Persona Forge

going to ship it! Has some slight bugs, but I want to ship it and then sort out more bugs.

Pain down the road

I mentioned last devlog that moving my backend to vercel could cause some pain down the road. I was right. Now I have moved it back to being hosted on my end, so the preview doesn’t work any more. Sorry about that.

Attached is all the commits I made today.

Vercel Deployment

Now available in the public in beta!!!

https://character-creator-two.vercel.app/

Please give feedback via comments!

Good to go on Vercel. Realized though this might cause me pain down the road during development having the issue of committing to get the API to change. We will see though.

This is a smaller devlog for today but I want to go ahead and post it!

Added a system that limits users to 10 images a day, and automatically resets. IDK why I like it so much but I do!

Of course, there are many loopholes around it, but this whole project is mainly for my sister and she won’t know them whatsoever. I can count on that.

Now I just hope tomorrow it resets my request limit! 🤞🤞

Download Buttons & More AI

Well, so far this project makes 4 calls per image generated. That can’t get expensive, right? Right now it

1. Checks if the prompt is a character
2. Generates a list of traits from the prompt
3. Generates a name for the file based on the prompt
4. Generates an image

Recently I added a download button that downloads the generated image to your computer. The file name is auto-generated by AI which I think will be useful.

Next up is to figure out the share button.

I hope this project doesn’t blow up too much, because then I am going to burn through HCAI’s $3 limit so quickly.

I want to change the project name! Any suggestions?

What a productive 2 hours this was! Here is what has changed:

The things that work:

• Images are now being generated!
• The AI checker to check if the prompt is a character works, and will display a notification denying the request.
• You can generate a character all in the frontend, so technically this project is functional.

Things I need to fix:

• Images will take up the entire screen when displayed in the HTML Frontend. This isn’t supposed to happen
• UI is just garbage.

This project still has a long ways to go. (There is a roadmap on GitHub showing the completion progress.) Enjoy the picture of Superman holding up a car with the people in the car singing.

Have a foundation done so far. This includes the main frontend screen (just the opening screen), cool styling, and node.js AI stuff. Here is the funny part: It really hasn’t generated a single image yet in over three hours of work.
