#43The fanfiction and comedy ones look like xtra normal (circa 2010) + Clutch Cargo (circa 1959).

#44A killer feature would be uploading your own pictures to be motion-ified
Good idea, we can definitely add that

#45> turning it into a training set of images of the character in different poses, shot from different angles. Something is wrong, it looks like it is just using multiple layers of images/video and cutting back and forth to predetermined combinations of layers... I would polish the idea a bit more before publishing it or people may think, (quoting your Reddit link) "Looks like stinky doo doo. Don’t quit your day job"
Fair enough that you don't like the videos Eggnog makes. We think you can make fun stuff with what Eggnog is capable of today and will be adding more control over the outputs.
Nah, I think the videos are neat, but I have niche interests in art like datamoshing, algorithmic art and whatever... What I am saying is, if you are trying to pull a Midjourney with video that can be sold as a product (i see you are YC W24), wait a little while and make it more appealing before going public so people get the right idea about your product, and come back to it for more. Right now it seems like it is a little gimmicky.
> We think you can make fun stuff ...
To be brutally honest, don't say "We think you can". It does not matter if you think people will like it. Do people like it? If the average Joe sits down and plays a with the model, will they have a good time?
I'm not trying to be abrasive or rude here, just honest.

There are only two hard problems in computer science.
Cache invalidation, naming things, and off by one errors.

#50So, 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?
