the only magic is how magical it feels to be in control

This means a lot! I'm glad our philosophy in how we've decided to engineer Mirascope has come through so clearly!

We have so much in the works

thanks for sharing!

honestly the issue was not that it couldn't produce an SVG

it's that it wasn't good and i couldn't get it to really match my style

i feel like the midjourney flow has more potential because of your very first point -- starting with an SVG

it would be super cool if there were a way for users to create their own SVGs using your flow -- these look great!

i was just playing around with SVGs yesterday and was wishing there were an easy-to-use tool out there for fiddling around. i couldn't get chatgpt 4.5 to get it quite right and ultimately abandoned it in favor of something premade

wbakst — Sun, 09 Mar 2025 22:21:26 +0000

it's interesting, it feels like less needing to think much bigger and more so that we're now able to accept that much bigger ideas we've been thinking about are far more feasible.

that's so cool. all those grand ideas that felt so far away are right here ready to grasp and realize.

i like this so much

"stone soup" could be seen as a trick (to get the villagers to provide that which they were previously unwilling), but i like that it's multiple different villagers who provide individual ingredients -- it's the coming together of everyone and their individual contributions that ultimately makes the soup so good

the fact that the failure modes come from limitations of the robotic hands is super interesting
