Somewhat OT, but I find this really funny. It says a lot about the difficulty of using various ecosystems and where communities spend time polishing things.
"Yeah, I made something that takes natural language and can do things like change seasons in an image. But a GUI? That's complicated!"
It's not a criticism of you, but the different ecosystems and what programmers like to focus on nowadays.
- bryced 4y agoFair but I'd point out I also didn't make the algorithm that changes photos. I'm wrapping a bunch of algorithms that other people made in a way that makes them easy to use. It's not just that GUI's are hard, it's that the "customer" base will inevitably be much less technical and I'd receive a lot more difficult to resolve bug reports. So no-gui is also a way of staying focused on more interesting parts of the project.
