Show HN: Shortbread – Create AI comics in minutes
Just go to the link and click on "Start Creating". No signing in required.<p>I built shortbread to help anyone to create comics / manga series. The onboarding process helps you kick start a page from 60%, then you can use your creativity to bring it to 1000% in a fully-controllable editor.<p>Tech stack:<p>GPT 3.5 Turbo - the comic script generation. It handled everything from layout, character, scene, SD prompts, to dialogue.<p>SD 1.5 - We put up SD servers on GCP. For every comic we generate one large image and crop it into panels. Per the experiments of u/Deathmarkedadc on Reddit, this massively helps with consistency. The models are trained on anime scenes tho, and might not be so great with animals.<p>Frontend: Next.js 13 on Vercel, React + Typescript. We built the entire editor from scratch to compose the comic (images, panels, speech bubbles, text) like a webpage. This allows you to edit and republish your comics like a website.
You can dynamically generate panels as well. Try resizing a panel into a long narrow box and generate.<p>Backend: Firebase.<p>Sample comics:<p>a japanese couple sits at dinner table. The husband told the wife a secret (link <a href="https://create.shortbread.ai/viewer/debdf25c-3f95-492a-952a-3098e0044bf5_2">https://create.shortbread.ai/viewer/debdf25c-3f95-492a-952a-...</a>)<p>An army of male soldiers fighting against an army of female soldiers in ancient china (<a href="https://create.shortbread.ai/viewer/4566613c-7146-4ed7-9b8d-85bcd2e58785_2">https://create.shortbread.ai/viewer/4566613c-7146-4ed7-9b8d-...</a>)<p>a team of girls play volleyball against a team of boys (<a href="https://create.shortbread.ai/viewer/aafc2f61-d008-4f3f-aa8f-62d87080d66b_2">https://create.shortbread.ai/viewer/aafc2f61-d008-4f3f-aa8f-...</a> )<p>Next steps:<p>- More pages<p>- Fine panel-level control. Poses, control net, etc.<p>- Multi-character.<p>- Different styles.<p>- Allows you to control character design.<p>I’m Fengjiao Peng, founder and chief engineer at Shortbread. I was previously a webtoon artist. We want to build this into something you can create entire comics series / manga / webtoons with. Criticism and suggestions welcome!

Show HN: A job application tracker with company reviews, recruiter autoresponder
Hey folks. Rolepad is a product born out of my dissatisfaction with hiring processes - both as a candidate and as a hiring manager. Processes that are non-transparent, inefficient, and full of frustration for both sides. This early iteration has focused on the application tracking aspects with a few extra goodies.<p>These days it is common to apply to dozens of positions (some users track over a hundred opportunities). Without a record-keeping system, it can quickly become an unmanageable mess. Even the better-organized among us often end up juggling spreadsheets, emails, and various notes. Rolepad was built to keep this data (company facts, role details, interview stages, contact info, freeform notes, follow-up actions, and more) in one place. Some of the other neat additions:<p>- Forward emails to save@rolepad.com to save them as notes connected to specific opportunities. Forward recruiter messages to no@rolepad.com to have the system automatically reply with a decline response.<p>- Generate shareable Sankey charts of your progress like this: <a href="https://app.rolepad.com/metrics/6QEbaktB7bqR8glhuYR32" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://app.rolepad.com/metrics/6QEbaktB7bqR8glhuYR32</a><p>- Submit anonymous reviews and insights about application/interview/offer processes at a company . This is new and there aren’t great examples to share yet (<a href="https://rolepad.com/companies/brilliant.org" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://rolepad.com/companies/brilliant.org</a> is an early glimpse), and I didn’t want to create fake data as a matter of principle.<p>Oh yeah, and it’s totally free :) Creating an account is passwordless and takes seconds, but if you want to kick the tires even faster, I created test credentials for this occasion:<p><pre><code> username: test@rolepad.com
password: hntest
</code></pre>
With this release, I am also starting conversations with employers (<a href="https://rolepad.com/employers" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://rolepad.com/employers</a>). A unified platform for candidates and employers can significantly reduce frustration for both in ways that email cannot. I should note that any solutions here have privacy implications and will require an exceedingly thoughtful execution.<p>And now for the tech stack. The main application uses React with Tailwind on the frontend, C# on the backend, hosted in AWS (App Runner, Lambda, RDS Postgres, SES), with auth provided by Google Firebase, and CI/CD via GitHub Actions. The home page is actually an SSR (server-side rendered) application built with vite-plugin-ssr (now vike) and hosted in a Cloudflare Worker that hits the AWS-hosted API. This is basically a best-of-all-worlds SSR configuration - very fast, zero cold start (!), and essentially free.<p>Any and all feedback is sincerely appreciated!

Show HN: Running LLMs in one line of Python without Docker
Hello Hacker News! We're Yangqing, Xiang and JJ from lepton.ai. We are building a platform to run any AI models as easy as writing local code, and to get your favorite models in minutes. It's like container for AI, but without the hassle of actually building a docker image.<p>We built and contributed to some of the world's most popular AI software - PyTorch 1.0, ONNX, Caffe, etcd, Kubernetes, etc. We also managed hundreds of thousands of computers in our previous jobs. And we found that the AI software stack is usually unnecessarily complex - and we want to change that.<p>Imagine if you are a developer who sees a good model on github, or HuggingFace. To make it a production ready service, the current solution usually requires you to build a docker image. But think about it - I have a few python code and a few python dependencies. That sounds like a huge overhead, right?<p>lepton.ai is really a pythonic way to free you from such difficulties. You write a simple python scaffold around your PyTorch / TensorFlow code, and lepton launches it as a full-fledged service callable via python, javascript, or any language that understands OpenAPI. We use containers under the hood, but you don't need to worry about all the infrastructure nuts and bolts.<p>One of the biggest challenge in AI is that it's really "all-stack": in addition to a plethora of models, AI applications usually involves GPUs, cloud infra, web services, DevOps, and SysOps. But we want you to focus on your job - and we take care of the rest "boring but essential" work.<p>We're really excited we get to show this to you all! Please let us know your thoughts and questions in the comments.

Show HN: Use your familiar Markdown editor to create and publish web pages
I'm excited to introduce my own developed Markdown editor to everyone. It's built on the Monaco editor and designed specifically for developers. This editor integrates various features such as document management, resource management, and MDX extensions. You can embed images, audio, video, and even use plugins like drawing tools, calendars, and cards to showcase your creativity. What's even more thrilling is that it allows users to customize PostgreSQL table structures, insert and display data in Markdown documents, and even collect form submissions.<p>My original intention in design was to use MDX to describe pages (with limited differentiation), and utilize low-code building tools to present and collect data. This way, users can use simple text to describe individual web pages and aggregate multiple web pages into their site.<p>Now, it has completed a portion of the work; for instance, the blog on my official website is self-generated using this method.<p>However, most users should use it as a markdown editor with extension components. I'm not sure how to better describe my vision. I really hope that you are interested in trying it out and providing suggestions.
