Hey, Scribble Diffusion author here.

Thanks for your kinds words and feedback. I love seeing all these links to your scribbles.

I'm an engineer at Replicate, which is a place to run ML models in the cloud. We built Scribble Diffusion to demonstrate how to use Replicate. It's open source: https://github.com/replicate/scribble-diffusion

This is all built on ControlNet, a brilliant technique by Lyumin Zhang for controlling the outputs of diffusion models like Stable Diffusion. https://github.com/lllyasviel/ControlNet

Here's another example of someone doing something cool with ControlNet: https://twitter.com/dannypostmaa/status/1630442372206133248 -- it lets you pose a stick figure and generate DreamBooth images that match the pose.

I see a few bits of feedback here about issues with the Scribble Diffusion UI, and I'm tracking them on the GitHub repo. If you want to help out, please feel free to open an issue or pull request.

What a simple, but excellent concept! I kind of expected it to crash after being posted to HN, but surprisingly it is still going strong. What does it cost to host something like that? What does it cost to generate each scribble image?
