So, I'm not surprised the site would get slow after hitting the front page, but why is the character creation form taking minutes to update? There's a text box - it should take less than 1 second for me to click the text box and type a word, even if submission takes a while. What is going on there?

Sorry it's lagging so much. Looking into it. Just so I understand the issue, when you try to add text on the character creation page to describe the character, nothing loads in the text box? Or is it something else?

Well, every interaction with the page takes 30s+ as if it's making a request to a server under heavy load. Clicking a button does nothing, clicking into the text box doesn't even show a cursor.

Ok thanks for letting us know. That's not a good experience so we'll work on making the UX snappier.

Any chance you will add the ability to upload images into your character creator?

Yeah we should support that soon. What did you have in mind?

I've already spent HOURS in Midjourney generating hundreds of images just to get the perfect cyborg robot elf. I just want to use that work and upload the best of those images into the character creator, rather than hoping the prompt gets me something close to the character I want and waiting 20 minutes to find out.

Just saw something similar the other day but for images. Looks interesting. At this stage it would be a great tool to storyboard a video quickly. Who’s your target user persona?

Anyone who is into making AI videos. There are a bunch of people on r/aivideo making exciting things. Definitely could also be used to storyboard and experiment with ideas for a full-scale movie
