⚄︎ Perchance

This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.

Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)

This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

See this post for the Complete Guide to Posting Here on the Community!

Rules

1. Please follow the Lemmy.World instance rules.

2. Be kind and friendly.

  • Please be kind to others on this community (and also in general), and remember that for many people Perchance is their first experience with coding. We have members for whom English is not their first language, so please be take that into account too :)

3. Be thankful to those who try to help you.

  • If you ask a question and someone has made a effort to help you out, please remember to be thankful! Even if they don't manage to help you solve your problem - remember that they're spending time out of their day to try to help a stranger :)

4. Only post about stuff related to perchance.

  • Please only post about perchance related stuff like generators on it, bugs, and the site.

5. Refrain from requesting Prompts for the AI Tools.

  • We would like to ask to refrain from posting here needing help specifically with prompting/achieving certain results with the AI plugins (text-to-image-plugin and ai-text-plugin) e.g. "What is the good prompt for X?", "How to achieve X with Y generator?"
  • See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
  • You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
  • We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.

6. Search through the Community Before Posting.

  • Please Search through the Community Posts here (and on Reddit) before posting to see if what you will post has similar post/already been posted.

Default value on page load? (self.perchance)

There was a recent thread that has been deleted titled: [allogen] just the most genericest generator ever

This generator had a nice feature to apply artists to the t2i plugin... but it had a LOT of external stuff going on plus performance-killing full-size page background images... as well as a lot of extra code and styles that I don't really need. I know @[email protected] commented on it.

Based on that gen, I figured it would be handy to have an artist plugin.. so I made one called "artist-plugin" so I could import it into t21 generators. https://perchance.org/artist-plugin

Now I'm working on a demo generator using this plugin, and I'm 99.9% happy with it so far. I'm still doing minor tweaks to make it even cleaner. It's VERY basic: https://perchance.org/aa3den2ecy

Everything is working perfectly EXCEPT: When the page first loads, the artist that displays is NOT being used for the initial images that are displayed (because it's random from the plugin).

Clicking on the buttons (Artist name buttons or random Artist button) works as intended, and then everything is fine until the next page reload. If you click the "Update Images" button BEFORE choosing an artist, everything is random and the artist title is not related to the images.

How can I get the Artist correct (in the heading AND in the prompts) on the first page load? Init? Store a variable? I'm sure I'm missing something silly and simple.

Thanx for any help!

I updated the fork of the original one on this generator. I switched the artist list to the importable one.

I suggest messaging @[email protected] if they ever have any updates to the Artist list or if they need any help in pre-processing their list.

ps. that generator is also on the learn-perchance-plugins-text-to-image page.

Thanks! In the plugin, there has been one update to the artists already since I first checked @[email protected] 's original generator. I also fixed case and sort for the artist names in the plugin (and added a few artists), and will maintain that in the plugin to avoid having to include .titleCase in the generator code.

ps: It seems like you could output the copy button just once - next to the title. I think it would be more useful to be able to copy AFTER seeing a sample of the artist's work generated? I guess it would depend on how the generator is used.

I've removed the copy button on each name and only have it on the top, next to the artist name.

If you have any ideas for prompts to generalize the artists style, i.e. currently it is only showing results for portraits, what if we had a sample prompt for a landscape, etc. for easy test of the artist's style..

Pinging @[email protected] if you have any input on this.

Hmm.. that might be tricky because the vast majority of the artists in the list primarily draw/paint people. I changed the prompt to "seascape" and only a few don't include people. I spose you could add (people) to the negative prompt and see what happens.

A more ambitious project would be to have multiple subjects to choose from.
