Comparing the App Store listings, it looks like this app has a much simpler interface and far fewer features than Draw Things. Some users might prefer the simplicity of this app. (Draw Things is by far the most advanced app that supports on-device Stable Diffusion on iOS devices and Apple Silicon Macs. It had a non-standard UI, but otherwise is really good.) https://apps.apple.com/us/app/draw-things-ai-generation/id6…

Thanks for the link, it seems fascinating!

Yea I had no idea this existed! Totally going to play with this now. Surprised this is free tbh

Hell, i'd pay for something like this on Desktop (tho i'm on Linux (NixOS)).

How does this compare to Draw Things?

I enjoy its UI personally. It’s sad to say it, but non standard on a mac means it’s actually kind of usable for a ‘pro’ app.

I have to disagree w.r.t. UI and non-standard being preferable for a pro app.

Having used Drawing Things regularly for the last few weeks, I still get confused by certain interactions and UI elements, leading to mistakes, and 'lost productivity'. It would greatly benefit from a UX pass, as more standard UX improves expectations of what will happen upon performing an action.

Don't get me wrong: I appreciate that it was released –for free– and that its capabilities are what they are. I'm merely arguing that more cohesive UX and pro functionality are not mutually exclusive.

As an example of a 'pro' app, there's Pixelmator Pro, which is a very Mac-assed app. I was able to pick it and start using it immediately without tutorials as its typical UX is intuitive (to me, as a macOS user), even when it came to more complicated operations.

Some more examples that I can think of off the top of my head: Proxyman, TablePlus, Kaleidoscope, Tower. The only exception to my observation, based on tools in my daily arsenal: VSCode. Non-standard UX, yet still intuitive.

Everything else that's non-standard feels like I'm battling with the UI daily, even after years of use: Android Studio, Slack, and most of the complicated Electron apps.

1) Just how much space do you think a decent LLM takes up? "lol" indeed. 2) This is 2024. Phones aren't limited to 128K any more. The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max can be configured with up to 1 TB of storage. (no personal connection to this app... I just get tired of people on here gratuitously crapping on interesting stuff that other people have made)

> The iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max can be configured with up to 1 TB of storage. On the flip side, apparently the base-model iPhone 15 Pro comes with zero storage upgrades. You get the same 128gb base-model storage as the regular 15, and the 256gb entry model is reserved for the Pro Max. A bit surprising, given that iPhones don't support expandable storage.

Not sure how you're seeing that the base model iPhone 15 has zero storage upgrades? I'm seeing 128, 256, 512, and 1TB at https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-iphone/iphone-15-pro
