A set of online tools for providing authenticated access to the Connected Web Images API.
- GFX Suite - hosted web interface with user authentication
- Images API - hosted web API for taking image requests
- Remote Crank - locally hosted image gen server
- Image hosting - images uploaded via FTP to be displayed in browser
Utilises comfyanonymous/ComfyUI as a local image gen service; using the Remote Crank to receive and process image requests.
The system is designed for cost-effective hosting - providing a public presence online (accessible from anywhere), while taking advantage of local hardware for relatively expensive image processing tasks.
Private planning board on Miro:
- ✅ Assess Alpha and survey for user feedback
- ✅ Implement feedback from Alpha
- ✅ Option to clear local prompt and request history
- ✅ Store initial batch results when making the request
- ✅ Show place holders based on batch size
- ✅ Add button to repeat a batch by editing an existing prompt
- ✅ Display batch details in tabbed view
- ✅ Show more progress on new image generations
- ✅ Hide batch details in tabbed view
- ✅ Store initial batch results when making the request
- ✅ Repeat a batch by editing an existing prompt
- ✅ Fix login screen prompting on every visit
This feedback has been grouped and prioritised to help build the Beta roadmap.
- Bugs 🐛: Immediate blockers, need urgent attention.
- Feature requests ✨: Enhancements that improve user satisfaction, prioritized after bugs.
- Neutral suggestions 💡: Acknowledged but not critical; lower priority.
-
Login screen is far too common
🐛 - This is a user frustration related to frequent logins, and fixing it will reduce friction. -
Want a way to build queries on mobile by using icons/emojis tied to filters
✨ - This is a feature request that improves mobile functionality and filtering experience. -
Want a way to build variations on a prompt by combining word lists
✨ - Enhances creative flexibility for users by offering more options to build prompts. -
Want a way to retrieve results from server
🐛 - Critical for getting results efficiently, making this a functional blocker. -
Want a way to edit descriptions / summaries of results
✨ - A feature that improves control over content, enhancing user satisfaction. -
Want to clean up bad image generations
✨ - Helps refine and improve outputs, a feature that would enhance image quality control. -
Want to re-request failed images (send automatic report at end of generation?)
🐛 - Automates failure recovery, saving time and improving the reliability of the image generation process. -
Want to browse other images without scrolling all the way back to top
✨ - Improves ease of navigation and enhances the user interface for a better browsing experience. -
Suggest render placeholders based on batch size (altho infinite loading scroll is nice)
💡 - A neutral suggestion that acknowledges the current solution but offers an alternative for rendering images based on batch size. Lower priority.
