diffusion. I plan to port more stuff back to swift-diffusion and make a CLI tool out of it (it is a bit more work than the app because I need to consider CUDA…

InvokeAI, an open source Stable Diffusion toolkit and WebUI2022 · github.com · ▲414Hey 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.

- SPStock Photos Using Stable Diffusion2022 · ghostlystock.com · ▲190
Hi HN, this is an early version of what we’re imagining as a truly functional stock photo platform using Stable Diffusion. We’re doing our best to hide the customization prompts on the back end so users are able to quickly search for pre-existing generated photos, or create new ones that would ideally work as well. If we keep going with it, in future versions we’d like to add voting, better tags, and more varied prompts, or maybe whatever you recommend!

I made a thing! In 2014, I was holding a stack of iPhones and thought to myself: "Hey, if I had each phone display a playing card, I could click a button and they'd shuffle themselves" I pared that idea all the way down to this: trading cards made of e-ink displays. Right now, each card costs me about $20 each, but with only a bit more scale, I think I can get that down to $10. In doing this project, I learned how to design electronics and circuit boards. I learned Rust and wrote my first driver, I upped my CAD skills, 3D printed, and did my first resin casting. I generated the images on the…
