I wrote a thing, and clicked go, and had to sign in. Sigh -- fine okay.

Signed in. It sent me back and lost my prompt. Sigh -- fine okay.

Wrote it again, clicked go, and it said ran out of credits, and sent me to billing.

I can see it's a Claude-built app but this just shows the importance of UX.

Because the UX here, sucks!

Clicked on one of the comics to see how the images came out and it immediately started playing audio. Auto playing media equals an instant tab closure never to return.

The only problem is that the generated comics have typos and seem to make little sense.. They’re just kind of setting up a story?

Edit: Oh, I missed the choose your adventure aspect to them, so what’s on the front page are just samples of what you can do, and how a start of a story can look like if someone had already made the choices for you? I guess I have to pay to choose outcomes myself and continue the stories.

What the hell is the pricing? You can't see the prices unless you create an account & login. I was eager to try this out but with this attitude, big no.

Can you explain why would someone pay for this? The price is hidden (sneaky) but with uBlock I see it's $8 or more every month. I can buy any comic from the past 60 years at that price.

That's the point of experiments right? From my own experience, I found these who use image / video generators are mainly in e-comm and advertisement. Only recently creative works (such as YouTubers) start to use these (they were early adopters for audio / speech generation, and lipsync. But image / video generators, even just for YouTube thumbnails are recent phenomenon).

Indeed it's better to buy comics to help real artists pay their bills while their work is "democratised".

Those who want to make an advertisement comic?

nice - i'd switch off the autoplay (or use latets state of play/pause) on navigation as it can be annoying for some users who dont want the audio.

This is pretty cool. Have you seen anyone do this consistency with vector image format?

Very excited to share this tool with everyone of you, This is choose your own adventure style comic generator where you choose what happens next in the story. I am open to feedback. Browsing the comics generated by others if free and generating comics is a paid feature.

It's so sad to see people embracing AI slop like it's normal.
