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!

Thanks for the feedback, Totally agree about the UX. I have pushed a fix and it should be live in some time.

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.

I have fixed this issue, should be live in some time. Thanks for the feedback

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".

akashbangad · 10h ago

To be honest AI comics would not ever be as good as the one from comic artists and this product isn't an alternative to the comic books in real world. This is for the ones who want to explore stories which the traditional comic book artists would probably not put out. The difference here is you get to play the director and the AI is just your companion to paint the picture.

Those who want to make an advertisement comic?

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.

akashbangad · 10h ago

Yes the ones on the front page are the stories that have been generated with a prompt and continued by choosing what happens next. here is a demo video

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

Do not click ABOUT link, it is his personal profile in linkedin

akashbangad · 9h ago

since the project is an indie developer project, LinkedIn seem okay for about section. But I took the feedback and instead added a page for the about section

bilater · 11h ago

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.

akashbangad · 10h ago

Yeah got a lot of feedback around this, Fix is pushed should be live in some time

akashbangad · 12h ago

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.
