Glad you liked the first result. And ugh, sorry you hit that error on the second go. You're right, that "unexpected error" message is pretty useless. Better error handling is at the top of my to-do list now.
That's a great question. Right now, the inference costs are coming out of my own pocket. My main goal was to let people experience the model's potential without any barriers.

To keep the project sustainable in the long run, I'm exploring some options, like potentially offering a paid tier for heavy users or more advanced features. For now, I'm focused on improving the core experience and will do my best to keep costs low so it remains accessible to as many people as possible.

I'm so sorry you ran into that, and thank you for reporting it. This is exactly the kind of feedback I need at this early stage.

You're right, my backend logs show that most requests are succeeding, which means there must be an error happening somewhere between the front-end and the server that I'm not catching properly yet.

Based on this, implementing a more robust error logging system is now my top priority. I'll get on it right away so I can find and fix these issues for everyone. Thanks again for giving it a try.

Thanks! Not yet. To get this launched quickly and validate the idea, I'm currently using a cloud API to handle the inference.

However, my plan is to eventually deploy the model on my own server. I'll be sure to document the entire process—from setup to optimization—and share it as a detailed guide on the site for anyone interested!

Show HN: I built a playground to showcase what Flux Kontext is good at

https://fluxkontextlab.com

Hi HN,After spending some time with the new `flux kontext dev` model, I realized its most powerful capabilities aren't immediately obvious. Many people might miss its true potential by just scratching the surface.I went deep and curated a collection of what I think are its most interesting use cases – things like targeted text removal, subtle photo restoration, and creative style transfers.I...

Show HN: Block Blast – an addictive block puzzle game

https://block-blast.cc/

Absolutely thrilled to see Block Blast launch here! As a fan of puzzle games that actually make you think, I’ve got to say, Block Blast is a breath of fresh air. The strategic placement of blocks on an 8x8 grid adds a layer of depth that’s often missing in other puzzle games. I love how it challenges you to plan ahead and think critically with each move.What really stands out for me is the...

I'm really sorry that you had such an experience. I took a close look at the website you mentioned (https://minimator.app), and it's indeed a beautiful and fun tool. In comparison, my website does seem quite rough, especially when there are so many alternatives out there that offer similar functionality but with much better design.

Being labeled as 'AI spam' was never my intention. I genuinely hope that the product I created can actually help users because I myself have found a lot of joy in the process of AI-generated art. I want to make something better to help others, but unfortunately, my current starting point seems quite poor.

Thank you for your feedback, and once again, I apologize for the negative experience. I'll start by working on the design suggestions you provided to make my product better, more unique, and more valuable.

I'm not good at art or drawing, so whenever I want to describe the scenes I imagine, I always feel frustrated. That's why I used my programming skills to create this tool. To be honest, when I first saw my words turn into such vivid images, I was both shocked and moved. Maybe you should give it a try too. I hope everyone can experience the joy of creation.So, go ahead and try it out...

Ta-da~ Check it out here: https://www.demonnamegenerator.top/I've spent nearly 5 years as a machine learning algorithm engineer (ML/DL/operations research/LLM), and now I'm transitioning to becoming an independent developer.Last month, I quickly brushed up on front-end knowledge, glanced over HTML/CSS/JS, and then reviewed the documentation for Next.js, TailwindCSS, and ShadcnUI. After that, it...
