I realize it may be good marketing, but it's odd to have the fact that it's on device and offline be the primary differentiator when that's probably how most people use Stable Diffusion already. I'd probably focus more on it being easy to install and use, as that's something that isn't done much. For me, if it doesn't have Controlnet, upscaling, some kind of face detailer, and preferably regional prompting, I'm out. I also kind of wish all of these people that want to make their own SD generators would instead work on one of the open source ones that already exist. While an app store might be a good idea, in a world with Auto111 and all of their extensions I think it's going to go over poorly with the Stable Diffusion community, for what it's worth.

I think there's probably a bunch of people who don't use things like A1111 because of the complexities of the download-this-which-downloads-this-which-downloads-this-then-you-manually-download-this-and-this setup model. I can see how something simpler might appeal to new users, even if it doesn't appeal to existing users.

  Sure, and I agree with that. As I said, I'd probably push that just as much as it being 'offline,' if not more.

You hit the nail on the head when you said it's good marketing, but go all the way. The thing you find odd tells you who they want to use their product; You're not their target audience. They are trying to convert people from using online-only services like Dall-E, not people who already use SD.

I’ve oddly found many cloud wrappers to stable diffusion. So I like the upfront on device/offline description. It was weird when I was first playing with SD how many packages did severe phone home or vms or whatever instead of just downloading a bunch of stuff and running it.

I've used SD on my device, but I found it worth it to pay for the hosted version because it's much faster.
