Hi all!

I've been playing around a lot with Stable Diffusion recently, and I thought it would be fun to showcase this previously impossible use case: business logos that are generated daily.

The implementation itself uses Depth2Img (although ControlNet might be the next step) to generate an image from the logo, as well as some post-processing/masking to clean it up.

Happy to answer any questions!

Great point. I might need an entirely separate landing page for the artist/general audience vs the prosumer type landing page that currently exists.

(If you’re interested, the gist is that custom models allow for completely distinct “styles” as well as unique characters. For example, if you wanted to generate art in the style of Monet, you could train a custom model in that style)

It’s a great point. I had been using BunnyCDN to optimize the images/serve as webp, but there are a few on the model preview page that I definitely need to shrink further.

Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for the heads up! I’ll take a look - last I checked that link was rendering correctly, so I’ll see what’s going on there

I got pretty into Stable Diffusion soon after it came out. Like a lot of users, I tinkered around with different ways to run it, going the usual route of running on my weak local machine, then going on to runpod, then implementing my own custom solution.

What I came up with worked pretty well for me, so I created a site that allows users to upload custom models and run Stable Diffusion “in the cloud”.

I launched in early December and it ended up being more successful than I expected. I just got to $700 MRR, which I’m definitely happy about after years of side projects making exactly $0.

The site in question: https://stadio.ai

Ah, thanks for the info. I’ll edit my post.

She won with 57% of the vote in her district. By definition not a minority. Are you objecting to her winning through a democratic process?

Great work! I just wanted to point out that I'm seeing "Plans start at $xx.95/month" on the homepage. Wasn't sure if that's a typo/something you meant to replace.

Thanks for checking it out :) And I agree with you - it's definitely a small use case. I think it would be most helpful for companies with a small dev team who want to implement a favorites list, but may have other, more pressing things on their backlog.

It's an idea that has been in my head for a while. I like the idea of small feature-based APIs that can be used without requiring much dev time.

If they like it enough to sign up/give you their email, what’s preventing you from sending them an update? Or sending them a simple questionnaire?

I would be careful when considering an upvote a positive signal. At the best, it’s someone showing they are just on the line of being interested enough to sign up. At worst, it’s just empty validation for an idea that won’t work.

Would you mind sharing your Twitter? Would love to read about your development process.

According to the WHO, around 14% of cases require hospitalization. Is 14% a big enough number for you?

Messaging apps like Signal or WhatsApp are not providing content in the way that you describe. They are just carrying messages from one user to another, and would be rendered useless by this bill.

Hi guys,

I recently built a PC for the first time. I found that one of my favorite parts was looking for the best deal for each part. I spent a lot of time lurking on different deal sites and buying the build piece by piece. To save some time, I ended up coding a script to watch items that I was interested in, and notify me when they fell below a certain price. I've saved a fair amount of time and money using it, so I thought this is a tool that some of you could get some use out of too.

Right now it's meant mostly for electronics, but it should work for any item that can be gotten just from the URL. I only have a couple of the big sites at the moment, but have plans to add a lot more.

Let me know if there's anything you all would find helpful to add!

I don't think that's necessarily true. If you and I both enjoy escape rooms, but we aren't friends/don't have a way of contacting each other about it, one of us won't hear about something that would bring us value. Good advertising would take out the roll of the dice that comes with social networks.
