More feature rich UIs already exist as thin wrappers for this tech. Some linked from the Real-ESRGAN github repo. More importantly, Google Colab notebooks exist already as well, so you don't even need a graphics card. People are allowed to question what aspect of this project this is novel. I believe it's a fair critique when many tools already exist. A criticism doesn't imply a negative connotation. I personally appreciate the before/after comparison demo aspect of this tool. However, I value the ability to modify parameters and models more than a before and after comparison tool. I see parameters/models are on the road map but I personally believe it should be part of a 1.0 release. I personally am a fan of https://github.com/AaronFeng753/Waifu2x-Extension-GUI https://github.com/AaronFeng753/Waifu2x-Extension-GUI

The only reason why I built Upscayl was because there were no GUI solutions for Linux. Everywhere you see, Windows Windows Windows. Which is great for Windows people, but you already have Topaz Gigapixel, arguably the best piece of paid software I've ever seen. I wanted something similar for Linux. After receiving "No, I don't think so" as a reply for my question about Image upscaler GUIs for Linux on r/opensource, I decided to build one of my own. I hope the GUI can benefit other people.

  Don't get turned off by the negativity - pretty nice cross-platform work you have here.

  Don't let the haters get you down. This looks really useful. Easily portable binaries that do one thing well are highly underrated. I will be trying this out on my PC. Thank you!
