That's an interesting idea. Maybe you purchase a property and set up a big package dump thing for delivery drivers, have a webcam in the deliveries room and another in the main room, and you run 30 days of random stuff being delivered? Everythingn delivered must be assembled and added to the room?
Not today's internet. But there was a time when people on the internet as a rule were not jerks. Unfortunately it now serves mainly as a conduit to connect various jerk-groups into globe spanning entities. But it wasn't always so.
People already basically do this - big twitch streamers and YouTubers get overwhelmed with being sent random stuff, there’s tons of videos where they open a bunch of them up. It’s not a living room, but it’s not far off the concept.
Beautifully amazing. Though I never got a chance to send a prompt, as all the rooms appear full to me. It's a bit frustrating to have no indication whether you're going to be in a queue, or if it's just random chance.
Thanks! Sorry about that I didn't expect so much usage, and with my 300 dollars of cloud credit I dont want to add more rooms cuz this is already only going to last the afternoon.
The queue is FIFO and resets when the round does, if you get in it, it adds a place above the text box letting you know your current order in the queue.
thanks :) sometimes I wish I had more valuable ideas but I'm just an antenna transmitting whatever my brain is receiving. my brain wishes it was 2005 and the internet didn't suck
Make a few mini game versions, eg rooms of 20, everyone has 10 seconds to write something, 5 seconds to vote in which goes in, person with most voted-in things wins the round and/or gets to set the base pic for the new room. Rotating or random themes for the sorts of things you can suggest, edit wars where teams have to get something edited towards their end-state goal, while the other team is promoted edits for something else.
A bunch of game modes like this, freemium ad supported where paid versions or in game currency lets you setup custom games, private rooms, “super prompt” power where your prompt gets 2x the weigh.
theres a btc address in the about page if anyone wants to donate some btc for compute or email if someone at a cloud provider wants to donate some inference :)
It's weird to me that I've been using the internet for 30 years, and there's still no convenient way to be able to just chip in 20c for something. Paying anything is still a big clunky process.
that might happen eventually but it also might be too crappy to charge for. its about to go back up in the next 5 mins thanks to a generous hn reader. I do think
Many right people definitely already have. They are waiting for your next move … one or two may help ferry you across the channel but I would expect they are mainly waiting for your next move! Get busy.
The biggest issue you have right now is that it's far too easy to completely replace the original room by deliberately or accidentally floodfilling it out of existence.
I'd recommend several possible methods to fix this:
1. Set a MIN_ORIGINAL_IMAGE as a percentage - though it'll have to be a perceptual check since Nano degrades the original image. When it falls below this value, reset the counter.
2. Setup an intermediary LLM to determine if the user's instructions are "malicious"
3. Add system instructions to Nano Banana that coerce user prompts to only allow them to fill in a "portion" of the original image
Hey thanks for the notes. This was previously using the google API which was failing much faster and not degrading the quality over edits to this degree. I hastily switched to fal.ai and it's a lot jankier rn. I'll be digging into this tonight, despite likely running out of credits again in the next 24 hours lol.
Imo seeing the janky api made me realize that a lot of the magic is still there even when it goes awful.

I miss when if someone got too heated, I could pull the "I'm literally a child, maybe I should call the company the whois info is showing for your IP and tell them their sysadmin is acting like one" card.
(Imagine getting owned that hard by a teenager. Modern internet just can't compare since you can just say the most vile shit under your real name with zero consequence apparently.)
updating it with a gallery soon. its an empty room that everyone sees, u can collab on edits 1 prompt at a time. at 20 edits the room resets and it plays a timeline of the edits.
I just switched api providers working on sorting that out. I think it's mostly when the api won't process it for safety reasons. With the new provider the room is getting stuck occasionally when the content gets a lil risqué.
Im str8 pushing to prod so we will see if it gets better or worse
update coming in the next hour. unfortunately many of the old rooms are gone but someone donated some $ for compute. it'll be back online until the internet drains it. Gallery coming soon.
:D love to hear that, the new api is a bit jankier and slower but it's back up. 1 more shoutout to the awesome HN reader who donated a bit to keep the compute flowing.
