I REALLY wanted to allow testing without email. The issue is that every trial costs me money. Not "paywalling" it with a login would mean people can just generate unlimited times.Bad payoff but had to :/

Agreed with the artist part. My previous startup (headlime.com, acquired by Jasper.ai), was mostly used by copywriters instead of non savvy folks. I genuinely believe that text2image AI will help artists, not hurt them.

I use an invisible firebase anonymous login for public rate limiting.

I have an open source example using openai https://observablehq.com/@tomlarkworthy/tarot-backend

A demo sells it.

You should try to host the model yourself.

Using the SD API is great for a POC, but to scale this and take full advantage of the cost benefits, you need to spin up a cloud GPU.

Heck - you can even build an off the shelf PC and pull workloads from the cloud, and then upload the resulting images. That would work well within your traffic needs. Maybe the upfront cost isn't worth it to you, but if you already have the components ...

(I've done this myself. I run a dual cloud / on-prem 3090 cluster.)

Planning on learning how to do this next week. If you have any articles/video that could point me in the right direction, that would be highly appreciated.

I made this for a generator I made (example, https://phantasmagoria.stavros.io/images/6cJAbYyeDXfA6oHZ/).

It's just a task library (I used Dramatiq) with a worker that connects to it. Then the worker picks up tasks, processes them and uploads the results to R2.

You’re losing a huge market share by not solving this. I would have generated a few, but I’m not giving you or anyone else my email unless I really need something.

Cookies/ip rate limiting.

I'd rather sign up with a fake email than potentially be rate limited by someone in my same IP range.

Why would they limit an IP range rather than a single IP? Do you live in a country that is an internet pest for these sort of things?

Yes.

Unfortunately there is not a good solution here.
