โš„๏ธŽ Perchance

This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.

Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)

This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

See this post for the Complete Guide to Posting Here on the Community!

Rules

1. Please follow the Lemmy.World instance rules.

2. Be kind and friendly.

  • Please be kind to others on this community (and also in general), and remember that for many people Perchance is their first experience with coding. We have members for whom English is not their first language, so please be take that into account too :)

3. Be thankful to those who try to help you.

  • If you ask a question and someone has made a effort to help you out, please remember to be thankful! Even if they don't manage to help you solve your problem - remember that they're spending time out of their day to try to help a stranger :)

4. Only post about stuff related to perchance.

  • Please only post about perchance related stuff like generators on it, bugs, and the site.

5. Refrain from requesting Prompts for the AI Tools.

  • We would like to ask to refrain from posting here needing help specifically with prompting/achieving certain results with the AI plugins (text-to-image-plugin and ai-text-plugin) e.g. "What is the good prompt for X?", "How to achieve X with Y generator?"
  • See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
  • You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
  • We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.

6. Search through the Community Before Posting.

  • Please Search through the Community Posts here (and on Reddit) before posting to see if what you will post has similar post/already been posted.

Hi @[email protected],

I'm here again to give you a few more suggestions for UX improvements and rehash some old ones.

Improve automated NSFW tagging of images. It's not uncommon to see clearly NSFW images in PG13 galleries, which usually end up there by accident. Sometimes it happens by bad actors, too. Very often misspelled tags end up being interpreted correctly and thus bypassing the filter. Some tags can be quite ambiguous too (think balls ๐Ÿ˜), you can't just simply forbid it by dictionary lookup. Why not employ AI for this purpose? You already seem to rely on AI alot, and extra request doesn't seem like it would add up alot to the costs. You can cache the GPT response to avoid having to send the request for each generation with same tags.

Implement searching by tags within a gallery This has been a recurring request of how convenient that would be to search by tags inside a gallery. I understand to implement properly you would have to ideally to store everything in the database, which I remember you were reluctant to touch at this point. Are you the person managing T2I framework? In this case maybe you can wind up with the simplest of searches on user side, loading all pages of the gallery and caching the tags on a page (I remember there were saved inside an attribute for each generated image). Then on client-side just do simple regex search and filter images.

Also while I'm at it, I have few questions regarding generator management:

Do you plan on adding (more) hooks for modifying comment box and a gallery? Now that I got to play with generators a bit, I get it now that accessing data from an iframe is painful, if not impossible. I understand the idea for encouraging generator creators to code, but reimplementing chatbox or a gallery just for simple change in CSS is IMO not justified.

Having experienced managing generators with other people, writing a code becomes painful in that one can easily overwrite other's work. Not asking for cloning of git functionality, but there should be at least some sort of visual indication for when someone is working on generator's code to discourage other people from changing code while someone else is working. Plenty of times someone had accidentally canceled someone else's work, which is not very fun.

Thanks for keeping perchance alive.
