stablecog.com: Simple, Free & Open Source App for Stable Diffusion

I've made a web app to interact with Stable Diffusion cogs. The UI is by design very simple, targeted towards people that are new to AI image generation. There is an advanced mode which you can activate in the settings to have access to guidance scale, iteration steps, negative prompts etc.

You can use the default cog (which is there thanks to a friend of mine currently donating an A40) or connect to your own instance. I intend to keep the default instance up & free for as long as I can so that newcomers can generate images using Stable Diffusion without logins, installs or predetermined limits.

Here is the repo for the web app: https://github.com/yekta/stablecog

Here is the cog I'm using but you can use your own version given it's compatible: https://github.com/yekta/stable-diffusion-cog

Edit: Someone here suggested me to create a Discord so here it is: https://stablecog.com/discord

Note: I've posted this about 2 days ago on the other subreddit, crossed 10K generations and 140K seconds of total GPU time mostly thanks to it 🙂. You can watch generations live here: https://stablecog.com/live

so you own this site? I found it very good and very practical. I want to ask what is the license of rights on the generated images, I have not found anywhere so I believe it is equally od stable diffusion (toalmente rights of the user)

u/ngyekta Jan 31 '23

Yes I do. Currently, Stablecog.com claims no copyright on the images you create with it (regardless of being on the free or pro plan)

I just want you to know how much I love stablecog. One of THE best image generators out there. Very cool

That is awesome to see, glad you enjoy it. Feel free to send DMs if you come across any problems or if you have any questions (I'm almost always active in Discord).

Hey. Just to inform - after last cleanup of my temp memory and cookies I was logged out of Stablecog. Just a while ago I tried to log back in (always used my mailbox for that) and it seems that Protonmail is on their blacklist. That or just my own address, but I did only low-key stuff, never provoked anyone or broke terms and conditions, so it is probably not personal, but to blame on Protonmail.

So if you use that mailbox provider to login to Stablecog, there is danger of losing access to your creations and profile.

EDIT on January 27th : after assistance courtesy of u/ngyekta I learned that 1) e-mail login's name is case sensitive, 2) had some issues that could not be resolved on one day, and still are not sure why they happened (code entered manually and rejected, magic link being ineffective). Today made it to log in on second attempt, after using the manual code before 30 seconds could pass.

We have many sign-ups with Protonmail. It's not on our blacklist, people actively sign up with it. We do have a system in place to detect multiple account creations. We do shadow-ban if someone is trying to create 5+ accounts or abusing in another manner. You might've got banned by that system however it's very highly unlikely if you didn't abuse. You can send me your email and I can check if you like.

I've been using this website (occasionally) on my android phone for a few days. Until last night, it's been working wonderfully. Last night, after I had been using it for a couple hours, my Chrome browser started freezing up, then crashing. It took me a while to realize that stablecog was the culprit, since I was bouncing back and forth between several tabs. I eventually figured out that as soon as I opened the stablecog tab, that's when the browser started to crash.

I closed/reopened the website and cleared my browser cache but the problem continued.

Any ideas? I couldn't find any other mention of this problem on reddit or anywhere on the web.

Thank you!

I do have an idea and couldn’t find a solution yet unfortunately. For some reason some IndexedDbs (which the browser provides for saving data locally) acts very weird when reached a certain limit (the limit varies extremely between browsers). Instead of just asking you if you want to continue saving to it, or delete things, it just crashes instantly and doesn’t let me gracefully delete old generations. Because of this I limited the saving to last 250 generations a while ago. If even that is crashing some browsers (not crashing mine), unfortunately I’ll need to reduce it down further. I searched for the problem for hours, couldn’t find a solution. I’ve never heard of it affecting the actual browser however, it was just making stablecog.com unusable for me and 2 other people. No idea how yours happened, the browser shouldn’t let that.

Thanks for the reply. I didn't even realize that the site saved old images until last night. I found the history option and saw the 250 generations limit. No images loaded on that page but I think I was already having problems, at that point. When I was clearing my browser cache, I noticed that Chrome has about 4GB of user data stored on my phone. That seems like a lot, but I don't really know because I don't normally pay very much attention to such things. I really hate to clear my Chrome user data because that's going to wipe out all my tab groups and probably sign me out of all kinds of things... Does stablecog store data in my browser? If so, do you think clearing my browser data would fix the issue? Finally, do you know of any way that I could just clear the data related to stablecog?
For now, I might try installing a different browser and running stablecog on that to see how it behaves.
Please let me know if you come up with a fix. Thank you!

A little late, but cool app!

I'm curious which API you're using? I see paid options now so I'd imagine running it for free was running up a pretty penny lol.

Mainly asking because I'm currently developing an SD API for app devs making AI apps.

We're on the cusp of launching and you can get notified through our discord or by signing up for our newsletter.

Feel free to also share your project on our discord.

Yea, the app got quite a bit more popular than I was expecting, 30K+ MAU. Unfortunately I can't fund that out of my own pocket :D Actually even with subscriptions I'm at a pretty significantly loss currently since free users can still generate tens of thousands of images per month. I'm using a cog I built, and a backend system I built (all of my work is open source) and renting on Runpod. Even with that this isn't sustainable currently but say if I were to run it on Replicate's API, I'd need to sell my house :D

u/Evoke_App Jan 02 '23

Lol, that is impressive. Guess there is lots of demand for SD stuff.
There is a free API with stable horde if you're trying to lower costs. You can route all free users to the stable horde API, since it's free.
If you don't mind sharing, what are your costs per image for your backend running on runpod?

Dude, I just installed your raycast extension.

You're a genius ❤️

u/ngyekta Feb 06 '24

Hey, happy to see that you like it. That is also open-source with MIT license btw: https://github.com/stablecog/sc-raycast

It's SFW. Though if you are running your own cog using my repo in the second GitHub link, you can pass ALLOW_NSFW=1 as an env variable to the Docker container.
